2. Evidence based treatment
• What we know
• What we do not know
• What we know that’s just not so
Profitt
• Treatment of Class III malocclusion is like
opening a Pandora's box
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. • Growth in 3 planes of space declines to
adult levels at different times
• Transverse - preadolescent
• A-P - adolescent
• Vertical - post adolescent
Makes sense to time procedures at
different times for different space
problems
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. • Determine best time for orthodontic
treatment
• Cost
• Principles related to timing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. PLAN TREATMENT LATER?
- after adolescent growth spurt?
Prolonged growth in an unfavorable
pattern
- Class III, excessive mand. growth
- Orthodontic control of excessive
growth difficult
- Successful orthodontic camouflage
requires growth prediction
- Early surgery often unstable
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. Using Cervical Vertebral Maturation
System – CVMS
• Start early treatment
• CS 1 – 2 years before peak
• CS 2 – 1 year before peak
• CS 3 & CS 4 – pubertal spurt peak
• CS 5 & CS 6
• Franchi, Bacetti, McNamara 2005

7. Can you predict long term response
from pretreatment cephalometric
readings ?
• AJO/DO 2004 JULY– FRANCHI , BACETTI
• Discriminating analysis based on ---
ramus height
cranial base angle
mandibular plane angle
80% identified correctlywww.indiandentalacademy.com
8. Range of Class III malocclusion
Class I Psuedo Class III True Class III
Prognosis better
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. Diagnostic Criteria for Pseudo &
True Class III patients
• Family history
• Incisal relationship
• CO/CR discrepancy
• Molar relationship
• Difference in the WITS Analysis
• Gonial angle
• Growth rate & direction with time
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. PSEUDO CLASS III –
FEATURES
1. Positional malrelationship
2. Reflex functional mandibular
protraction
3. Retroclined maxillary incisors & / or
proclined mandibular incisors
4. Acquired muscular reflex
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. Diagnostic Criteria
Clinical Profile
a. Profile may / may
not be concave
b. Profile improves as
mandible drops from
occlusal contact
relationship to
postural position
c. Translation of
mandible forward
can be confirmed by
gently placing the
finger tips over TMJ
during opening &
closing.
Cephalometric
Profile
a. Wit’s appraisal
shows BO-AO 0 to
- 4 mm ( functional
occl. plane)
b. SNA,SNB angles
normal range. ANB
normal.
c. Maxillary incisors
may /may not be
more upright than
normal.

12. Differential Diagnosis of Class III
• Dental assessment
• Functional assessment
• Clinical assessment
• Cephalometric assessment
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. Dental Assessment
Molar relationship & Overjet
• Class III molar Class III molar
Negative overjet Positive overjet
Functional assessment Retroclined lower
CO/CR shift incisors
no shift shift
correct it
Clinical & Cephalometric
assessment
True Class III Psuedo Class III Compensated Class
III
DIFFICULT
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. Functional Relationships Of CLASS III
• Relationship between rest position & full
occlusion in sagittal plane –
• Rotational movement without sliding
• Closing movement with anterior sliding
• Closing movement with posterior sliding
• Pure rotational movement from postural
rest to occlusal position
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. Functional Relationships Of CLASS III
• Rotational movement without slide –
• Non-functional, true CLASS III –
unfavorable prognosis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. Functional Relationships Of CLASS III
• Rotational movement with anterior slide –
• During articular phase – mandible shifts
forward into prognathic forced bite –
functional non-skeletal – psuedo CLASSIII
– favorable prognosis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. Functional Relationships Of CLASS III
• Rotational movement with posterior slide –
• Pronounced mandibular prognathism,
mandible may slide posteriorly into
maximum intercuspation – masks true
sagittal dysplasia – unfavorable prognosis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. TRUE FORCED BITE – PSEUDO
FORCED BITE
• Anterior slide in both
• True forced bite = pseudo Class III =
favorable prognosis
• Pseudo forced bite = true Class III =
unfavorable prognosis
• Differentiation by cephalometrics
• Partially dentoalveolar – compensated
skeletal Class III
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. TRUE FORCED BITE – PSEUDO
FORCED BITE
• Upper incisors
tipped labially &
lower incisors
lingually
• Mandible guided
toward anterior
while closing
• Placing incisors in
correct axial
position reveals a
negative overjet –
eliminates anterior
slide
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. PROFILE / CLINICAL ASSESSMENT
• Check proportionate
positions of maxilla &
mandible in A-P plane
• Place patient in
natural head position
• Drop line from bridge
of nose to base of
upper lip & second
line from base of
upper lip to chin
• Straight or concave
profile in young
patients indicates
skeletal Class III
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. CEPHALOMETRIC ASSESSMENT
• Best analysis – relate maxilla to mandible
• Discriminant analysis found WIT’S
appraisal most decisive in distinguishing
camouflage from surgical treatment ( AJO
2002)
• Wit’s > - 5 = malocclusion might not be
resolved by camouflage with facemask or
chin cup.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. Cephalometric Analysis for Class III
• Intermaxillary 6 - 18 years
• Wits 0 mm
• Maxillo.-Mand. Diff 23 mm (12 y)
(Class III - 28mm)
• ANB 2°
(Class III 0° to -1°)
• Zero Meridian
(maxilla) + 2.3 mm
(pogonion) 0 mm
Mild to moderate Class III – WITS = - 4 to - 5 mm
Face mask therapy
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. 7 Structural Signs 0f Extreme
Mandibular Growth Rotation
• Inclination of the condylar head
• Curvature of the mandibular canal
• Shape of the lower border of the mandible
• Inclination of the symphysis
• Inter incisal angle
• Inter molar angle
• Anterior lower face height
Bjork A. 1969www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. DETERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL
GROWTH RATE & DIRECTION
• Growth treatment response vector –
GTRV ANALYSIS – PETER NGAN
• Serial cephalometric radiographs used to
predict excessive mandibular growth
• GTRV ratio = hori. growth changes of max
hori. growth changes of man
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. GTRV RATIO
• Mild to moderate Class III skeletal patterns
with GTRV ratio between 0.33 & 0.88 can
be successfully camouflaged by facemask
therapy
• Class III patients with excessive mand.
growth & GTRV ratio below 0.38 – future
orthognathic surgery needed
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29. • Long term outcome ?
• What happens during adolescent growth ?
• Maxilla forward, maxillary tooth
movement, mandible rotates down & back
• Will he / she make it without surgery?
depends totally on mandibular growth at
adolescence
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. • Treating pseudo Class III early – better
prognosis — to start with they were
Class I therefore NO SURPRISE
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. Early Timely Class III Treatment
• Advantages –
• Eliminate CO/CR discrepancies
• Improve smile & self esteem of patient
• Maximize the growth potential of the
maxilla ?
• Predict excessive mandibular growth ?
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. Goals of Early Timely Class III
Treatment
• Prevent progressive,
irreversible soft tissue
or bony changes
• Eliminate CO/CR
discrepancies
• Avoid abnormal
incisal wear
• Improve skeletal
discrepancies –
minimize excessive
dental compensations
• Improve lip posture &
facial appearance
• Improve self concept,
self esteem &
psychosocial well
being
O’Brien et. al. AJO 2003www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. Questionable Goals Of Early
Treatment
• To simplify Phase 2 comprehensive
orthodontic treatment
• To alleviate / reduce surgery ?
• Still not enough literature to know
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. When to intercept Class III developing
malocclusion? - Turpin’81
POSITIVE FACTORS –
• Good facial esthetics
• A-P functional shift
• Mild skeletal disharmony
• Convergent facial type
• Young patient with growth remaining
• Symmetrical condyle
• No familial prognathism
• Good cooperationwww.indiandentalacademy.com
35. Treatment of Class III
• FR III
• Reverse twin block
• Chin Cup therapy
• Protraction Face Mask
• Tandem appliance
• Camouflage therapy
• Surgery
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO START
FACEMASK TREATMENT
• Midpalatal suture broad & smooth during
infantile stage – 8 -10 yrs.
• Suture more squamous & overlapping in
juvenile stage – 10 -13 yrs. ( Melsen &
Melsen - AJO 1982)
• Maxillary protraction effective in
deciduous, mixed & early permanent
dentitions. – clinical studies ( AJO
1997,1998; EJO 2001)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO START
FACEMASK TREATMENT
• More anterior maxillary displacement when
treatment started in deci. or early perm. dentition
– (Angle Orthod 1998 ; AJO 1998 )
• Optimal time to intervene in Class III seems to
be when maxillary incisors erupt
• Long term study AJO 2004 – end of phase 2
fixed appliance therapy - greater forward
movement of maxilla & less mandibular
projection found only in early treatment group –
deciduous & early mixed dentitionwww.indiandentalacademy.com
38. • Maxillary growth completed in females by
15 yrs.– Bjork 1966 ; Bjork & Skieller -
BJO 1977
• Maxillary growth in females completed by
18 yrs. – Iseri & Solow - EJO 1990
• Adolescent boys maxilla stopped growing
by 18 yrs. – Savara & Singh – Angle
Orthod. 1968 ; Broadbent et. al 1975
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. • Reyes et. al – Angle Orthod. 2006 –
• 1091 untreated Class III subjects
studied –
• No significant increase in maxillary
length at various chronological ages
in either sex
• ANB & WIT’s – no skeletal
improvement during growth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. • Early mixed dentition treatment –
improves maxillary sagittal growth when
compared to treatment in late mixed
dentition – Chong Y H et. al - Angle
Orthod. 1996 ; Franchi et. al - AJO 2000
• Treatment in late mixed dentition –
increases in vertical dimensions due to
backward positional rotation of the
mandible – Franchi , Baccetti , McNamara
AJO 2000
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. Basic Principles of Early
Treatment
•Midfacial Vulnerability
•Earlier the Treatment Greater the Stability
•Disarticulation of teeth and TMJ
•Orthopedic Sutural Expansion of the Maxilla
•Overtreatment
•Laboratory Comprehension
•Early Detection of Deviation of Growth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. • 20 % to 30 % adult Class III – maxillary
retrusion & no mandibular prognathism –
Ellis, McNamara – J. Oral Maxillofacial
Surg. 1984
• 62 % had component of maxillary
retrusion Sue G. et al. – J Dent Res. 1987
• Developing Class III malocclusion – A-P
& vertical maxillary deficiencies – normal
to slightly protruded mandibles & average
to deep overbites – Hopkin et al. – Angle
Orthod 1968 ; Mouakeh M – AJO 2001www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. • Current trend-- TREAT MAXILLA NOT
MANDIBLE
• Early face mask therapy– demonstrates
effectiveness
• How early to treat ?
--- Delaire -- 8 years
--- recent papers – skeletal changes up to
onset of adolescence
--- at all ages dental changes occur & 10 %
mandibular changes likely
CLASS III
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Intraoral Appliances used with Face
Mask therapy
• Banded or soldered palatal expansion
appliance
• Bonded palatal expansion appliance
• Fixed plate or lingual arches
• Quad helix
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. • Is expansion necessary for maxillary
protraction? -- 6-8 years - yes – helps
forward protraction of maxilla.
( Melsen AJO 1982 )
• Bonded palatal expansion appliance – 400
gms elastic on each side 12 hrs. per day –
8-12 months of protraction-- correction
normally seen after 8 months
• Frontomaxillary, Zygomaticotemporal,
Zygomaticomaxillary & Pterygopalatine
sutures are affectedwww.indiandentalacademy.com

54. Disadvantages of ANB & WIT’S –
• ANB – Nasion position not fixed ;
rotation of jaws by growth or orthodontic
treatment can change ANB.
• WIT’S – Accurate identification of functional
occlusal plane not easy or accurately
reproducible ;
angulation of functional occlusal plane
caused by normal devt. of dentition or
orthodontic intervention can influence
Wit’s appraisal.

57. CONCLUSIONS
• Class III treatment still remains the
bane of all orthodontists.
• Grey areas in treatment timing still
persist.
• One must not try to be a hero while
treating Class III malocclusions.
• One needs to know the limitations
of Class III treatment.www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. • Early detection of CLASS III
malocclusion is beneficial.
• Judicious use of the growth
predictors is indicated.
• Discerning clinical acumen has to
be the forte in treating Class III.
• Evidence based treatment is the
need of the hour.www.indiandentalacademy.com
