Impact of Camouflage Treatment with Class III Elastics on Temporomandibular Joint and Dentoskeletal Relationships: A Pilot CBCT and MRI-Based Clinical Trial.

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
Objective: Orthodontic camouflage effectively addresses mild to moderate skeletal Class III malocclusion by repositioning the mandible and anterior teeth. However, recent findings suggest potential temporomandibular joint (TMJ) impact of the intermaxillary elastics frequently used in this treatment. This study aims to comprehensively assess changes in the TMJ and dentoskeletal relationship following Class III camouflage treatment, using a combination of CBCT and MRI. Methods: This clinical trial enrolled skeletal Class III malocclusion patients meeting eligibility criteria. Non-extraction camouflage treatment was administered, employing the straight wire technique with conventional Class III intermaxillary elastics. CBCT and MRI were conducted at baseline (T0) and after achieving normal occlusion (T1). Condylar position in three dimensions and dentoskeletal relationship were assessed from CBCT images using Dolphin Results: The dataset comprised nine subjects, with a mean age of 24.3±7.0 years. CBCT analyses indicated significant changes in dentoskeletal relationship, especially those of the mandible (increased ANB 2.32±0.51°, increased SN-MP 2.61±1.05°, decreased profile angle 5.40±1.07°), but nonsignificant changes in condylar position post-treatment (0.11±0.15 mm). Similarly, MRI measurements demonstrated non-significant changes in both position (0.91±1.61°) and length (0.07±0.37 mm) of the articular disc post-treatment. Conclusion: Class III camouflage treatment using conventional intermaxillary elastics significantly improves the dentoskeletal relationship without significant adverse effects on the condyle and articular disc of the TMJ.
