PROCEDURES
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment in coordination with oral surgery
procedures to extract a mandibular incisor and install bilateral mandibular
Bollard-type intrusion plates. Restorative dentistry with preparation and
installation of six (6) maxillary anterior teeth veneers.
RESULTS
Patient treatment progressed well; lower anterior teeth were retracted as
the extraction space closed and we obtained true intrusion of mandibular
anterior teeth to create restorative clearance for maxillary teeth. Porcelain
veneers were installed with excellent occlusion and esthetic results. Patient
satisfaction was high with the outcomes. This case was possible with a com-
bined multi-specialty collaboration between the restorative dentist, ortho-
dontist, and oral surgeon.
FOLLOW UP: Stable, esthetic occlusion was obtained.
Dr. Deji V. Fashemo received his dental degree
from the School of Dentistry at the University of
Ibadan, Nigeria and a Certificate of Advanced
Education in General Dentistry from the University
of Rochester Eastman Dental Center. He was sub-
sequently admitted into the orthodontics and
dentofacial orthopedics program at the same insti-
tution. While in Rochester, Dr. Fashemo also
received advanced training in Public Health and
Clinical Research, culminating in the award of the
degree of Master of Public Health in Clinical Inves-
tigation and Research. Dr. Fashemo proceeded to Indiana University School of
Dentistry / Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis for fellowship training in
cranio-facial-cleft and surgical orthodontics. He was recruited to pioneer the
establishment of South Texas’ first hospital based surgical and craniofacial
orthodontics practice at Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi. He later
was appointed medical director, a role he fulfilled in addition to his very active
clinical orthodontic practice.
In 2009, Dr. Fashemo continued his professional career in the Dallas area and
established Fourth Dimension Orthodontics & Craniofacial Orthopedics to sup-
port the craniofacial anomalies program based at Medical City Dallas Hospital
while also serving as the Medical Director of Craniofacial Orthodontics at the
same hospital. In 2016, the practice opened a second location in Allen, Texas.
When not fixing teeth, jaws, and faces with braces, or spending time with his
wife and daughters, Dr. Fashemo enjoys playing soccer.
