  • Title: Treatment outcome for a sample of patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion treated at a regional hospital orthodontic department.
    Author: Burden DJ, McGuinness N, McNamara T.
    Journal: J Ir Dent Assoc; 1998; 44(3):67-9. PubMed ID: 9863439.
    Abstract:
    This retrospective study assessed the outcome of orthodontic treatment of 264 patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion (overjet greater than 6 mm). The sample comprised patients who had completed their fixed appliance orthodontic treatment at a regional hospital orthodontic unit in the Republic of Ireland. The PAR Index (Peer Assessment Rating) was used to evaluate treatment outcome using before and after treatment study casts. The results revealed that treatment for this particular type of malocclusion was highly effective with a very few patients failing to benefit from their orthodontic treatment.
