Abstract:

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the different components of skeletal class III, and its relative growth transformation in the three dimensions of space. Materials & Methods: The sample of skeletal Class III included 79 individuals; 41 in mixed dentition stage, and 38 in permanent dentition stage. The control group included 83 individuals; 40 in mixed dentition stage and 43 in permanent dentition stage. Lateral and postero-anterior films were taken for each individual and then digitally analyzed and planned measurements were performed. Results: Among skeletal Class III types, combined maxillary retrusion and mandibular protrusion showed the highest percentage of incidence and normal vertical growth pattern showed the highest incidence. Mandibular rotation didn�??t increase with age in skeletal Class III individuals. Transverse dimensions of the mandible of skeletal Class III individuals had no correlation with the anteroposterior discrepancy. Conclusions: Treatment of skeletal Class III cases is recommended in the early mixed dentition stage with big emphasis on the antero-posterior dimension.
