Abstract:
A case of facial deformity and malocclusion due to secondary hyperparathyroidism is presented. Treatment consisted of parathyroidectomy, followed by recontouring of the maxilla and mandible with additional dental treatment. A 3-D reconstruction of the computed tomography (CT) scan was helpful in evaluating the facial deformities and in treatment planning.
