Title

Management of patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion -  ‘sense and nonsense’ 

Abstract

In the management of patients with Class III malocclusion the orthodontists might consider various opinions and options of management. The options comprise observation,  if treatment - when to treat, growth modification, camouflage treatment, and orthognathic surgery. A number of other questions related to Class III malocclusion will be addressed, such as diagnosis, prevalence, quality of life, treatment outcome etc. The lecture, based on current literature, is aiming at a critical evaluation on management of skeletal Class III.
