Skeletal Class III malocclusion is a dentofacial deformity characterized by maxillary deficiency, mandibular prognathism, or a combination of both, leading to an anteroposterior skeletal discrepancy between the jaws. This condition may be associated with functional problems, altered occlusion, and facial aesthetic concerns.. Malocclusion, Angle's class III
Conditions
Interventions
In this study, the therapeutic intervention consists of orthognathic surgery. The intervention group includes 17 patients who are referred to Farhikhtegan Hospital for orthognathic surgery during the

Eligibility
Sex/Gender
All
Age
20 Years to 30 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion diagnosed based on cephalometry and clinical examination (normally SNB ˜ 80° ± 2° and SNA ˜ 82° ± 2°) No history of previous orthognathic surgery Patients who are not currently undergoing orthodontic treatment Age 20-30 years
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Insufficient quality of radiographs or imaging records for performing measurements. Presence of systemic disease (such as diabetic patients or any patients with bone disorders) and severe infection Patients with open bite (i.e., lack of vertical overlap of the upper and lower anterior or posterior teeth, confirmed by clinical examination (measuring overbite with a ruler and checking contacts during functional shift) and diagnostic records) are excluded from the study Individuals with Vertical Maxillary Excess (VME) are excluded from the study. VME is associated with a gummy smile. Excluding these patients increases the homogeneity of the sample and the accuracy of analyzing vertical angles such as FH-MP or N-Me
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This study aims to evaluate skeletal changes of the jaws following orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Timepoint: Maximum 6 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and lateral cephalometry images with cephalogram. | — |
