Mandibular position in class III malocclusion

WJ Kerr and TR TenHave
Glasgow Dental Hospital and School.

Lateral skull radiographs of 66 subjects with Class III malocclusion, characterized by lingual occlusion of the upper incisors and a degree of overbite, taken before and after treatment were compared with a Control Group of similar mean age and interval between films. Vertical, Horizontal and Oblique measurements were made to establish the part played by overclosure and anterior displacement of the mandible in the aetiology of Class III malocclusion. The results suggest that both may play a part but that the former is of more general significance than the latter.
