[Pseudo Class III: diagnosis and therapeutic planning].
In this study clinical diagnostic elements essential in pseudo-Class III malocclusion have been taken under consideration. First of all have been analysed the main etiopathogenetic factors which are the causes of an anomalous development of the Maxillo Facial Complex and peculiarly of mandibular pseudo prognathism. The clinical variants of the malocclusion have been pointed out and they are: the true prognathism, the occlusal or dental one, and the pseudo Class III malocclusion. The Authors therefore, describe principal procedures to treat the malocclusion with orthodontic and functional appliances. Two cases are presented for this kind of malocclusion treated with the various orthodontic techniques on the ground of the different kinds of clinical variants.
