“…There was no significant change in the SNA angle which coincides with El Kenany and Ismail 23 and Franchi and Baccetti 22 but not with El-Harouni 24 . This may be due to the higher elastic force used and longer duration of wear in El-Harouni study 24 . Also the advancement may have occurred due to growth.…”

“…25 The patients that were subjected to orthodontic or orthopaedic treatment were excluded as not to have any effect on the accuracy of the results. The design of the Class III splints in this study was similar to those previously tested by other studies [22][23][24]27 so that the results could be easily compared. Clear acrylic splints were used in the previous studies.…”

“…There was also no significant decrease in the SNB angle which coincides with El Kenany and Ismail 23 but not with Franchi and Bacetti 22 and El-Harouni 24 , may be due to the longer duration of wear and greater force level used in their studies. 22,24 The significant change in the ANB angle regardless the nonsignificant change in the SNA and SNB angles indicates that the skeletal change is due a combination of both maxillary advancement and mandibular retrusion together, but there is no significant change on any of them individually. Therefore, the Class III splint can be more effective in the treatment of Class III patients due to a combination of both maxillary retrusion and mandibular protrusion.…”

“…Clear acrylic splints were used in the previous studies. 23,24 In this study colored acrylic splints were used as it was found to attract the patient's more 28 and thereby they were more motivated to wear the appliance. Digital tracing by computer software was the choice for measurements calculation, as it easily enables the calculation of a large number of measurements.…”

“…They found more dental than skeletal effects of the splints in comparison to more skeletal effects of the facemask. El-Harouni 24 conducted another study to evaluate the skeletal, dental and soft tissue effects of the Class III splints for the treatment of growing Class III patients. It concluded that Class III splints caused skeletal as well as dental and soft tissue effects.…”

Objective:Objective: Objective: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the skeletal, dental and soft tissue effects of using Class III splints in the treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion in growing patients. Materials and Methods: Materials and Methods: Materials and Methods: Materials and Methods: The appliance was tested on ten growing skeletal Class III patients with an anterior crossbite. Digital lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken before treatment and after crossbite correction. The pre and post radiographs were traced and skeletal, dental and soft tissue measurements were calculated with the use of the computer software FACAD. Evaluation of the effects was by statistical comparison of the pre and post treatment measurements. Results:Results: Results: Results: There was a marked clinical improvement in the form of correction of the anterior crossbite and improvement of the patient's profile, which raised the self esteem of the patients. The statistical analysis showed skeletal effects in the form of an increase in the ANB difference, Wits appraisal, mandibular plane to Frankfort horizontal plane angle and convexity angle, and a significant decrease in the occlusal plane to Frankfort horizontal plane angle. Dental effects were in the form of an upper incisor proclination, lower incisor retroclination, upper molar proclination and lower molar Volume 43 -June 2013 retroclination, an increase in the overjet and molar relation, and a decrease in the overbite. Soft tissue effects were in the form of a backward movement of the soft tissue chin and the lower lip, and a forward movement of the upper lip. Conclusion:Conclusion: Conclusion: Conclusion: Class III splints can be used in the treatment of growing skeletal Class III malocclusion that is due to a combination of maxillary retrusion and mandibular protrusion. It is more indicated though with deep bite cases, unless it will be followed with phase II extraction or with the use of high pull head gear.

Objective Study was conducted to 3D evaluate skeletal effects of two different intraoral force application systems for treating skeletally growing ClassIII patients(RCT). Material and Methods 33 patients recruited and randomly allocated between three groups: GroupI(n = 11)treated with CS2000(CSgroup/ pulling force), GroupII(n = 11)treated with reversed Forsus Fatigue Resistant(RFgroup/ pushing force) and GroupIII(n = 11)untreated control(negative control). A CBCT taken before treatment(T0) and after gaining a 2mm overjet or after observation period of 6months(T1). Skeletal measurements were assessed and compared between groups. Within group comparisons were done using Wilcoxon Sign Rank test. Results Sagittaly in RFgroup, OLp-Apt increased by3.60mm, OLp-Bpt decreased by-2.50mm and OLp-Pg decreased as well by-2.00mm(P < 0.0001). In the same sagittal dimension for CSgroup, OLp-Apt increased by3.10mm, OLp-Bpt decreased by-1.10mm and OLp-Pg decreased as well by-1.00mm. Wits appraisal was increased by5.00mm and5.50mm in RF and CSgroup accordingly(P < 0.0001). There was an increase in OLs-Apt in treatment groups by3.80mm in RFgroup and5.00mm in CSgroup(P < 0.0001). Vertically there was a statistical significant difference between two groups. The ANS-Me decreased in RFgroup by-0.70mm and increased in CSgroup by2.00mm. Both treatment groups demonstrated an increase in SNAangle(2.6°in RFgroup and2.5° in CSgroup), decrease in SNBangle − 1.00°in RFgroup and-2.00°in CSgroup, hence increase in ANBangle.(P < 0.0001) Conclusions CS2000 spring and reversed Forsus Fatigue Resistance device promoted forward maxillary advancement in average of 5months. Both appliances gave close effects to bone anchored maxillary protraction devices and functional appliances, removing compliance factor out of the equation. Clinical relevance: Short term correction of growing skeletal class III using either one of novel techniques give positive skeletal results. Trial registration: Registered in clinicaltrial.gov (NCT04825951) in 01/04/2019, taking the approval of institutional review board at the Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University protocol record 070320212.
