Three-dimensional evaluation of facial attractiveness of skeletal Class II patient: comparative analysis after orthodontic and surgical simulations.
Article in Dental press journal of orthodontics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the perception regarding the attractiveness of the face in patients with skeletal Class II and simulations of possible treatments for this condition.
methodsDental scans, face scans and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of a male patient were used. These images were grouped in a software, where the original file was edited in order to achieve a profile that had the most pronounced skeletal and dental Class II (division 1) features, as well as the different proposed treatments: Compensatory orthodontics with extraction of the maxillary first premolars; Compensatory orthodontics associated with surgical advancement of the chin; and Orthodontics associated with combined orthognathic surgery of the maxilla, mandible and counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane. These simulations were presented in the form of videos and accompanied by a questionnaire regarding the attractiveness.
resultsThe videos were analyzed by 275 evaluators: 109 orthodontists, 91 oral and maxillofacial surgeons and 165 laypersons. The collected data were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's t tests, with a significance level of 95%. Individuals with higher levels of education were more rigorous in their aesthetic evaluation, but the most attractive face for all groups was achieved by orthodontic preparation associated with combined orthognathic surgery, while the least attractive was skeletal Class II without treatment.
conclusionsThis study indicate that the face resulting from a skeletal Class II is aesthetically unfavorable and the treatments generate better aesthetic results, especially the orthodontic preparation associated with combined orthognathic surgery.
