Min Aims:To investigate the differences in morphological characteristics of borderline class III patients who had undergone camouflage orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery, and to compare the treatment effects between these two modalities. Materials and Methods: Cephalograms of 25 patients (13 orthodontic, 12 surgical) with class III malocclusion were analyzed. All had a pretreatment ANB angle greater than -5º. Results: Using discriminant analysis, only Holdaway angle was selected to differentiate patients in the pretreatment stage. Seventy-two per cent patients were correctly classified. In the orthodontic group, reverse overjet was corrected by retraction of the lower incisors and downward and backward rotation of the mandible. The surgical group was corrected by setback of the lower anterior dentoalveolus and uprighting of the lower incisors. No difference was found in posttreatment soft tissue measurements between the two groups. Conclusions: Twelve degree for the Holdaway angle can be a guideline in determining the treatment modalities for borderline class III patients, but the preferences of operators and patients are also important. (2) Both therapeutic options should highlight changes in the lower dentoalveolus and lower incisors. (3) Both treatment modalities can achieve satisfactory improvements to the people. 3 8 2008 38 48 TODENTJ-2-38 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2007-10-22 2008-2-1 2008-3-8 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210600802010038 1553504987 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/2/PAGE/38/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-38/TODENTJ-2-38.xml Graber TM, Vanarsdall RL, Vig KWL.
