Camouflage treatment in adult skeletal Class III cases by extraction of two lower premolars

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dentoskeletal and soft tissue profile changes after extraction of two lower first or second premolars in "borderline" adult skeletal Class III cases. Methods: Twenty-eight patients with "borderline" skeletal Class III malocclusion were studied. All of them were treated by extraction of two lower first or second premolars. Lateral cephalometric radiographs taken at the start and end of treatment were analysed. Twenty-five cephalometric variables were calculated and paired t-tests were performed. Results: After treatment, no significant changes were noted in the skeletal parameters (p ≥ 0.05). Regarding the dental parameters, the L1-MP angle decreased by 8.

Class III malocclusion camouflage treatment in adults: A Systematic Review

“…Of the nine included studies, eight were retrospective cohort and one was retrospective case-control [2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. No prospective studies, randomized or not, satisfying the inclusion criteria were found.…”

“…Five studies included patients treated with teeth extractions [6][7][8][9][10]. Extraction of two mandibular premolars was performed in two studies while extraction of four premolars was performed in one study [8][9][10]. One study included patients with extraction of one mandibular incisor [6].…”

“…The overall scores ranged from 13 to 21. Four studies scored less than 15 points and presented serious methodological limitations according to the modified Downs and Black checklist [6,[8][9][10]. Eight Reporting 1.…”

“…Camouflage treatment can be carried out by different approaches and may include teeth extractions, distalization of the mandibular dentition, and use of Class III intermaxillary elastics [2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Different approaches result in different outcomes and an overview of the effects of camouflage treatment in adults is not available as a systematic review.…”

Perawatan Kamuflase Maloklusi Klas III Dentoskeletal menggunakan Teknik Begg pada Pasien Dewasa

“…Penelitian terkait menunjukkan pasien dengan nilai overjet dan overbite kurang dari normal dapat mencapai hasil yang baik (normal) dengan perawatan kamuflase. 8 Teknik Begg merupakan perawatan dengan prinsip light force, sehingga memungkinkan gigi anterior digerakkan secara bersama-sama. 9 Teknik Begg merupakan indikasi untuk perawatan maloklusi kelas II, tetapi tidak menutup kemungkinan untuk melakukan teknik ini pada maloklusi kelas I dan kelas III.…”
