A clinical example of effective treatment of an adult patient with combined deformations of the jaws (upper prognathism of the third degree and open occlusion of the second degree) is reported. Fragmented osteotomy of the maxilla at the level of symmetrical removal of second molars is performed. Due to Engle's arches soldered with Vasil'ev's splint and compression, a maxillary fragment was shifted 10 mm backward and downward at the expense of compressing the inter-root septae; the first molars were preserved. Diastemata and tremata between incisors of both jaws were eliminated by the same method.

This study is intended to review the cephalometric data pertaining to the diverse Indian populace through a systematic literature survey. To conduct a systematic review of literature, an electronic search was done on Medline, Embase, and Central databases. The available data were categorized based on the existing five geographic locations of the country (north, south, east, west, and central India) and analyzed.

Class III malocclusion presents many challenges due to its varying elements of imbalance in skeletal, dental, and soft tissues. This necessitates a comprehensive treatment plan, including growth modification during the pre-pubertal growth phase, and long-term retention to reduce the chances of orthognathic surgery later. The components of Class III malocclusion include maxillary retrognathism, mandibular prognathism, or, in some cases, a combination of both.

Objectives: To compare presurgical skeletal factors and postsurgical relapse patterns between more relapsed (MR) and less relapsed (LR) groups.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively examined patients who underwent mandibular setback surgery, classifying them into two groups based on the amount of relapse of the pogonion using K-means analysis. Comparisons were conducted by analyzing cephalometric radiographs presurgically (T0), at 1-month post-surgery (T1), and immediately after orthodontic treatment (T2).

Article Synopsis
- * Results show that the maxillary anterior segment mostly moves backward with minor upward movement, while soft tissue changes include significant posterior movement in the upper lip and subnasal area, along with increases in the nasolabial angle and nasal height.
- * The findings suggest that the posterior shift of the maxillary segment can effectively reduce upper lip protrusion with minimal impact on nasal shape, indicating that the position of the maxillary teeth is crucial for achieving desired aesthetic outcomes.
