The patient demonstrated a Class III malocclusion with 30% overbite, 1 mm overjet, a centered upper dental midline, and a lower dental midline 2 mm to the left. She had a straight profile, a protrusive lower lip, and an interlabial gap of 3 mm (Figs. 1, 2, and 3). Space analysis indicated approximately 5.5 mm maxillary and 3 mm mandibular space deficiency. The maxillary arch was constricted. Ra...

statement of problem: due to the appearance of palatal height difference in orthodontic patients we decided to carry out this study. purpose: the purpose of this research was to determine palatal height in persons with normal occlusion and different malocclusions (class i, ii div i and iii) and comparing them with each other. materials and methods: in this cross sectional research, 240 subjects...

The aim of this study was to select a model of cephalometric variables to predict the results of early treatment of Class III malocclusion with rapid maxillary expansion and facemask therapy followed by comprehensive treatment with fixed appliances. Lateral cephalograms of 42 patients (20 boys, 22 girls) with Class III malocclusion were analyzed at the start of treatment (mean age 8 years 6 mon...

INTRODUCTION In this cephalometric investigation, we analyzed the treatment and posttreatment effects of an orthopedic protocol for Class III malocclusion consisting of a facial mask combined with a removable bite-block appliance. METHODS The treated sample consisted of 22 Class III patients treated with the facial mask and bite-block protocol before the pubertal growth spurt (mean age, 8.9 +...

AIMS To investigate the differences in morphological characteristics of borderline class III patients who had undergone camouflage orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery, and to compare the treatment effects between these two modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cephalograms of 25 patients (13 orthodontic, 12 surgical) with class III malocclusion were analyzed. All had a pretreatment ANB ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine any significant difference in nasal profiles amongst subjects in sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns in a sample Pakistani population, and to determine gender dimorphism if any. MATERIAL The sample was divided into three sagittal and groups, namely skeletal Class I, II, and III, and three vertical groups, namely, normo-divergent, hypo-dive...

conclusion a significant relationship exists between the type of facial skeletal classification and the shape of the sella turcica; as in class iii patients, sella turcica bridge was reported with a higher frequency. also, sella turcica had a significantly higher length in these patients than in those with class i and class ii facial skeletal types. results sella turcica had normal morphology i...

Background. The goal of treatment in Perthes' disease is the creation of best conditions for good hip reconstruction. The aim of this work was the comparison of radiological results of conservative and operative treatment by Salter osteotomy in Perthes' disease. Material and methods. 193 hips with severe Perthes' disease were analyzed (Catterall group III, IV), 105 hips were treated conservativ...

background and aims. class iii malocclusions are considered complex and difficult orthodontic problems to diagnose and treat. the purpose of this study was to investigate the morphologic characteristics of the craniofacial complex of adults with class iii malocclusion in an iranian population. materials and methods. lateral cephalometric radiographs of 50 patients with class iii malocclusion (2...
