Orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusions using skeletal anchorage: A bibliographical review.

AIM: To summarize scientific articles relating to orthopedic treatment using skeletal anchorage for Class III malocclusions in 2016.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Exhaustive bibliographical research on PubMed with the following keywords "bone OR skeletal-anchored maxillary protraction".

RESULTS: Twenty-one articles were noted between March 2008 and August 2015. Eleven were original articles with clinical series. Two reviews of the literature, two technical, two focus articles, three clinical cases and one animal study were also published.

DISCUSSION: This is the first genuinely orthopedic technique for this indication, and it may in the medium term avoid recourse to a surgical-orthodontic protocol. However, its use is compromised by the ignorance of practitioners and operators, patient refusal to accept general anesthesia and less-than-perfect materials.
