TREATMENT OF A CHALLENGING MALOCCLUSION. NEW FRONTIERS OF CLASS III TREATMENT Dr. TIZIANO BACCETTI, DDS, PhD

Dr. TIZIANO BACCETTI, DDS, PhD

Why a new course on Class III treatment in 2010?
New knowledge about growth trends in untreated Class III subjects
New treatment protocols
New evaluation of treatment results at the completion of craniofacial growth

Long term outcomes of the RME and Facial Mask protocol for Class III malocclusion re-evaluated at the completion of growth.
Treatment and retention in the RME/FM treatment protocol
The stability of Class III correction at a young adulthood observation (average interval of 7 years after the completion of orthopedic therapy)
Does the RME/FM therapy of Class III malocclusion impact the size of the airways?

Identification of the bad/good responders for RME and Facial Mask therapy
Prediction of treatment outcomes
The predictive value of individual craniofacial morphology
What to do in severe “bad responders”?

Treatment approaches to the severe Class III malocclusion (“bad responders” to classical orthopedic treatment)
The outcomes of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP)
Alternative expansion protocol before the use of the Facial Mask
Comparison between the effects of BAMP and of classical RME/FM therapy
The possible role of early orthognathic surgery (surgery at the adolescent growth spurt) in growing Class III patients
