Objective We aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of maxillary protraction on maxillary maldevelopment using Coben analysis to illustrate the advantages of Coben analysis in identifying pathogenic mechanisms and in designing treatment plans for Class III malocclusions. Methods A total of 120 patients were diagnosed to have skeletal Class III malocclusions with maxillary maldevelopment. These patients were selected as the subjects of the present research. Maxillary protraction was exerted to promote maxilla growth. Cephalometric analysis was conducted by using Coben analysis and angle analyses of Beijing Medical University to collect data before and after maxillary protraction. Results According to Coben analysis measurements, the height of facies cranii increased after maxillary protraction. The depth of lower face decreased, whereas that of mid-face increased and the Ptm-A value increased significantly in the mid-face (P<0.001). In the angle analysis of Beijing Medical University, SNA, ANB, Ul/NA, Ul/SN, MP/SN, and Y-axis angles increased significantly (P<0.001), whereas SNB, Ul/L l (P<0.001), and Ll/MP (P<0.05) decreased. Conclusion Maxillary protraction has a significant effect on growing skeletal Class III malocclusions with the chief mechanism of Ptm-A value just diagnosed as minor by Coben analysis. Coben analysis is visual and clear in identifying pathogenic mechanisms of Class III malocclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
