Three Dimensional Position of Condyle Following Face Mask Therapy in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Objective: (1) To evaluate position of condyle following face mask therapy using MRI imaging in growing skeletal Class III malocclusion (2) To evaluate position of condyle following face mask therapy using CBCT in growing skeletal Class III malocclusion (3) To evaluate position of condyle following face mask therapy using various articulators (Fully adjustable/ Semi adjustable articulators) Material and Methods: All skeletal Class III malocclusion growing patients underwent Face mask therapy. Data bases like Google scholar, PubMed, Science direct, Cochrane, Lilac data base retrieved studies. Results: All patients showed change in condylar position Conclusion: Condyle changes to posterior and superior after face mask therapy due to bone remodeling at glenoid fossa
