Skeletal Class III malocclusion is a complex malformation with a prevalence of 81.6% in Airlangga University Dental Hospital, distributed in patients aged 15-45 years old. Camouflage treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion improves prognosis with a mild-to-moderate shift.
This study aimed to discuss orthodontic camouflage as an option for adult patients with Class III malocclusion,
emphasizing its indications, implications, and expected results.
This report presents the case of a 17-year-old male patient with poor facial aesthetics associated with protruded
chin, abnormal functional shift, and temporomandibular joint pain. The facial profile was concave with lower
anterior multiple diastemas, mandibular lip protrusion, mandibular displacement, and anterior crossbite. This case was treated by camouflage therapy using straight wire appliance system combined with elastic class III.
After 24 months of treatment during the pandemic, the mandibular displacement and the crossbite were corrected, the teeth were arched, the anterior crossbite fixed, and the profile became convex.
Camouflage orthodontic treatment can be an effective management option to achieve functional occlusion, stability, and a satisfactory aesthetic impression in adult patients with mild to moderate skeletal Class III deformities, anterior cross bite, and functional shift.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the static balance under the virtual moving surround (VMS) in healthy young and elderly adults. METHOD: There were twenty four healthy young adults and thirty nine healthy elderly aged 60 and older. Each group was tested with forceplate during quite standing with eyes opened, closed and under the VMS for static balance. The VMS was stimulated with a head-mounted display (HMD). The parameters for static balance were total sway path distance and area. RESULTS: All static balance parameters of healthy elderly were significantly increased in all conditions when compared with parameters of young adults. In the young adults and elderly, total sway path distance and sway area were significantly different under the VMS. In the healthy elderly, total sway path distance and sway area were significantly increased under the VMS as much as eyes closed. CONCLUSION: In the healthy adults, the VMS could provoke the significant postural sway during static standing. VMS can be used as a tool to evaluate and treat of the patients with static balance dysfunction.

Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy is a rare, self limiting disorder that affects healthy young adults with sudden, severe loss of central vision. We diagnosed bilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy in a 17-year-old man who experienced sudden, rapidly progressive central visual loss following a flu-like illness and report this case with a review of the literatures.

A case of fibroepithelial polyp on vulvoperineal area is described. Her age is 20 year old and the tumor measured 9 cm in its largest diameter and was connected to the left labium majus. This case is very unusual in that almost all reported vulvar fibroepithelial polyps are small and sessile, and should distinguish from malignant cancer. We have experienced an unusually large vulvoperineal mass that was surgically excised and histologically diagnosed as benign fibroepithelial polyp and present this case with a brief review of literature.

It was known that lateral view of caucasian's face is projected roundly, however, that of Asian's face is flat relatively. The aim of this study was to investigate the facial depths of Korean and to find the existence of the difference with Caucasian. We used the standardized photographs of 852 individuals (559 men, 293 women) of Korean young adults between 20~39 years old and measured items using image analyzer. Measurement items were five anterior-posterior lengths between points from tragion to sellion, pronasale, subnasale, stomion, and gnathion. The facial depth of the Korean showed no significant difference based on laterality. Items such as tragion-sellion length, tragion-pronasale length, and tragion-subnasale length were showed minor difference according to gender. As results that compared upper, middle, and lower facial depths with caucasian, Korean had generally short facial depths. The lateral shape of face of Korean showed relatively flat, because the lower facial depth was longest due to projection of mandibular part especially.
