Skeletal Class III malocclusion (Cl III) presents a significant orthodontic challenge, particularly in growing patients, requiring interceptive treatment to achieve effective functional and aesthetic correction. This review aims to compare various orthopedic devices and therapeutic protocols used in Cl III correction, identifying the most effective options in an interceptive context. We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for studies published between 1 January 2003, and 19 July 2023.

This systematic review explores the regenerative potential of growth factors, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and concentrated growth factors (CGFs), when combined with various types of scaffolds in bone augmentation procedures, including guided bone regeneration, split crest, sinus lift (SL), and alveolar ridge preservation. A comprehensive search strategy yielded 18 relevant studies, which were analyzed for bone formation and stabilization outcomes.

CMR allows comprehensive assessment of cardiac anatomy and provides tissue characterization by identifying pathological substrates, such as myocardial scars and edema, identified with the implementation of late gadolinium enhancement and T2-weighted short-tau inversion recovery sequences. Intraprocedural imaging is useful for real-time catheter tracking during the ablation procedure while simultaneously providing visualization of cardiac anatomy.

- * Using specific databases and criteria, researchers narrowed down 2,250 articles to 11 highly relevant studies to analyze the risks associated with these surgeries, highlighting temporary and permanent sensory loss as potential outcomes.
- * Despite available treatments like laser therapy and pain management for nerve damage, patients often experience a significant decline in their quality of life post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- * Using PRISMA guidelines, the researchers conducted a systematic review of literature from 2003 to 2023, filtering down from 2554 articles to 12 for detailed analysis.
- * The findings suggested that therapies like orofacial myofunctional therapy and specific appliances might improve these conditions, although further research is needed for comprehensive understanding.
