“…Sood S, Kharbanda OP, Duggal R, Sood M, Gulati S (2011) 12,13 had done a study on Class II division 1 malocclusion, there was a significant decrease in the muscle activity at one month after Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device insertion during swallowing of saliva and maximal voluntary clenching which gradually returned to pre-treatment levels at the end of six months. G. Bhavani, R. Navaneethan (2017) 14 suggested that significant skeletal changes commonly seen are the restriction of the maxillary growth and the increase in mandibular length. However, the restriction of the maxillary growth is more predominant than that of the increase in mandibular length.…”

Class II malocclusion is one of the most frequent problems encountered in orthodontic. The most common characteristic of Class II malocclusion is mandibular retrognathia rather than maxillary protrusion according to McNamara. Non-growing patients with Class II mandibular retrusion are mostly treated with fixed functional appliances. This article represents two case reports of Class II division 2 malocclusion cases treated with Forsus Fatigue Resistant Appliance after initial levelling and alignment. Forsus Fatigue Resistant appliance in particular when used in conjunction with full bonded fixed appliance facilitate the correction of Class II Div 2 malocclusion by skeletal and dental changes.

The current study aims to measure the variations of the mesiodistal width of permanent teeth in a sample of patients attending Ajman University Dental Hospital. Materials and Method: A Descriptive cross-sectional study of 85 pretreatment study casts of patients (M:33, F:52) aged between 11-38 attending the Orthodontic unit at Ajman University Dental Hospital. The samples were selected randomly for measurements, which were performed using an electronic digital calibre. The width of an individual tooth is measured accurately from the mesial contact point to the distal contact point. The measurement was performed for all the 12 maxillary and mandibular teeth (from 16 to 26 and 36 to 46). The data put up in an excel sheet and sent to the statistician for analysis. Results: Class I and II showed a higher overall ratio and anterior ratio in males with no difference between the gender neither in the anterior or the overall ratio. At the same time, Class III malocclusion had a significant difference in both overall and anterior ratios. The maxillary 1st premolars and 2nd premolars teeth have insignificant mesiodistal differences between genders, while the maxillary canine and the 2nd premolar have a significant difference between right and left quadrants. The mandibular teeth showed no significant difference in mesiodistal width between right and left quadrants. Conclusion: The insignificant difference between the sample and Bolton in the anterior and posterior ratios in Class I & II cases explain the similarity of the racial feature. There is a significant difference in Class III between our sample and the Bolton original work.
