Clinical Trial: Comparison of Ertty Gap III and Facemask Therapy for Skeletal Class III Correction

U.S., Aug. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07771660) titled 'Comparison of Ertty Gap III and Facemask Therapy for Skeletal Class III Correction' on Aug. 11.

Brief Summary: This clinical study compared two orthopedic treatment approaches for growing patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion associated primarily with maxillary deficiency: the Ertty Gap III appliance and facemask therapy. Participants assigned to active treatment received either Ertty Gap III or facemask therapy, while an untreated historical Class III group was used as a reference for growth-related changes.
