Objective: This study aimed to compare the treatment times in patients with complete bilateral Class II malocclusion, with and without mandibular crowding, treated with 4 premolar extractions.
Methods: The sample comprised 57 retrospectively and consecutively selected patients (30 male, 27 female) treated for initial Class II malocclusion, divided as follows: Group 1 consisted of 23 patients (11 males, 12 females; mean age 13.13 years) presenting no crowding or 3 mm at most. Group 2 consisted of 34 patients (19 males, 15 females; mean age13.06 years) presenting more than 4 mm of crowding. Crowding was manually measured in the initial dental casts. The Objective Grading System (OGS) index was manually measured in the final dental casts and radiographic images. The groups were comparable regarding initial age, gender distribution, and final occlusal statuses. The treatment times between the groups were compared using the t-test. Correlation between crowding and treatment time was evaluated with Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Treatment times between the 2 groups were similar (P = .890) and there was no significant correlation between the amount of crowding and treatment time (r = 0.04, P = .760).
Conclusion: Treatment times for complete Class II malocclusion with and without mandibular crowding, treated with 4 premolar extractions, are similar.

Introduction The role of the condylar position in the correct functioning of the stomatognathic system has been the center of the study. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), this study looked at the three-dimensional (3D) position of the condylar bone in patients from Class I, Class II, Division 1, and Division 2. Materials and methods This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted using 102 CBCT records, with 34 records allocated to each category of malocclusion classification, such as dentoskeletal Class I, skeletal Class II, and dental Class II, Division 1 and 2.

Twin block appliances are commonly used to treat skeletal class II malocclusion. However, many adverse effects, such as lower incisor protrusion and a bulky nature, can be observed. To overcome these effects, a modified twin block was designed, which uses vacuum-formed hard plates (VFPs) instead of acrylic plates.

Background: Orthodontic treatment need has commonly been assessed using treatment need indices during clinical examinations or using photographs in combination with plaster casts. Recently, the use of intraoral photographs alone to screen malocclusions has increased.
Objective: This study aimed to validate intraoral photographs for the assessment of orthodontic treatment need.

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most intricate anatomical entities within the human body and is clinically relevant in the field of dentistry. Therefore, the present study aimed to conduct a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric comparison of the TMJ space in skeletal Class I and II patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted on 40 CBCT records divided into skeletal Class I and skeletal Class II patients.
Camouflage Orthodontic Treatment of a Severe Class III Malocclusion.
Case Rep Dent

Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, Pretoria, South Africa.
Class III malocclusion remains the most challenging occlusal problem to treat due to the complexity of the interrelationships of the underlying skeletal and dental structures. Camouflage orthodontic treatment is a preferred alternative method used to manage mild to moderate Class III malocclusion in nongrowing patients. The aim of this article was to demonstrate a camouflage orthodontic treatment of a 22-year-old female patient diagnosed as having a severe skeletal Class III malocclusion characterized by a straight facial profile, reverse overjet, crowded maxillary incisors, retrognathic maxilla, prognathic mandible, and a hypodivergent facial pattern.
