Comparison of AdvanSyncTM and intermaxillary elastics in the correction of Class II malocclusions: A cephalometric study / Comparison of AdvanSyncTM and Intermaxillary Elastics in the Correction of Class II Malocclusions: A Cephalometric StudyJayachandran, Santhosh 13 June 2016 (has links)
Objectives: To compare the skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue effects of the AdvanSyncTM appliance with intermaxillary elastics in the correction of Class II malocclusions in growing patients.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using lateral cephalograms of patients taken pre-treatment (T1) and post-comprehensive orthodontic treatment (T2). 41 patients consecutively treated with AdvanSyncTM were compared to 41 similar patients treated with intermaxillary Class II elastics. All patients had significant growth potential during treatment, as assessed by cervical vertebral maturation. A comparison group was generated from historical databases and matched to the experimental groups for skeletal age, gender and craniofacial morphology. Treatment changes were evaluated between the time points using a custom cephalometric analysis generating 31 variables as well as regional superimpositions. Data was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey-Kramer tests.
Results: The effects of AdvanSyncTM and fixed orthodontics (T2-T1) included maxillary growth restriction, protrusion, proclination and intrusion of mandibular incisors as well as mesialization of mandibular molars (p<0.01). The effects of Class II elastics and fixed orthodontics were similar to AdvanSyncTM, with the exceptions of less maxillary growth restriction and greater retrusion and retroclination of maxillary incisors (p<0.01). Significant mandibular growth stimulation, relative to untreated controls, did not occur with either modality.
Conclusion: AdvanSyncTM and intermaxillary elastics were effective in normalizing Class II malocclusions during comprehensive fixed orthodontics. AdvanSyncTM produced its effects through maxillary skeletal growth restriction and mandibular dentoalveolar changes. Class II elastics worked primarily through dentoalveolar changes in both the maxilla and mandible. / October 2016

Comparative study of the effects of the fixed functional appliances forsus fatigue resistant device and MARA in treatment of class II malocclusion through lateral cephalograms analysis / Estudo comparativo dos efeitos dos aparelhos propulsores mandibulares forsus fatigue resistant device e mandibular anterior repositioning appliance (MARA) no tratamento da má oclusão de classe II através de análises cefalométricasNogueira, Cinthya Quagliato 31 January 2019 (has links)
Introduction: Since the success of treatment through removable appliances depends mostly of patient cooperation, functional fixed appliances have been widely used in treatment of Class II malocclusion for a huge number of professionals. Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device and to compare the findings with a well-matched group treated with the Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance (MARA) for the correction of Class II malocclusion, and to compare with an untreated Class II malocclusion control group. Methods: The Forsus group was composed of 14 patients. The MARA group was comprised of 18 patients. The untreated control group was composed of 14 patients. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken of each subject at the pretreatment (T1) and posttreatment (T2). Posttreatment changes were calculated as T1-T2. Intergroup comparisons regarding treatment changes were performed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukeys test. Results: During treatment, the Forsus group showed statistically significant decrease of maxillary protrusion and maxillomandibular sagittal discrepancy in relation to the control group. The MARA group showed statistically significant greater retrusion of maxillary incisors in relation to the Forsus and the control group. Overjet decreased significantly more in the treated groups in relation to the control group. The molar relationship improved significantly more in both treated groups, and both showed more correction than did the untreated control group. Conclusion: The Forsus and MARA associated with fixed appliances effectively correct the Class II malocclusion, mostly by means of dentoalveolar changes and maxillary growth restraint. / Introdução: O sucesso do tratamento da má-oclusão de Classe II com aparelhos funcionais removíveis depende principalmente da cooperação do paciente, portanto, aparelhos funcionais fixos têm sido amplamente utilizados por um grande número de profissionais. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos do aparelho Forsus e comparar os achados com um grupo tratado com o aparelho MARA, comparando-os com um grupo controle de Classe II não tratada. Métodos: O grupo Forsus foi composto por 14 pacientes. O grupo MARA foi composto por 18 pacientes. O grupo controle foi composto por 14 pacientes. Telerradiografias em norma frontal foram tiradas de cada indivíduo no estágio pré-tratamento (T1) e pós-tratamento (T2). Alterações pós-tratamento foram calculadas como T1-T2. Comparações intergrupo em relação às alterações de tratamento foram realizadas utilizando ANOVA seguido de teste Tukey. Resultados: Durante tratamento, o grupo Forsus demonstrou maior diminuição da protrusão maxilar e da discrepância maxilo-mandibular sagital em relação ao grupo controle. O grupo MARA demonstrou maior retrusão de incisivos superiores em relação aos outros grupos. O overjet diminuiu estatisticamente mais nos grupos tratados do que no grupo controle. Houve melhora na relação molar em ambos os grupos tratados do que o grupo controle. Conclusão: O Forsus e o MARA associados ao aparelho ortodôntico fixo são eficazes no tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II, principalmente por alterações dentoalveolares e restrição de crescimento maxilar.

Avaliação cefalométrica comparativa dos efeitos do aparelho de protração mandibular em adultos e adolescentes / Mandibular protraction appliance (MPA) effects in adolescents and adults: a cephalometric comparisonFurquim, Bruno D'Aurea 09 February 2009 (has links)
Este estudo retrospectivo teve como objetivo comparar os efeitos esqueléticos, dentários e tegumentares do tratamento com Aparelho de Protração Mandibular (APM) em conjunto com o aparelho fixo em pacientes adolescentes e adultos com má oclusão de Classe II. A amostra foi composta por telerradiografias pré e póstratamento de 23 adolescentes (idade inicial média de 11,75 anos) e de 16 adultos (idade inicial média de 22,41 anos). Testes t (P < 0,05) foram empregados para comparação dos grupos. Os adultos apresentaram menor quantidade de alterações esqueléticas. Com relação às alterações dentárias, os adultos apresentaram menor inclinação lingual dos incisivos superiores; menor extrusão dos incisivos inferiores; menor extrusão dos molares superiores e inferiores; menor mesialização dos molares inferiores; e menor retrusão do lábio superior em comparação aos adolescentes. / The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue effects of the Mandibular Protraction Appliance (MPA) treatment in adolescent and adult Class II malocclusion patients. The sample comprised pretreatment and posttreatment cephalograms of 23 adolescents (mean pretreatment age 11.75 years) and 16 adults (mean pretreatment age 22.41 years). The groups were compared with t tests, at P < 0.05. The amount of skeletal changes was smaller in the adult group. Adults showed smaller maxillary incisors lingual tipping, mandibular incisor and molar and maxillary molar extrusion and mandibular molar mesialization. Additionally, adults also showed greater upper lip retrusion as compared to adolescents.
