چکیده
Various dental and basal deviations may result in a Class II malocclusion. Mandibular retrusion is common finding [3], as are pronounced overjet and prominent maxillary incisors with incomplete lip closure. Pronounced overjet and incomplete lip closure has been shown to increase the risk for dental trauma [4]. Recent Cochrane review reported that early treatment with a functional appliance achieved a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of incisal trauma [2]. This finding has however been further discussed due to a high degree of uncertainty [5]. Also Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) has claimed to be associated with Class II malocclusions [6] but the effect treatment of Class II malocclusions may have on development of TMD is insufficient [7].
