of the pretreatment (T1), posttreatment (T2), and long term (T3) lateral
cephalometric and the hand-wrist radiographs of 13 patients (5 females, 8 males;
mean chronological age: 11.1±1.40 years) with skeletal and dental Class III
malocclusion treated with DPA-FM combination. The mean DPA-FM treatment time
was 10.8±1.88 months. The hand-wrist growth and developmental stages were MP3u
or Ru at T3. The mean follow-up period was 5.0±1.98 years. Friedman’s Two-Way
ANOVA and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to evaluate the treatment
(T2-T1), follow-up (T3-T2) and overall (T3-T1) results. </span> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </b> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us">Results: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica, ’sans-serif’;" xml:lang="en-us">With
