Inheritance of Class III Soft Tissue Facial Features from Parents to Offsprings Using Photogrammetric Analysis Technique

The results of this study simplify the orthodontic treatment planning in subjects having class III malocclusion in terms of predicting the course of facial growth from parents. Such prediction can guide in forecasting the treatment outcome in complex malocclusion like class III. The results of this study revealed various parameters which are less heritable, having lesser genetic component, and mostly influenced by environment which can be modified through orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, thereby having lesser chances of relapse. The results of this study can also be utilized in the field of plastic surgery and forensic science. How to cite this article: Arshad F, Prashanth CS, ShashiKumar HC, <i>et al</i>.
