The Early Intervention of a Class III Malocclusion With an Anterior Crossbite Using Chincup Therapy: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Class III malocclusions with anterior crossbites pose significant challenges in orthodontic treatment, especially in growing children. This case report details the early intervention of a 12-year-old patient presenting with a Class III malocclusion characterized by an anterior crossbite and mandibular prognathism. A chincup was employed to inhibit mandibular growth and encourage maxillary development. Consistent use of the chincup, with regular follow-ups and adjustments, led to significant improvements. The anterior crossbite was corrected, resulting in a Class I molar relationship and an improved facial profile. The maxillary arch perimeter increased, providing space for the eruption of canines and premolars. This case demonstrates that early intervention with a chincup can effectively manage Class III malocclusion with an anterior crossbite, highlighting the importance of timely orthodontic assessment and treatment to achieve stable, long-term results.
