“…A precise diagnosis is essential for choosing the correct therapy and determining the prognosis adequately. Therefore, orthodontic treatment planning requires an accurate prediction of the amount and direction of craniofacial development [2][3][4]. Since Broadbent [5] introduced lateral cephalometric radiography in 1931, studies on craniofacial growth and development have increased in number and many researchers have suggested definitions and norms for the normal occlusion.…”

Distribution of the Condylion-Gonion-Menton (CoGoMe^) Angle in a Population of Patients from Southern Italy

The condylion-gonion-menton angle (CoGoMe^) is commonly used as a pre-treatment indicator of responsiveness in Class II patients treated with functional appliances. The distribution of this angle in the Caucasian population is still unknown. This study aimed to determine the distribution of the CoGoMe^ and its relationship with age, sagittal jaw relationship (ANPg^), and mandibular inclination (SN^GoGn) in patients from Southern Italy. The sample included 290 subjects (median14 years of age; Interquartile range, IQR, 12–17) with lateral cephalograms taken before the orthodontic treatment. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ was assessed with the Shapiro–Wilk test, and the differences according to the ANPg^ and the SN^GoGn were estimated using one-way ANOVA. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate how the CoGoMe^ varied according to age. The statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. The results showed that the CoGoMe^ was normally distributed (P = 0.290) with a mean value of 127.2° ± 7.7°. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ in groups with different SN^GoGn angles was significantly different (P < 0.001). These angles showed a positive association (Beta coefficient B = 0.6; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.67; P < 0.001). In growing patients, the CoGoMe^ decreased every year by 0.6° (B = −0.6; 95% CI: −1.05, −0.12; P = 0.014). In conclusion, the CoGoMe^ was associated with mandibular inclination and could be considered to be a predictor of vertical growth patterns.

“…One systematic review investigated the different treatments of Angle Class III malocclusion in adults, but only two studies that evaluated surgical interventions were included, since the review included solely randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials [19]. At the same time, several systematic reviews investigated the effects of Class III malocclusion treatment in growing patients with different treatment approaches [18,[20][21][22]. Despite a wide bibliographic search, we only found nine studies, and all of them were retrospective.…”

Google Scholar, Lilacs, and Cochrane databases, without limitations regarding publication year or language.Studies evaluating nongrowing individuals with Class III malocclusion undergoing orthodontic camouflage treatment with any orthodontic technique, including extraction and non-extraction approaches, were considered. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment according to a modified Downs and Black checklist were performed by two independent reviewers. A third evaluator was included if disagreements emerged.Results: Nine studies were included in the review. Eight presented high risk of bias. Different methods for Class III malocclusion correction were described and included maxillary and mandibular premolar extractions, mandibular incisor extraction, Class III elastics and distalization of the mandibular dentition. Extractions in the mandibular arch resulted in lingual tipping and retrusion of the mandibular incisors, and labial tipping and protrusion of the maxillary incisors. The use of Class III intermaxillary elastics promoted proclination of the maxillary incisors, extrusion of the maxillary molars, distal tipping of the mandibular molars, extrusion of the mandibular incisors, and clockwise rotation of the mandible. Distalization of the mandibular dentition resulted in distal tipping of the mandibular molars, retroclination and retraction of the mandibular incisors, and counter clockwise rotation of the mandible.Conclusions: Treatment changes are influenced by the method used to correct the Class III malocclusion and are primarily dentoalveolar

“…Moreover, there is very little evidence in the literature on the long‐term effects of changes produced by a facemask, which necessitates further studies that provide information on this point (Rongo et al, ; Woon & Thiruvenkatachari, ).…”

The facemask is a widely used device in the treatment of Class III malocclusion and is intended to anteriorly displace the superior maxilla or stimulate its growth in that direction. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of treatment using orthopedic maxillary expansion with facemask therapy in patients with Class III malocclusion. Sixty‐four patients, with a mean age of 8.14 ± 1.18 years at the start of treatment and a mean age of 9.78 ± 1.19 years at the end, were treated using orthopedic maxillary expansion and associated facemask therapy. The patients were evaluated using lateral head teleradiography before and after treatment, and the differences were analyzed. In addition, binary logistic regression was used as a model for predicting successful treatment. When comparing the changes achieved by treatment, statistically significant favorable changes were found at the skeletal level. Furthermore, an improvement in the airways at all levels was detected. Orthopedic maxillary expansion associated with facemask therapy has proven effective in treating early skeletal Class III malocclusion.
