Long term patient and orthodontist satisfaction with non surgical correction of severe class II division 1 malocclusions

Hechler, Paul Joseph 01 January 2019 (has links)
Background: The correction of Class II malocclusions is one of the most common treatments performed in the United States. Despite Class II malocclusions being one the most commonly presented problems for orthodontists, there is no consensus of which non-surgical treatment modality best impacts a patient’s quality of life long term. Purpose: This study examines the different non-surgical treatment approaches for patients with severe Class II division 1 and the impact of treatment outcomes on patient satisfaction and quality of life long term. Study Design: This study retrospectively analyzed the different treatment approaches and outcomes of class II division 1 with severe overjet, while prospectively assessing patient satisfaction and quality of life long term. Initial and final cephalometric and clinical variables for 83 patients (38 at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, 30 at the University of Iowa, and 15 in private practice in Iowa) treated non-surgically were recorded and analyzed. A retention clinical exam, at least 6 months post-debond, was done for final measurements, assessment of practitioner and patient satisfaction, and patient quality of life questionnaires. Results: Non-surgical treatment of severe Class II division 1 malocclusions yielded 5.54 mm overjet reduction and 0.51 mm of relapse in retention on average. Patients with more overjet at their long term retention check demonstrated significantly poorer satisfaction scores with the appearance of their bite (p<0.001), the appearance of their face (p<0.001), and with their overall orthodontic treatment (p<0.001). Extraction treatment was associated with significantly lower patient satisfaction scores of overall orthodontic treatment (p=0.023) and appearance of bite (p=0.018) but not facial appearance. Patients treated with extractions also showed higher QOL scores on the OHIP-14 (p=0.022) and CPQ (p=0.002) surveys, indicating that extraction therapy of severe Class II division 1 patients led to a significantly poorer quality of life. Conclusion: Non-surgical treatment of severe Class II division 1 malocclusions can yield excellent results and stability long term. Overjet can be dramatically reduced with non-surgical treatment but there is a tendency for overjet to relapse in retention. While treatment outcomes yielded high results of patient satisfaction, patients with more overjet in retention displayed significantly less satisfaction of the appearance of their bite, appearance of their face, and with their overall orthodontic treatment. Extraction treatment was associated with significantly lower patient satisfaction scores of overall orthodontic treatment and appearance of bite but not facial appearance. Patients treated with extractions showed poorer quality of life scores in retention compared to those treated nonextraction.

Houve uma significativa diminuição do ANB pelo Bionator, mas a desejável ação de projeção mandibular não foi estatisticamente significante. Apesar de ter havido significativo aumento do comprimento mandibular, este foi contraposto pela rotação para posterior da mandíbula. Houve também restrição do crescimento maxilar horizontal, e estabilidade ântero-posterior da cavidade glenóide. Parece não haver indicação para o uso sistemático do aparelho Bionator, devendo sua utilização ser restrita a casos de maior retrusão mandibular, planejando-se a reversão dos efeitos de rotação mandibular, para se utilizar o crescimento extra condilar no aumento da protusão da mandíbula. / The effect of Bionator appliance in treatment of the malocclusion Class II division 1 was evaluated, with special emphasis to alterations in mandible. Lateral cephalograms (124) of 62 individuals with Class II division 1 malocclusion were available, being 27 male and 35 female, divided in two groups of 31.

The other group was used as control, didn't receive treatment, it was observed by 1,5 years on average, with initial age 8,68 years old. For each individual, lateral cephalograms were obtained in the beginning and at the end of the observation. The cephalometric variables were measured and submitted to the statistical treatment. The results demonstrated that the correction of the class II division 1 malocclusion was due, mainly, to dental alterations promoted by Bionator, representing 71.31% of the molar correction 79,64% of the overjet correction. There was a significant decrease of ANB angle with Bionator, but the desirable action of increase in mandibular protusion was no stastistically significant. In spite of having significant increase of the mandible length, this was opposed by the back rotation of the jaw. There was restriction of the horizontal maxillary growth, and antero-posterior stability of the glenoid fossa. It seems there is no indication for the systematic use of the Bionator, having its use to be restricted to cases of larger mandibular retrusion, being planned the reversion of the mandibular rotation, to use the extra condilar growth to the increase of the mandibular protusion.

Cephalometric analysis of adolescents with severe Class II Division 1 malocclusions treated surgically and non-surgically

Brady, Patrick 01 May 2016 (has links)
Introduction: Class II Division 1 malocclusions are characterized by a retrusive mandible and prominent upper incisors. Despite Class II malocclusions being one of the most frequently treated cases in orthodontists' office, there is no uniform consensus in the orthodontic community on the best treatment modality and biomechanical approach to use in treating patients with Class II malocclusions. Purpose: This paper examines the end-of-treatment outcomes of severe Class II Division I malocclusion patients treated with surgical versus non-surgical approaches. Study Design: This is a retrospective study of consecutively treated severe Class II Division I patients at the University of Iowa. Initial and deband lateral cephalometric radiographs were compared between 45 non-surgical and 21 surgical patients. All patients that were debanded between the ages of 13 to 19 years were included. Multivariable regression analyses were used to examine differences in outcomes between treatment groups. Results: Following adjustment for patient level confounders (age, gender, and race), those treated surgically had better end of treatment cephalometric outcomes. Those treated surgically had a more balanced skeletal profile, greater reduction in overjet, and improvement in ANB angle (p Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment in conjunction with orthognathic surgery is a more ideal treatment for patients with severe Class II Division I malocclusion. When treated surgically, a greater amount of overjet can be reduced while keeping lower incisors in a more stable position in bone.

A radiographic comparison of the proclination of mandibular incisors between Class II extraction and non-extraction cases using the Damon® self-ligating system

Walton, Leeren January 2021 (has links)
Magister Chirurgiae Dentium - MChD / The stable position of the mandibular incisors, and the extent to which their spatial position may be changed in the sagittal plane, represents a key point in determining orthodontic treatment goals and objectives. According to the equilibrium theory, the mandibular incisors lie in a narrow zone of stability that is governed by pressure from the lips, cheek, tongue and periodontium. Proclining the mandibular incisors more than 2 mm leads to instability because of an increase in lip pressure. The magnitude of incisor proclination therefore determines aesthetics, stability and function.

Comparison of surgical and non-surgical orthodontic treatment approaches on occlusal and cephalometric outcomes in patients with severe Class II division I malocclusions

Daniels, Sheila Meghnot 01 May 2017 (has links)
This study aimed to examine end-of-treatment outcomes of severe Class II Division I malocclusion patients treated with surgical or non-surgical approaches. This study tests the hypotheses that occlusal outcomes (ABO-OGS) at end of treatment will be similar while cephalometric outcomes will differ between these groups. A total of 60 patients were included: 20 of which underwent surgical correction and 40 of which did not. The end of treatment ABO-OGS and cephalometric outcomes were compared by Mann-Whitney U tests and multivariable linear regression models. Following adjustment for multiple confounders (age, gender, complexity of case, and skeletal patterns), the final deband score (ABO-OGS) was similar for both groups (23.8 for surgical group versus 22.5 for non-surgical group). Those treated surgically had a significantly larger reduction in ANB angle, 3.4 degrees reduction versus 1.5 degrees reduction in the non-surgical group (p=0.002). The surgical group also showed increased maxillary incisor proclination (p=0.001) compared to candidates treated non-surgically. This might be attributed to retroclination of incisors during treatment selection in the non-surgical group – namely, extraction of premolars to mask the discrepancy. Studies such as this are necessary because they begin to give practitioners view of not only the outcomes of a single treatment plan, but a comprehensive approach by providing evidence of the over-arching treatment used for successful treatment in both groups.

Os pacientes tratados tinham entre 7 e 10 anos de idade, leucodermas, portadores de mordida aberta anterior, má oclusão de Classe II divisão 1 com tendência a crescimento vertical e apresentavam implantes metálicos na maxila e mandíbula, conforme proposto por Bjork15 (1955), sendo utilizado para comparação um grupo de pacientes com má oclusão Classe II divisão 1 de Angle, sem tratamento e em igual número, do Burlington Growth Center, Departamento de Ortodontia da Faculdade de Odontologia, Universidade de Toronto, Canadá. Foram realizadas radiografias cefalométricas em norma lateral iniciais e após 1 ano de tratamento no grupo experimental e no grupo controle as radiografias foram tomadas aos 6, 9 e 12 anos de idade. Os traçados foram escaneados e dezenove pontos cefalométricos marcados no programa Radiocef Studioâ, aonde foram traçadas linhas, planos e realizadas as medidas cefalométricas tradicionais e as utilizando os pontos fiduciais. A análise dos dados obtidos mostrou que o uso do aparelho extrabucal de Thurow modificado resultou em acentuada rotação horária do plano palatino e rotação anti-horária da linha de implante maxilar, enquanto que o efeito do crescimento natural havia sido de leve rotação horária da linha de implante e estabilidade do plano palatino; o padrão de rotação mandibular decorrente do crescimento natural mostrou tendência de rotação anti-horária e no grupo experimental houve aumento desse padrão; e em relação ao plano oclusal, houve aumento da inclinação do plano oclusal superior e diminuição na inclinação do plano oclusal inferior.

The treated patients had from 7 to 10 years old, were leucoderm and presented an anterior openbite and a Class II division 1 malocclusion with a vertical growth pattern. In all of the patients there were metallic implants inserted in the maxilla and mandible, as proposed by Björk15 (1955). An equivalent control group of Class II division 1 patients with no treatment was used and collected at the Burlington Growth Center, Orthodontic Department of the Dental School, University of Toronto, Canada. Lateral cephalometric radiographs at the onset and after an one year treatment were taken for the experimental group, and at the ages of 6, 9 and 12 years for the control group. The tracings were scanned, 19 cephalometric points, being 6 fiducial ones, were identified by the use of Radiocef Studio ® software, lines and planes were traced, and cephalometric measurements were performed. The data obtained showed that the use of the modified Thurow appliance resulted into great clockwise rotation of the palatal plane and counterclockwise rotation of the maxillary implant line, while the natural growth effect was of slightly clockwise rotation of the implant line and stabilization of the palatal plane; the mandibular rotational pattern showed a tendency of counterclockwise rotation in the non treated patients and in the experimental group there was an increase in this pattern, and in relation to the oclusal plane, there was an increase in the tipping of the upper oclusal plane and decrease of the lower oclusal plane. It can be concluded that the use of the modified Thurow appliance resulted into correction of the Class II open bite malocclusion by a clockwise rotation of the palatal plane, counterclockwise...

Orientador: Ary dos Santos-Pinto / Banca: Terumi Okada Ozawa / Banca: Roberto Hideo Shimizu / Banca: Lídia Parsekian Martins / Banca: Luiz Gonzaga Gandini Jr. / Resumo: A deficiência de dados na literatura nos levou a avaliar o efeito do tratamento com o aparelho bionator de Balters no perfil facial de crianças com má oclusão Classe II, divisão 1 de Angle, excluindo as mudanças que ocorreriam com o crescimento natural. A amostra consistiu de telerradiografias de pacientes leucodermas com idades entre 6 anos e 11 meses e 11 anos e 2 meses, divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos. Um grupo controle, composto por 11 pacientes acompanhados sem tratamento por 1 ano, e um grupo experimental, composto por 12 pacientes acompanhados durante 1 ano de tratamento, sendo que oito desses pacientes foram avaliados no 2º ano de tratamento. A seleção da amostra teve como critérios de inclusão a presença dos incisivos centrais e laterais permanentes erupcionados ou em erupção, sobremordida e sobressaliência aumentadas e ausência de apinhamento dentário e alteração transversal dos arcos. A análise cefalométrica constou de medidas tradicionais angulares e lineares, esqueléticas, dentárias e de tecidos moles, além da verificação do deslocamento individual dos pontos do perfil facial em coordenadas x e y. A aplicação do teste de Levene mostrou evidências estatísticas de semelhança inicial entre os grupos. Procedeu-se então a análise estatística que mostrou alterações significantes (p<0,05) nas variáveis indicativas de convexidade esquelética, espessura dos lábios e comprimento do lábio inferior, além de aumento da altura facial esquelética e tegumentar. Por outro lado, não foi significante a alteração na convexidade tegumentar e comprimento do lábio superior nos pacientes tratados. Pode ser concluído com base nos resultados encontrados que o uso do bionator teve efeito favorável na alteração do perfil facial, principalmente na região de lábios e na altura facial. / Abstract: Literature deficiency has led us to evaluate the changes on soft-tissue profile of Class II division 1 children induced by the use of Balters bionator appliance, excluding the changes that would occur with normal growth. The sample consisted of lateral radiographies of leucoderm children from 6 years and 11 months to 11 years and 2 months, randomly divided into two groups. The control group was formed by 11 patients followed with no treatment during one year, and the experimental one was composed by 12 children, accompanied for 1 year, but eight of these patients were also evaluated 2 years after the treatment onset. The inclusion criteria were the central and lateral permanent incisors erupted or into eruption, increased overjet and overbite, and no crowding or transverse problems in the dental arches. The cephalometric analysis consisted of angular and linear skeletal, dental and soft-tissue traditional measurements as well as the verification of the individual dislocation of the soft-tissue points in x and y coordinates. Levene's test application showed statistical evidence of similarity between the groups on the beginning of the research. The statistical analysis showed significant alterations (p<0,05) of either skeletal convexity, width of upper and lower lips, and lower lip length, or skeletal and soft-tissue vertical height. On the other hand, there was no significant change on soft-tissue convexity and upper lip length in the treated patients. It can be concluded that the use of bionator had a favorable effect on soft-tissue profile, especially on lips and vertical facial height. / Doutor

Estudo longitudinal comparativo cefalométrico das mudanças dento-esqueléticas observadas no tratamento e pós-tratamento (Herbst e aparelho ortodôntico fixo pré-ajustado) de adolescentes com má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 1ª e retrognati / Longitudinal comparative chephalometric study of dento-skeletal changes observed during and after the treatment (Herbst and pre-adjusted fixed appliance) in adolescents with Class II, division 1 malocclusion and mandibular retrognathism

Vigorito, Fábio de Abreu 15 June 2012 (has links)
O Objetivo neste estudo prospectivo foi avaliar as mudanças dento-esqueléticas decorrentes do tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II e retrognatismo mandibular, realizado em duas fases de tratamento (ortopédica com aparelho de Herbst e ortodôntica com aparelho fixo pré-ajustado). As telerradiografias em norma lateral, de 17 adolescentes brasileiros consecutivos, foram obtidas no início (T1), final da FASE ORTOPÉDICA (T2), primeiros 13 meses da FASE ORTODÔNTICA (T3) e término da FASE ORTODÔNTICA (T4). As diferenças entre as variáveis cefalométricas (análise de Pancherz) foram analisadas estatisticamente. Os resultados mostraram que de T1 a T4, do total da projeção para anterior da maxila, 42% aconteceram de T1 a T2, 40,3% de T2 a T3 e 17,7% de T3 a T4. 48,2% do crescimento mandibular expressaram-se de T1 a T2 e 51,8% de T2 a T4, no entanto com desaceleração do crescimento de T2 a T3, para logo retomar um crescimento significativo, expressando os 36,7% até T4. A relação molar de classe II e o aumento da sobressaliência que apresentavam os pacientes no início do tratamento foram corrigidos idealmente. Em T4, todos exibiam oclusão normal estável, com boa relação molar e sobressaliência adequada, atingindo os objetivos do tratamento. O plano oclusal que de T1 a T2 sofreu rotação horária, de T2 a T3 retornou às características iniciais, que se mantiveram estáveis até T4. A inclinação do plano mandibular, que descreve o tipo facial, não sofreu alterações em nenhum tempo de observação. Com base nestes resultados pode-se concluir que as mudanças caracterizaram diferencialmente as duas fases de tratamento, sendo que na fase I houve um maior incremento do crescimento mandibular e mudanças dentárias que sobrecorrigiram a má oclusão. A recidiva parcial das mudanças dentárias observada na fase II, não comprometeu as metas ideais do tratamento. O tipo facial foi preservado. / The aim of this prospective study was to assess the dento-skeletal changes in the treatment of Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion with mandibular retrognathism, realized in two phases (Phase I: Herbst appliance, Phase II: pre-adjusted fixed appliance). Lateral cephalograms of 17 consecutively adolescents were taken at the beginning (T1), at the end of the ORTHOPEDIC FASE (T2), first thirteen months of the ORTHODONTIC FASE (T3) and at end of the ORTHODONTIC FASE (T4). Differences among the cephalometric variables (Pancherz analysis) were statistically analyzed. The results exhibited that from T1 to T4 from the overall maxillary forward growth, 42% happened from T1 to T2, 40,3% from T2 to T3 and 17,7% from T3 to T4. From the overall mandibular forward movement, 48,2% happened from T1 to T2 and 51,8% from T2 to T4, meanwhile with growth slowdown from T2 to T3. The molar Class II relation and the excessive overjet were ideally corrected. At T4, all patients showed stable normal occlusion reaching the objectives of the treatment. The oclusal plane, that from T1 to T2 rotated clock-wise, from T2 to T3 returned to the initial position and remain stable until T4. Mandibular plane inclination, that caracterizes facial type, did not change at any time during the treatment. Based on these results it can be concluded that the changes characterized differently each phase of the treatment: during Phase I there were larger increase of mandibular growth and dental changes that overcorrected the malocclusion. The partial relapse observed in Phase II of treatment did not jeopardize the ideal goals of the treatment. The facial type was preserved.

Neste estudo prospectivo foram avaliadas as mudanças dento-esqueléticas decorrentes do tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 1ª de Angle e retrognatismo mandibular, realizado em duas fases de 12 meses (fase I com aparelho de Herbst e fase II com aparelho ortodôntico fixo pré-ajustado). As telerradiografias em norma lateral, de 20 adolescentes consecutivos, obtidas em três tempos (T1: início, T2: após a fase I de tratamento realizado com aparelho de Herbst e T3: 12 meses pós-Herbst), foram traçadas manualmente, segundo proposto por Pancherz, e analisadas estatisticamente. Os resultados mostram que de T1 a T2 tanto a maxila quanto à mandíbula projetaram-se para anterior; porém com maiores incrementos na mandíbula, permitindo um ajuste esquelético sagital; os incisivos superiores retroinclinaram e os inferiores vestibularizaram; os molares superiores distalizaram e os inferiores mesializaram e a sobressaliência diminuiu. De T2 a T3, a maxila projetou-se para anterior e a mandíbula apresentou um incremento menor; os incisivos superiores não sofreram mudanças de inclinação e os inferiores lingualizaram; os molares superiores e os inferiores mesializaram e a sobressaliência sofreu um pequeno aumento. Comparando T1 a T3 observou-se correção da má oclusão, com melhora das relações dentárias e esqueléticas. Com base nestes resultados pode-se concluir que as mudanças caracterizaram diferencialmente as duas fases de tratamento, sendo que na fase I houve um maior incremento do crescimento mandibular e mudanças dentárias que sobrecorrigiram a má oclusão. A recidiva parcial das mudanças observada na fase II, não comprometeu as metas ideais do tratamento. O tipo facial foi preservado. / This prospective study assessed the dento-skeletal changes of two-phases treatment of Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion with mandibular retrognathism, realized in two phases of 12 months each (Phase I: Herbst appliance, Phase II: pre-adjusted fixed appliance). The cephalo-lateral radiographs, of 20 consecutively adolescents taken at three different times (T1: outset of treatment, T2: after the Phase I of treatment with Herbst appliance and T3: twelve months post-Herbst treatment), were measured manually according to Pancherz?s method and evaluated statistically. The results exhibited that from T1 to T2 both maxilla and mandible grew forward, although with major increments in the mandible, allowing a sagittal skeletal adjustment. The upper incisors retroclined and the lower incisors proclined; the upper molars moved distally and the lower molars moved mesially and the overjet decreased. The T2-T3 outcomes revealed forward movement of the maxilla and mild mandibular increases. The upper incisors? inclination did not change and the lower incisors retroclined, the upper and lower molars moved mesially and the overjet had a small increase. The T1-T3 results showed correction of the malocclusion with improvement of the dental and skeletal relationship. Based on these results it can be concluded that the changes characterized differently each phase of the treatment: during Phase I there were larger increase of mandibular growth and dental changes that overcorrected the malocclusion. The partial relapse observed in Phase II of treatment did not jeopardize the ideal goals of the treatment. The facial type was preserved.
