Factors of efficiency in the early treatment of Class III malocclusion

Growth in untreated Class III malocclusion: implications for therapy

• Growth trends in the untreated Class III subjects
  
• Growth and orthopedic treatment: the role of the pubertal growth spurt on the long-term stability of treatment outcomes
  

Evidence-based orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion: RME/FM protocol

• Clinical management of the treatment and retention protocols
  
• Fundamental clinical rules for favorable outcomes of orthopedic treatment
  
• Long-term stability (8.5 years from the end of orthopedic treatment)
  
• The role of treatment timing based on the assessment of the morphology of the zygomatico-maxillary sutures
  

Identification of good and bad responders toorthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion

• How to assess individual responsiveness to RME/FM treatment
  
• The predictive value of individual craniofacial features
  
• What to do in bad responders
  
• Orthopedic approach versus surgical approach
  

New frontiers in the orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion

• Rapid maxillary expansion and constriction protocol prior to maxillary protraction: an effective pathway for enhanced correction
  
• Bone-anchored maxillary protraction vs classical
  

RME/FM therapy

• Indications for early surgery in Class III patients
