Measurement of soft tissue profile changes as a result of placement of orthodontic brackets

Kebert, Michele 12 March 2008 (has links)
ABSTRACT This research report quantifies the soft tissue profile changes that occur as a result of the placement of orthodontic brackets. It also assesses whether patients are able to perceive any changes in their own profiles immediately post bonding. Using a standardised photographic technique, profile photographs were taken of a group of patients both before and immediately after the placement of orthodontic brackets. A series of angular and linear measurements were made each on the photographic images using a computer software program. The data obtained from the ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs were then compared. Patients were also asked several standard questions about their ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs. The results indicate that the placement of orthodontic brackets can cause changes in the soft tissue profile of patients. Statistically significant changes were found for four of the ten profile measurements that were investigated, namely the Nasolabial Angle, the Maxillo-Mandibular Contour, the Interlabial Angle and the Lower Lip Projection. It was also found that patients are able to perceive changes in their profiles brought about by the placement of orthodontic brackets, and that most are able to correctly recognise which photograph was taken after bracket placement. The majority of patients prefer the photographs of their profiles taken before bracket placement. This study was conducted using a standardised orthodontic bracket. Future research may be carried out to compare profile changes occurring with other bracket systems. This may assist manufacturers in designing brackets that are more comfortable and acceptable for patients.

Influence of facial profile on social perceptions: a 3D video imaging study.

Babb, Lisa 29 April 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of facial convexity on the perception of social attributes in a young adult population. Nine models were asked to pose for a 3 dimensional photograph that was then modified to represent ideal, retrognathic, and prognathic facial convexity angles. Survey evaluators were shown digital videos of models with ideal and non-ideal profiles and asked to rate their perception of the following 4 social attributes: intelligence, athleticism, popularity, and leadership ability using a visual analog scale. Results gathered from 271 evaluators showed that the model images with ideal facial convexity angles were rated higher on average than the same model images with retrognathic and prognathic profiles. The differences in ratings between ideal and non-ideal profiles were significant for intelligence (P = 0.0009), athleticism (P = 0.0002), and leadership ability (P = 0.0008). Differences in perceived popularity (P = 0.2169) showed no significant differences among facial convexities.

\"Estudo cefalométrico-radiográfico das mudanças no perfil tegumentar de pacientes com maloclusão de classe I tratados com extrações de primeiros premolares\" / Cephalometric radiographic study of soft tissue profile changes in Class I patients after orthodontic treatment with first premolars extractions

Missaka, Milton 15 March 2007 (has links)
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar um estudo cefalométrico radiográfico com o propósito de avaliar as mudanças no perfil tegumentar do terço inferior da face em casos com maloclusões de Classe I, biprotrusos, tratados ortodonticamente com extrações de quatro premolares, por meio da técnica do arco contínuo preconizada por Roth. A amostra constou de 56 radiografias cefalométricas de 26 pacientes leucodermas chilenos, com média de idade de 19,56 + 5,71 anos tomadas ao início e ao término do tratamento. Foram mensuradas as variações na espessura e comprimento do perfil tegumentar, bem como as alterações posturais anteroposteriores dento-alveolares e tegumentares ocorridas. Foram realizadas comparações entre os valores iniciais e finais e correlações entre as variações das grandezas analisadas por meio de análises estatísticas. Após análise dos resultados concluiu-se que, após a retração dos dentes anteriores, a espessura do lábio superior apresentou aumento na sua porção basal e na região do vermelhão labial, enquanto que sua porção intermediária não apresentou variação estatisticamente significante. No lábio inferior, somente a espessura do vermelhão do lábio inferior apresentou aumento significativo. O comprimento total do lábio superior também apresentou aumento estatisticamente significante, enquanto que no comprimento do lábio inferior não foi observado aumento significante. Os lábios superior e inferior sofreram retração estatisticamente significante e o movimento de retração do vermelhão do lábio superior correlacionou diretamente com o movimento do incisivo superior, tanto em nível incisal (0,33:1), como em nível coronário (0,57:1), assim como o movimento de retração do sulco do lábio superior que correlacionou diretamente com o movimento do incisivo superior, tanto em nível incisal (0,26:1) como em nível coronário (0,42:1). O movimento de retração do vermelhão do lábio inferior correlacionou diretamente não só com o movimento da incisal do incisivo inferior (0,54:1) como também com o movimento do incisivo superior tanto em nível incisal (0,57:1), como em nível coronário (0,85:1). Não se constatou correlação entre a alteração postural dos lábios e as alterações tegumentares de espessura e comprimento em todas as variáveis estudadas, exceto a variação do ângulo mentolabial que correlacionou com a variação do comprimento da base do lábio inferior. Essas duas variáveis, no entanto, não apresentaram alterações significativas. / The purpose of this prospective cephalometric study was to evaluate soft tissue profile changes in biprotrusive Class I patients treated with first premolars extractions and maximum anchorage control. The sample was composed of 52 lateral cephalometric roentgenogram from the beginnig and end of treatment of 26 white chilean patients (18 females and 8 males) with age average of 19,56 + 5,71 years old, treated with Roth straight-wire technique. Linear and angular cephalometric values in relation to thickness, lengths, lips posture, convexity of the skeletal and integumental profile, as well as incisors and alveolar profile points posture were evaluated. After statistical analysis, the results showed that upper lip thickness increased in the vermillion and basal area. Lower lip thickness also increased in the vermillion area. Upper lip total length increased while lower lip showed no change in its length. The retraction of the lips as well as the incisors were significant. Upper incisor retraction correlated with upper lip vermillion retraction at the incisor border (0,33 mm :1 mm) and at the crown level (0,57 mm : 1mm). Likewise it was verified with the upper lip sulcus (point A?), that retracted on a proportion of 0,26 mm : 1mm at the upper incisor border level and 0,42 mm : 1 mm at the crown level. Lower lip vermillion retraction correlated with lower incisor retraction at the incisor border level (0,54:1) as well as with upper incisor retraction at the incisor border (0,57:1) and at the crown level (0,85:1). Lip postural changes did not correlated with lip length or thickness changes except lower lip basal length that correlated with the increase of mentolabial angle.

Mudanças no perfil facial de crianças com má oclusão classe II, divisão 1 decorrentes do crescimento normal e induzidas pelo bionator de Balters /

Melo, Ana Cláudia Moreira. January 2003 (has links)
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

Perception of Differences in Lip Profile between 2-D and 3-D

Hansen, Andrew 01 January 2016 (has links)
Past studies evaluating the esthetics of orthodontic treatment have been done using 2-D images. New 3-D imaging offers an improved, real-life representation of a subject. The purpose of this study was to determine how laypeople perceived differences in lip position (flat versus ideal lip fullness) in 2-D compared to 3-D. 3dMD images of 8 Caucasian subjects were adjusted to an ideal and flat lip position in 3-D and then in 2-D from the profile view. 2 surveys were created with paired ideal and flat images on the screen, either in 2-D or 3-D, and evaluators were asked to choose which image they preferred and by how much. Evaluators were more likely to be neutral, and were less decisive of their preference in 3-D compared to 2-D. People might be less sensitive to small differences in facial soft tissue and esthetics than previous research in 2-D has led orthodontists to believe.

\"Estudo comparativo da cefalometria do perfil tegumentar com base na análise facial de Arnett relacionada à horizontal verdadeira com a realizada a partir do plano de Frankfurt horizontal\" / A comparative study of the cephalometric of the soft tissue profile based on Arnett´s facial analysis in relation to the true horizontal as this has been put into practice starting from the Frakfurt horizontal plane.

Sousa, Cláudia Maria Romano de 23 March 2007 (has links)
Nesta pesquisa foi comparada a diferença das medidas obtidas utilizando-se a análise cefalométrica do perfil tegumentar tendo como base a análise facial de Arnett relacionada à Horizontal Verdadeira com a análise cefalométrica do perfil tegumentar feita a partir do Plano de Frankfurt. Utilizamos 140 radiografias cefalométricas requisitadas como parte de documentação ortodôntica, obtidas de pacientes com idade variando de 06 a 49 anos, sendo 64 do sexo masculino e 76 do sexo feminino, pertencentes ao arquivo do IOM - (Instituto de Odontologia Multidisciplinar) ? RJ. As radiografias cefalométricas em norma lateral foram obtidas pelo mesmo operador, obedecendo ao protocolo adotado pelo IOM. Todos os pacientes foram orientados a assumir a Posição Natural da Cabeça, tendo como referência um espelho posicionado a frente e a Linha Vertical Verdadeira foi obtida por meio da utilização de um fio metálico unido à um prumo de chumbo, posicionado próximo à margem anterior do chassi porta-filme, de forma que apareça à frente do perfil tegumentar do paciente. A partir das medidas lineares obtidas nas Análises Cefalométricas dos Tecidos Moles, foram realizadas análises estatísticas visando dois objetivos: comparar as medidas de A à I obtidas nos traçados (um utilizando como referência uma perpendicular ao Plano Horizontal de Frankfurt e o outro à Linha Vertical Verdadeira) e analisar os resultados comparativamente. Após a análise estatística (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, para distribuição normal de dados; t-Student para amostras emparelhadas e teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon) e a interpretação dos resultados obtidos, concluímos que houve diferenças significantes entre as formas de medidas das variáveis A, B, C, D, F, G e I, pois o valor do nível descritivo (p-valor) se apresentou abaixo de 0,05. Entretanto para as medidas E e H o valor do nível descritivo (p-valor) se apresentou maior que 0,05, demonstrando não haver diferenças significantes entre as formas dessas medidas. As correlações entre as medidas apresentadas estabelecidas pela análise facial de Arnett, de acordo com este estudo, não deverão ser utilizadas em pacientes que se submeteram à radiografias cefalométricas realizadas a partir do Plano Horizontal de Frankfurt, salvo no caso da distância interlabial, representada pela medida H, que além de não apresentar diferenças significantes neste estudo, não tem, segundo a análise de Arnett, correlação com nenhuma outra medida. / In this research a comparison was made between the differences in measurements obtained using the soft tissue profile?s cephalometric analysis based on Arnett?s facial analysis related to the true vertical with the cephalometric analysis of soft tissue profile based on the Frankfurt Plan. A total of 140 lateral cephalometric radiographs were used as part of the orthodontic documentation, taken from patients whose ages ranged from 06 to 49 years of age, of these 64 males and 76 females, being part of the files of the IOM (Instituto de Odontologia Multidisciplinar do Rio de Janeiro). The lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained from the same operator obeying the protocols adapted by the IOM. All patients were oriented to place themselves in the Natural Head Posture using, as a reference, a mirror in front of then and the true vertical line was obtained using a metal wire and a plumb-line, placed close to the frontal chassis of the film chamber, in such a way that it appears in front of the soft tissue profile of the patient. Parting from the lineal measurements obtained from the Cephalometric Analyses of the Soft Tissues statistical analyses were made relating to two objectives: to compare the measurements from A to I obtained from the drafts/ sketches (one using as it reference a perpendicular to the Frankfurt Horizontal Plane and the other the True Vertical Line), comparatively analyse these results. After the statistical analysis (Kolgomorov Smirnov) for a normal data distribution: t-student for matched pairs and the no-parametric Wilcanox test) and the analysis of the results obtained, it was concluded that there were significant differences between the forms of the measurements of the variables A, B, C, D, F, G and I since the descriptive value (p-value) was below 0,05. The measurements for E and H, however, being over 0,05, showing than there were no significant differences between these forms of measurement. The correlation between the demonstrated measurements established by Arnett?s facial analysis, in accordance with this study, should not be used in patients who have undergone lateral cephalometric radiograph initiated on the basis of the Frankfurt Horizontal Plane except in the case of interlabial distance represented by the measurement H, which even differences in this study, does not have, according to Arnett?s studies, correlations with any other measurements.

Soft tissue profile changes in patients treated with non-extraction versus second premolar extraction protocols - using the Damon system

Julyan, Johan Christian January 2018 (has links)
Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) (Orthodontics) / Orthodontic treatment has the ability to improve the aesthetics and the function of patients. In order to create space, orthodontic treatment often requires removal of teeth. The most common teeth removed for orthodontic treatment are the premolars. It has become popular to remove second premolars in certain cases where the soft tissue profile should not be altered. The Damon self-ligating orthodontic system is renowned for not requiring dental extractions in the majority of cases. The effect of extractions on the soft tissue profile of patients, in conjunction with using the Damon system, has therefore not been researched. It is important to understand the effect that orthodontic treatment and extractions can have on the soft tissue profile of patients. This effect can accurately be determined by making use of the soft tissue cephalometric analysis, developed by Dr Reed A. Holdaway in 1983.

Malocclusions in relation to facial soft tissue characteristics, facial aesthetics and temporomandibular disorders in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966

Krooks, L. (Laura) 23 October 2018 (has links)
Abstract Epidemiological studies on malocclusions in Finland have so far concentrated on children and adolescents. Regarding the Finnish adult population, there is scarce epidemiological knowledge available on malocclusions even though the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment has increased during the last decades. Occlusion is an important factor in the function of the masticatory system, and its role in the aetiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is one of the most disputed topics in dentistry. Malocclusions can affect the characteristics of the facial soft tissue profile. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of malocclusions and the role of occlusion in TMD as well as the association of facial characteristics with malocclusions and facial aesthetics. The study population consisted of subjects from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966). Data were collected using questionnaires, standardized clinical examination and facial photos. The profile photographs were analysed using linear and angular soft tissue cephalometric measurements. The most common malocclusion in the NFBC1966 subjects was lateral crossbite. This study showed a significant association between asymmetric malocclusions and TMD. TMD signs associated significantly with lateral crossbite, scissors bite, negative overjet, and the length and lateral deviation in slide between retruded contact position and intercuspal position (RCP-ICP). Soft tissue profile characteristics were highly correlated with negative overjet. The ANB-angle was significantly associated with the perception of facial attractiveness. In conclusion, malocclusions were associated with signs and symptoms of TMD in the Finnish adult population. Overjet appeared to affect the facial profile more than overbite. Facial convexity seemed to be a more important determinant of facial aesthetics for orthodontists than for dentists and laypersons. / Tiivistelmä Suomalaiset epidemiologiset tutkimukset purennan poikkeamista ovat tähän asti keskittyneet tarkastelemaan lapsia ja nuoria. Tarkkaa epidemiologista tietoa suomalaisen aikuisväestön purennan poikkeamista on tällä hetkellä saatavilla vain niukasti, vaikka oikomishoitoon hakeutuvien aikuispotilaiden määrä on Suomessa viime vuosina lisääntynyt. Purennalla on tärkeä merkitys purentaelimistön toiminnassa ja sen rooli purentaelimistön toimintahäiriöiden (TMD) etiologiassa on yksi kiistanalaisimpia aiheita hammaslääketieteessä. Purennan poikkeamat voivat vaikuttaa myös kasvojen pehmytkudosprofiilin piirteisiin. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää purennan poikkeamien esiintyvyyttä ja tutkia kasvojen piirteiden yhteyttä purennan poikkeamiin sekä kasvojen estetiikkaan. Lisäksi tutkittiin purennan poikkeamien yhteyttä TMD:hen. Tutkimusjoukko koostui Pohjois-Suomen syntymäkohortti 1966 -tutkimukseen osallistuneista. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin kyselomakkeiden, standardoidun kliinisen tutkimuksen ja kasvovalokuvien avulla. Profiilivalokuvien analysointi perustui pehmytkudoksen kefalometrisiin lineaari- ja kulmamittauksiin. Tässä tutkimuksessa yleisin purennan poikkeama oli sivualueen ristipurenta. Asymmetriset purennan poikkeamat olivat merkittävästi yhteydessä TMD:hen; erityisesti sivualueen ristipurenta, saksipurenta, negatiivinen horisontaalinen ylipurenta sekä nivelaseman ja keskipurennan (RCP-ICP) välisen liu’un pituus ja sivuttainen deviaatio. Negatiivisen horisontaalisen ylipurennan todettiin vaikuttavan voimakkaasti kasvojen profiiliin. ANB-kulma oli merkitsevästi yhteydessä kasvojen arvioituun viehättävyyteen. Purennan poikkeamilla näyttää olevan yhteys TMD:n oireisiin ja kliinisiin löydöksiin suomalaisessa aikuisväestössä. Horisontaalinen ylipurenta näyttää vaikuttavan kasvojen profiiliin enemmän kuin vertikaalinen ylipurenta. Kasvojen kuperuus painottuu enemmän oikomishoidon erikoishammaslääkärien näkemyksessä kasvojen estetiikasta hammaslääkäreihin ja maallikoihin verrattuna.
