Gutta-percha cones are generally not recommended for root canal filling in primary teeth because the root canals of primary teeth are more likely to contain vital tissue, and the material can potentially cause harm to these tissues. However, they are suitable for permanent teeth with wide root canals and even those with curved roots, provided that the root canals are properly cleaned and shaped to allow for optimal filling.

Pierre-Robin syndrome does NOT typically present with Class III malocclusion. Instead, it is characterized by micrognathia (underdeveloped mandible) leading to Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrusion. Cleft palate, cleidocranial dysplasia, and craniofacial dysostosis (Crouzons syndrome) can all present with Class III malocclusion due to maxillary hypoplasia or relative mandibular prognathism in these conditions.
