In growing patients with Class III malocclusion and midfacial deficiency, the treatment protocol calls for orthopedic maxillary protraction and clinicians choose the facemask therapy generally. But facemask is not esthetic or comfortable to patients because it should be worn extraorally. Consequently it is difficult to obtain patients cooperation, and this often influences the treatment effects negatively. MTA (modified tandem appliance), that is a small intraoral appliance, is carried conveniently and esthetic relatively. So it seemed more patient-friendly than a facemask. While the treatment effect of this is similar to that of a facemask. This report presents skeletal Class III malocclusion two cases treated by MTA with good results.

The purpose of this study was to detect out the changes occured during orthodontic treatment. The sample was consisted of 77 orthodontic patients. For this study 13 linear lengths and arch area were measured in maxilla, mandible respectively and were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows 1 The sequence of changes in the form and dimensions of dental arches following orthodontic treatment was as follows Class I malocclusion, Class III malocclusion, Class II malocclusion. 2 Changes in the form and dimensions of dental arches were greater in extraction cases than those of non-extraction cases 3 In comparison with maxilla and mandible on the amount of changes following orthodontic treatment in each malocclusion group, significant differences were greatest in class III malocclusion 4 In comparison with maxilla and mandible on the amount of changes following orthodontic treatment in extraction and non-extraction cases, significant differences were greater in extraction cases than those of non-extraction cases 5. The amount of changes during orthodontic treatment in extraction and non-extraction cases in male was not different from female's.

Childrens between the ages of 13 and 15 years, living in Seoul, were examined in order to determine the prevalence and severity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition. This survey encompassed 981 children and an individual chart was prepared for each subject recording an original HMAR score and classification of occlusion according to Angle. Also, subjective evaluation of "treatment needs" was carried out in 581 children. The results were as follows: 1. Of the 981 children in this survey, 12,1 percent showed excellent occlusion. (0 point) 2. The 14 percent of the children who had a score of 24 and above all appeared to belong to the "treatment highly desirable" or "treatment mandatory" category. 3. The incorporation of SAR (Supplementary Assessment Record) into the HMAR can provide more sensitive method for evaluating severity of malocclusion. 4. According to Angle's classification 77.4 percent of all malocclusion belonged to Class I, 1.3 percent to Class II, Division 1, 0.9 percent to Class II, Division 2, and 11.3 percent to Class III. 5. The mean HMAR score for Class I was significantly lower than for either Class II, Division 1 or Class III. (P < 0.05) 6. A close relationship was found between the degree of "treatment needs" and the value obtained by the HMAR scoring. (chi-square test, p < 0.05) The differences between the mean HMAR scores of the various subjectively defined categories were statistically significant. (P < 0.001)

Skeletal Class III malocclusion is a relatively common form of malocclusion in Korea. In borderline cases where only mild skeletal discrepancy exists and if worsening of the facial profile is expected as a result of premolar extraction, mandibular full arch distalization with miniscrews is the treatment of choice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of tooth movement and evaluate the stability of mandibular full arch distalization and to identify correlation between stability and factors such as initial skeletal pattern, dental changes during treatment and alveolar bone in symphysis region using lateral cephalograms.

Objective: This study compared occlusal contact areas of ideally planned set-up and accomplished final models against the initial in class I and II molar relationships at finishing. Methods: Evaluations were performed for 41 post-orthodontic treatment cases, of which 22 were clinically diagnosed as class I and the remainder were diagnosed as full cusp class II. Class I cases had four first premolars extracted, while class II cases had maxillary first premolars extracted. Occlusal contact areas were measured using a three-dimensional scanner and RapidForm 2004. Independent t-tests were used to validate comparison values between class I and II finishings. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare initial, set up, and final models. Results: Molars from cases in the class I finishing for the set-up model showed significantly greater contact areas than those from class II finishing (p < 0.05). The final model class I finishing showed significantly larger contact areas for the second molars (p < 0.05). The first molars of the class I finishing for the final model showed a tendency to have larger contact areas than those of class II finishing, although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.078). Conclusions: In set-up models, posterior occlusal contact was better in class I than in class II finishing. In final models, class I finishing tended to have larger occlusal contact areas than class II finishing.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of facemask therapy, which was anchored from the zygomatic buttresses of the maxilla by using two miniplates, in skeletal Class III patients with maxillary deficiency. Methods: Eighteen skeletal Class III patients (10 girls and 8 boys; mean age, $11.4{\pm}1.28$ years) with maxillary deficiency were treated using miniplate-anchored facemasks, and their outcomes were compared with those of a Class III control group (9 girls and 9 boys; mean age, $10.6{\pm}1.12$ years). Two I-shaped miniplates were placed on the right and left zygomatic buttresses of the maxilla, and a facemask was applied with a 400 g force per side. Intragroup comparisons were made using the Wilcoxon test, and intergroup comparisons were made using the Mann-Whitney U-test (p < 0.05). Results: In the treatment group, the maxilla moved 3.3 mm forward, the mandible showed posterior rotation by $1.5^{\circ}$, and the lower incisors were retroclined after treatment. These results were significantly different from those in the control group (p < 0.05). No significant anterior rotation of the palatal plane was observed after treatment. Moreover, changes in the sagittal positions of the maxillary incisors and molars were similar between the treatment and control groups. Conclusions: Skeletally anchored facemask therapy is an effective method for correcting Class III malocclusions, which also minimizes the undesired dental side effects of conventional methods in the maxilla.

본 연구는 성장기 II급 부정교합자를 골격 형태에 따라 분류하여 액티베이터 사용 효과를 비교, 분석하고 그 결과를 진단, 치료 계획 수립 등 임상 과정에 연계시키기 위해 시행되었다. 실험은 수완부 방사선 사진상 Fishman 분류의 2, 3, 4 단계로 최대성장기 이전의 II급 부정교합자를 대상으로 하였다. 대조군은 ANB 3도 이상이며 악정형 장치 치료를 받지 않고 치열교정 치료만 받은 환자로 총 25명(남자 15명, 여자 10명)이고 실험군은 액티베이터 치료를 받은 환자로 총 116명(남자 53명, 여자 63명)이었다. Articular angle과 gonial angle을 이용하여 골격 형태를 hyperdivergent type과 hypodivergent type으로 분류하여 액티베이터 치료효과를 비교한 결과 hypodivergent한 골격 형태를 가진 환자에서 더 큰 효과를 보였다. 따라서 성장기 II급 부정교합자의 진단과 치료계획 수립 시 안모의 골격 형태 분류를 통해 액티베이터의 효과를 예측할 수 있다고 생각한다.
