Effect of Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery on Pharyngeal Airway Volume / Efecto de Cirugía Ortognática Bimaxilar en el Volumen de la Vía Aérea Faríngea

SUMMARY: Subjects with maxillary skeletal classes II and III not only express alterations in the hard and soft maxillofacial tissues, but also in the morphology and dimensions of the upper airway. A small space in the upper airway has been associated with sleep disorders, such as snoring and mainly obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Consequently, interest has increased due to the influence of orthognathic surgery in the airway space. Although there are studies in the literature that have compared upper airway spaces, most have evaluated the changes using two-dimensional images, mainly lateral skull X-rays. The present study aimed to determine the airway volume in subjects with skeletal classes II and III who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. 80 CBCT exams from 40 subjects obtained before and 6 months after surgery were used. There were 20 class II and 20 class III subjects. For the volumetric analysis, a 3D rendering of the upper airway was made in previously established segments, and then the airway volume was calculated using the 3D Slicer® software version 4.11 (Slicer, USA). The statistical analysis by t-test of related samples revealed statistically significant volumetric increases in the nasopharynx, laryngopharynx, and total volume in class II patients. However, in class III patients, there were significant increases in the nasopharynx and total volume, while the volume was maintained in the oropharynx and laryngopharynx.

Sujetos con clases esqueletales II y III maxilares, no solamente expresan alteraciones en los tejidos duros y blandos maxilofaciales, sino también en la morfología y dimensiones de la vía aérea superior. Un espacio reducido a nivel de la vía aérea superior se asocia a trastornos del sueño como ronquidos y principalmente el síndrome de apnea/hipoapnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS); debido a esto, ha aumentado el interés por la influencia de la cirugía ortognática en el espacio de la vía aérea. Si bien existen en la literatura estudios que han comparado los espacios de la vía aérea superior, la mayoría de los estudios han evaluado los cambios utilizando imágenes bidimensionales, principalmente radiografías laterales de cráneo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el volumen de la vía aérea en sujetos con clases esqueletales II y III sometidos a cirugía ortognática bimaxilar. Se utilizaron 80 exámenes CBCT pertenecientes a 40 sujetos obtenidos previo a la cirugía y 6 meses después de realizada. Veinte sujetos clase II y 20 clase III. Para el análisis volumétrico se realizó un renderizado 3D de la vía área superior en segmentos previamente establecidos y posteriormente se calculó el volumen de dicha vía aérea con la utilización del software 3D Slicer ®versión 4.11 (Slicer, USA). El análisis estadístico realizado por t-test de muestras relacionadas, arrojó en pacientes clase II aumentos volumétricos estadísticamente significativos en nasofaringe, laringofaringe y volumen total. Mientras que en pacientes clase III, se observó aumentos significativos en Nasofaringe y volumen total y mantención de volumen en orofaringe y laringofaringe.

Análisis bidimensional de la permeabilidad de vías aéreas con el tamaño de senos maxilares y su relación con el desarrollo de la clase esqueletal en una población mexicana / Two-dimensional analysis of airway permeability with maxillary sinus size and its relationship with the development of skeletal class in a Mexican population

Comparar la permeabilidad de las vías aéreas y el tamaño de los senos maxilares en relación con la clase esqueletal. se midieron 90 radiografías lateral de cráneo, divididas en 3 grupos, comparando las 3 clases esqueletales, las cuales se determinaron con la medida ANB de Steiner, y estas a su vez en dos subgrupos que fueron hombres y mujeres, en las cuales se utilizó el análisis de McNamara para el análisis de vías aéreas y para el área del seno maxilar se tomaron dos medidas una antero-posterior y cefálica-caudal. Al comparar los hombres con las mujeres se identificó significancia estadística en vía área superior de clase II (p=≤0.017), vía aérea inferior de clase III (p=≤0.006). Al comparar las clases esqueletales en hombres se identificó diferencias en la vía aérea superior en las clases I vs III (p=≤0.05), inferior en la clase I vs III (p=≤0,001) y II vs III (p=≤0.044). Con respecto a mujeres se identificó significancia en la vía aérea superior al comparar la clase I vs II (p=≤0,043), vía aérea inferior en la clase II vs III (p=≤0.05), longitud del seno maxilar al comparar clase I vs II (p=≤0.017). Entre la clase I esqueletal y la clase II, el tamaño de los senos maxilares resulto menor en longitud en las mujeres de clase II esqueletal. Entre la clase I y clase III esqueletal en hombres, se encontró una longitud menor en la vía aérea superior e inferior en la clase I. Las vías aéreas resultaron en menor tamaño en sujetos de clase II.

SUMMARY: To compare the airway permeability and the size of the maxillary sinuses in relation to the skeletal class. 90 lateral skull radiographs were divided into 3 groups, comparing the 3 skeletal classes, which were determined with Steiner's ANB measurement, and these were once in two subgroups that were men and women, in any McNamara analysis was used for the analysis of airways and for the maxillary sinus area measurements were made an antero-posterior and cephalic-caudal. When comparing males with females, statistical significance was identified in the upper class II route (p=≤0,017), lower class III airway (p=≤0.006). At least skeletal classes in men, differences were identified in the upper airway in classes I vs III (p=≤0.05), lower in class I vs III (p=≤0.001) and II vs III (p=≤0.044). With respect to women, significance was identified in the upper airway when comparing class I vs II (p=≤0.043), lower airway in class II vs. III (p=≤0.05), maxillary sinus length to class I vs II (p=≤0.017). Between skeletal class I and class II, maxillary sinus size was shorter in length in skeletal class II women. Between class I and skeletal class III in men, a lower length was found in the upper and lower airways in class I. The airways were found to be smaller in class II subjects.

Mandibular advancement with clear aligners and functional appliances in the treatment of skeletal ClassⅡmalocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis / 华西口腔医学杂志

OBJECTIVES@#This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of the efficacy of mandibular advance clear alig-ners with traditional functional appliances as the control group.@*METHODS@#PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Biomedical Abstracts Database, China Knowledge Network Database, Wanfang Database, and Weipu Database were used in this study. The two groups of researchers screened the literature and extracted data based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria established by PICOS entries, and used the ROBINS-I scale for quality evaluation. Revman 5.4 and Stata 17.0 software were used for meta-analysis.@*RESULTS@#Nine clinical controlled trials were included in this study with a total sample size of 283 cases. No significant difference was found in SNA, SNB, ANB, Go-Pog, U1-SN, Overjet, and other aspects between the invisible group and the traditional group in the treatment of skeletal class Ⅱ ma-locclusion patients; there was a 0.90° difference in mandibular plane angle between the two groups; the growth of the mandibular ramus (Co-Go) in the traditional group was 1.10 mm more than that in the invisible group; the lip inclination of the lower teeth in the invisible group was better controlled, 1.94° less than that in the control group.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The invisible group can better control the lip inclination of the mandibular anterior teeth when guiding the mandible. Furthermore, the mandibular plane angle (MP-SN) can remain unchanged, but the growth of the mandibular ramus is not as good as the traditional group, and auxiliary measures should be taken to improve it in clinical practice.

Decompensation effectiveness and alveolar bone remodeling analysis of mandibular anterior teeth after preoperative orthodontic treatment in high-angle patients with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the decompensation effectiveness and alveolar bone remodeling of mandibular anterior teeth after preoperative orthodontic treatment in high-angle patients with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion using lateral cephalogram and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).@*METHODS@#Thirty high-angle patients with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion who had received preoperative orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between Ja-nuary 2017 and August 2022 and had taken lateral cephalogram and CBCT before and after preoperative orthodontic treatment were selected. Items were measured with lateral cephalogram including: The lower central incisor (L1)-Frankfort plane angle (L1-FH), the L1-mandibular plane angle (L1-MP), the L1-nasion-supramental angle (L1-NB) and the vertical distance from the incisal edge of lower central incisor to NB line (L1-NB distance), etc. The incidence of dehiscence/fenestration and the length of dehiscence at labial side (d-La) and lingual side (d-Li) were measured using CBCT. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between the changes of d-Li of L1 and age, duration of preoperative orthodontic treatment and the cephalometric measurements before preoperative orthodontic treatment to screen out risk factors affecting the periodontal risk of preoperative orthodontic treatment in high-angle patients with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusions.@*RESULTS@#After preoperative orthodontic treatment, L1-FH, L1-MP, L1-NB and L1-NB distances changed by 11.56°±5.62°, -11.13°±5.53°, -11.57°±5.43° and (-4.99±1.89) mm, respectively, and the differences were all statistically significant (P < 0.05). Among the 180 measured mandibular anterior teeth, 45 cases with labial dehiscence/fenestration before preoperative orthodontic treatment (T0) had no longer labial dehiscence/fenestration after preope-rative orthodontic treatment (T1); 142 cases without lingual dehiscence/fenestration at T0 had lingual dehiscence/fenestration at T1. After preoperative orthodontic treatment, the d-La of lower lateral incisors (L2), lower canines (L3) and lower anterior teeth (L1+L2+L3) decreased by (0.95±2.22) mm, (1.20±3.23) mm and (0.68±2.50) mm, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the d-Li of L1, L2, L3 and L1+L2+L3 increased by (4.43±1.94) mm, (4.53±2.35) mm, (3.19±2.80) mm and (4.05±2.46) mm, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The increase of d-Li of L1 was positively correlated with L1-FH (r=0.373, P=0.042).@*CONCLUSION@#This study showed that high-angle patients with skeletal class Ⅱ ma-locclusion could achieve ideal decompensation effect of mandibular anterior teeth after preoperative orthodontic treatment with bilateral mandibular first premolars extracted, but the lingual periodontal risk of mandibular anterior teeth was increased. This risk could be correlated to L1-FH before preoperative orthodontic treatment, which should be paid more attention in the design of orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment.

Tratamiento de Clase II, en dentición permanente, con péndulum Pend-X y anclaje esqueletal / Class II treatment, in permanent dentition, with Pend X and skeletal anchorage

El aspecto estético y, en especial, la protrusión marcada, a menudo alientan a los pacientes a so- licitar tratamiento de ortodoncia. El ortodoncista debe decidir, de acuerdo a las características biotipológicas del caso, qué solución es la más conveniente. El presente artículo describe el tratamiento de una paciente adolescente con una maloclusión de Clase II, división 1, en dentición permanente, braquifacial y que, además, presenta estrechez del maxilar superior. Atender en primer término el problema en el plano transversal es de vital importancia, pero asimismo, se debe planificar cómo corregir la Clase II y, si la distalización es el procedimiento indicado para tratarla, el verdadero reto es no perder anclaje. Se presenta un caso clínico tratado con aparato- logía fija y péndulum versión Pend-X (con tornillo de expansión transversal) y anclaje esqueletal(AU)

Aesthetic appearance, and especially marked protrusion, often encourage patients to request orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist must decide, according to biotypological characteristics of the case, which solution is the most convenient. This article describes the treatment of a teen patient with a Class II division 1 malocclusion, in permanent dentition, brachifacial and who also presents narrowness of upper jaw. Addressing the problem in the transverse plane first is of vital importance, but also, it must be planned how to correct Class II, and if distalization is the appropriate procedure to treat it, the real challenge is not to lose anchorage. It is presented a clinical case treated with fixed appliances and pendulum Pend-X version (with a transversal expansion screw) and skeletal anchorage(AU)

Orthodontists' preferences in the use and timing of appliances for the correction of malocclusions in growing patients / Preferencias de los ortodoncistas en el uso y momento oportuno de uso de aparatos para la corrección de maloclusiones en pacientes en crecimiento

Objective: To evaluate orthodontists' preferences in the use and timing of appliances for the correction of Class II and Class III malocclusions in growing patients and the sociodemographic factors that influence these preferences. Material and Methods: Active members of the Colombian Orthodontics Society (SCO) were invited to complete a previously validated survey on the use of Class II and Class III correctors in growing patients. Results: 180 orthodontists responded (80 male, 100 female). The appliances used most frequently in the treatment of Class II malocclusion were Planas indirect tracks (32.78%) and Twin-blocks (30.56%). Facemasks (62.22%) and Progenie plates (25%) were the most prevalent appliances used in the treatment of Class III malocclusions. Regarding treatment timing, 52% of the orthodontists stated that Class II malocclusions must be treated during late mixed dentition or early permanent dentition, 42% stated that treatment for Class III malocclusions should occur during early mixed dentition. Appliance use and treatment timing were significantly associated with sex (p= 0.034), years of practice (p= 0.025), and area of work (private clinics or public institutions), (p= 0.039). Conclusion: Twin-blocks and Facemask appliances were the preferred appliances for Class II and Class III treatment, respectively, in growing patients. Most of the orthodontists believed that Class II malocclusions must be treated during late mixed dentition and that Class III malocclusions must be treated during early mixed dentition. Sociodemographic variables are related factors that influence orthodontists' preferences in the use of these appliances.

Objetivo: Evaluar las preferencias de los ortodoncistas en el uso y momento oportuno de uso de aparatología para la corrección de maloclusiones Clase II y Clase III en pacientes en crecimiento y los factores sociodemográficos que influyen en estas preferencias. Material y Métodos: Se invitó a miembros activos de la Sociedad Colombiana de Ortodoncia (SCO) a completar una encuesta previamente validada, sobre el uso de correctores para Clase II y Clase III en pacientes en crecimiento. Resultados: Respondieron un total de 180 ortodoncistas (80 hombres, 100 mujeres). La aparatología más utilizada en el tratamiento de las maloclusiones de Clase II fueron pistas indirectas de Planas (32,78%) y bloques gemelos (30,56%). La máscara facial (62,22%) y las placas progenie (25%) fueron los aparatos más utilizados en el tratamiento de las maloclusiones de Clase III. En cuanto al momento oportuno del tratamiento, el 52% de los ortodoncistas afirmó que las maloclusiones de Clase II deben tratarse durante la dentición mixta tardía o la dentición permanente temprana, el 42% afirmó que el tratamiento para las maloclusiones de Clase III debe ocurrir durante la dentición mixta temprana. El uso de aparatos y el momento oportuno del tratamiento se asociaron significativamente con el sexo (p= 0,034), los años de práctica (p= 0,025) y el área de trabajo (clínicas privadas o instituciones públicas) (p= 0,039). Conclusión: Los aparatos bloques gemelos y la máscara facial fueron los preferidos para el tratamiento de Clase II y Clase III, respectivamente, en pacientes en crecimiento. La mayoría de los ortodoncistas consideran que las maloclusiones de Clase II deben tratarse durante la dentición mixta tardía y que las maloclusiones de Clase III deben tratarse durante la dentición mixta temprana. Las variables sociodemográficas son factores relacionados que influyen en las preferencias de los ortodoncistas en el uso de estos aparatos.

Efficacy of vertical control by using mini-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area for Angle class Ⅱ extraction patients / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy of vertical control by using conventional mini-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area for Angle class Ⅱ extraction patients.@*METHODS@#Twenty-eight Angle class Ⅱ patients [9 males, 19 females, and age (22.6±2.8) years] were selected in this study. All of these patients were treated by using straight wire appliance with 4 premolars extraction and 2 mini-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area. In this study, the self-control method was used to measure and analyze the lateral radiographs taken before and after orthodontic treatment in each case, the main cephalometric analysis items were related to vertical changes. The digitized lateral radiographs were imported into Dolphin Imaging Software (version 11.5: Dolphin Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, California, USA), and marked points were traced. Each marked point was confirmed by two orthodontists. The same orthodontist performed measurement on the lateral radiographs over a period of time. All measurement items were required to be measured 3 times, and the average value was taken as the final measurement result.@*RESULTS@#Analysis of the cephalometric radiographs showed that, for vertical measurements after treatment, the differences of the following measurements were highly statistically significant (P < 0.001): SN-MP decreased by (1.40±1.45) degrees on average, FMA decreased by (1.58±1.32) degrees on average, the back-to-front height ratio (S-Go/N-Me) decreased by 1.42%±1.43% on average, Y-axis angle decreased by (1.03±0.99) degrees on average, face angle increases by (1.37±1.05) degree on average; The following measurements were statistically significant (P < 0.05): the average depression of the upper molars was (0.68±1.40) mm, and the average depression of the upper anterior teeth was (1.07±1.55) mm. The outcomes indicated that there was a certain degree of upper molar depression after the treatment, which produced a certain degree of counterclockwise rotation of the mandibular plane, resulting in a positive effect on the improvement of the profile.@*CONCLUSION@#The conventional micro-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area has a certain vertical control ability, and can give rise to a certain counterclockwise rotation of the mandible, which would improve the profile of Angle Class Ⅱ patients.

Cambios en la vía aérea después de cirugía ortognática bimaxilar / Airway change after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery

RESUMEN: La cirugía ortognática se realiza en sujetos con algún tipo de alteración esqueletal. Los movimientos maxilo mandibulares tienen impacto en la vía aérea (VA) y este aspecto se debe incorporar en la planificación quirúrgica. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar los cambios generados en la VA después de realizada la cirugía ortognática. Se realizó un estudio piloto incluyendo 51 sujetos con deformidad facial de clase II y clase III; se incluyeron en base al estudio del ángulo ANB y el tipo de oclusión dentaria. Se realizaron estudios con tomografía de haz cónico identificando el volumen máximo en la vía área y las áreas mínimas y máximas; además se incluyó la posición del hueso hioide y la inclinación del plano mandibular para relacionar con la morfología de la VA; para definir significancia estadística se estableció un valor de p<0,05 incluyendo las pruebas T de student y T test. Los resultados indicaron que los sujetos clase II aumentaron significativamente el volumen y áreas máximas y mínimas de la VA; los sujetos de clase III esqueletal no presentaron diferencias significativas entre la etapa pre y post quirúrgica; el hueso hioides se presentó significativamente más anterior en ambos en casos de clase II y clase III. Es posible concluir que la VA mejora sustancialmente en sujetos con clase esqueletal facial tipo II y que se mantiene sin cambios en sujetos con clase facial tipo III.

SUMMARY: Orthognathic surgery is performed in subjects with some type of skeletal alteration. Maxillomandibular movements have an impact on the airway (AW) and this aspect must be included into surgical planning. The aim of this research is to determine the changes in the AW after orthognathic surgery. A pilot study was conducted including 51 subjects with class II and class III facial deformity; they were included using the ANB angle and the type of dental occlusion. Cone beam computed tomography were performed showing the maximum volume in the airway and the minimum and maximum areas; in addition, the position of the hyoid bone and the angle of the mandibular plane were included to relate it to the morphology of the AW; to define statistical significance, a value of p<0.05 was established, including the student's t-test and the t-test. The results showed that class II subjects significantly increased the volume and maximum and minimum areas of the AW; skeletal class III subjects did not presented significant differences between the pre- and post-surgical stage; the hyoid bone was in an anterior position in both class II and class III cases. It is possible to conclude that AW improves substantially in subjects with facial class II and remains unchanged in subjects with facial class III.

Conclusão Neste estudo, o osso hioide apresentou posições distintas nas más oclusões estudadas, no entanto, a má postura da coluna cervical foi comum em ambas as classes.

Evaluation of the clinical effectiveness of miniscrews in class i and ii malocclusion patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Aim: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of miniscrews in Class I and II Malocclusion Patients. Methods: From electronic databases, between 2010 and 2020, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ISI were used to conduct systematic literature. Two reviewers extracted data blindly and independently from the abstract and full text of the studies they used for data extraction. The mean differences between the two groups (miniscrews vs. conventional anchorage) with a 95 % confidence interval (CI), the Inverse-variance method, and the fixed-effect model were calculated. The Meta-analysis was evaluated using the statistical software Stata/MP v.16 (The fastest version of Stata). Results: A total of 186 potentially relevant titles and abstracts were found during the electronic and manual search. Finally, the inclusion criteria required for this systematic review were met by a total of seven publications. The mean difference of molar mesiodistal movement among seven studies and heterogeneity was -0.53 mm (MD, -0.53 95 % CI -0.69, -0.38. P= 0.00) (I2 = 96.52 %). This result showed maximum reinforcement in miniscrews with fewer mesial movements. Conclusion: The result of the current systematic review and meta-analysis shows that miniscrews in patients with class II and I malocclusion help maintain better anchorage preservation than traditional anchorage devices

Introduction: Class II malocclusion can negatively influence patients in quality of life, in the facial and oral appearance or both. Currently, orthodontic-surgical treatment is commonly used in patients with severe skeletal discrepancies. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the results of orthognathic surgery associated with orthodontic treatment in patients who have TMD and Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism. Methodology: A bibliographic search was performed in the scientific search platforms Google Scholar, CAPES/MEC, PubMed/Medline, Scielo, Elsevier, AJO-DO (American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics) and in The Angle Orthodontist (An International Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics), using the keywords: retrognathism, orthognathic surgery and TMJ disorders. Conclusion: With orthognathic treatment, most patients who had preoperative DTM signs and symptoms showed an improvement and a decrease in pain levels. In addition, orthodontic treatment is important for the success of the surgical procedure, as well as for post-surgical stability.(AU)

Stability of early anterior open bite treatment: a 2-year follow-up randomized clinical trial

Abstract This 2-year-follow up study compared and evaluated the stability of early anterior open bite (AOB) treatment based on different appliances. Children from 7 to 10 years with Angle Class I, AOB larger than 1.0 mm and fully erupted maxillary and mandibular permanent central incisors were eligible. The initial sample was 99 patients distributed, by simple randomization, into four groups: BS (bonded spurs), CC (chincup), FPC (fixed palatal crib) and RPC (removable palatal crib). Cephalometric analysis was performed at baseline (T1), final (T2) and 2-year post-treatment (T3) by taking the overbite measurements as the main outcome. Blinding was possible to cephalometric analysis. At T3, with dropouts, there were 63 individuals, being BS (n=15; overbite 0.19 mm; 11.54 years; 10 female (F)/5 male (M)); CC (n=11; overbite -0.19 mm; 11.41 years; 8 F/3 M); FPC (n=21; overbite 1.23 mm; 11.44 years; 15 F/6 M) and; RPC (n=16; overbite 0.73 mm; 11.67 years; 6 F/10 M). Changes in dentoskeletal variables and breaking deleterious oral habits during the follow up were statically analyzed with p<.05. Mandibular skeletal linear measurements and vertical dental components have gradually increased with age, manly at pubertal growth spurt and at the establishment of permanent dentition after treatment. Incisor teeth extrusion had impact on AOB correction and stability in 4 groups, which recorded a 1.15 mm-improvement of overbite after treatment (T3-T2). The experimental appliances were effective with stable results, being FPC the device recorded the highest AOB correction and the lowest patient withdrawal rate.

Resumo Os objetivos do presente estudo foram comparar e avaliar a estabilidade do tratamento precoce da mordida aberta anterior (MAA) com diferentes dispositivos. A amostra inicial foi composta por 99 pacientes randomizados em quatro grupos experimentais: BS - esporões colados; CC - mentoneira; FPC - grade palatina fixa; RPC - grade palatina removível. Análise cefalométrica foi realizada para avaliar os dados do período inicial (T1), final do tratamento (T2) e 2 anos após tratamento (T3), sendo a variável overbite o desfecho principal. Em T3, após perdas de seguimento, haviam 63 indivíduos, sendo BS (n=15; overbite 0.19 mm; 11.54 anos; 10 Feminino (F)/5 Masculino (M)); CC (n=11; overbite -0.19 mm; 11.41 anos; 8 F/3 M); FPC (n=21; overbite 1.23 mm; 11.44 anos; 15 F/6 M) e; RPC (n=16; overbite 0.73 mm; 11.67 anos; 6 F/10 M). Comparações das alterações nas variáveis dentoesqueléticas e abandono de hábitos bucais deletérios durante o tempo de acompanhamento foram estatisticamente analisados com p<.05. Medidas esqueléticas lineares mandibulares e componentes verticais aumentaram gradualmente com a idade, principalmente com o surto de crescimento puberal e estabelecimento da dentição permanente no pós-tratamento. O overbite foi significantemente melhorado durante o tratamento, permanecendo estável com alterações positivas. A extrusão dos incisivos impactou na correção da MAA e estabilidade nos 4 grupos, que registraram uma melhora de 1.15 mm no pós-tratamento (T3-T2). Com suas limitações, todos dispositivos experimentais foram efetivos e mostraram resultados estáveis no tratamento precoce da MAA, sendo que a FPC apresentou a maior correção da MAA e o menor índice de desistência.

Esfuerzos generados en la ATM en maloclusión clase II, tratada con exodoncias de premolares y ortodoncia: análisis mediante el método de elementos finitos / Strain generated in the TMJ with class II malocclusions, treated with extraction of premolars and orthodontics: analysis with the finite element method

RESUMEN Introducción: la exodoncia de premolares es una alternativa para el tratamiento de la maloclusión clase II. Un cambio en la biomecánica puede generar alteraciones en la Articulación Temporomandibular (ATM) lo que produce mayor desgaste dental y aparición de patologías articulares. El objetivo fue analizar mediante el método de elementos finitos la concentración de esfuerzos en la ATM, en maloclusión clase II, tratados con exodoncia de premolares y Ortodoncia. Métodos: dos modelos de simulación en 3D cada uno con estructuras óseas de los 2 maxilares, dentición completa y disco en la ATM. Uno corresponde al paciente sin recidiva (SR) tratado con exodoncia de primeros premolares y ortodoncia, donde se mantiene la estabilidad dental clase I. El otro modelo con recidiva (CR) tratada con exodoncia de primeros premolares y ortodoncia, aumento de overjet y overbite y clase II canina; la carga se aplicó sobre la rama mandibular. Resultados: con una carga de 900N los esfuerzos se triplicaron en todas las estructuras de los dos modelos al ser comparados con una carga de 300N; sin embargo, se dieron diferencias considerables en el modelo CR entre las cavidades glenoideas, a 300N de 19.9 MPa y a 900N de 59.3 MPa. La mayor concentración del disco se da en la parte lateral. Conclusiones: dada la asimetría en las estructuras de la ATM, los esfuerzos y la concentración de tensiones difieren entre el lado derecho e izquierdo en los dos modelos.

Abstract Introduction: premolar extraction is an alternative for the treatment of class II malocclusion. A change in biomechanics can generate alterations in the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ), which produces greater dental wear and the appearance of joint dysfunctions. The objective was to assess the effort concentration in the TMJ by means of finite element analysis in class II malocclusions treated with premolar extraction and orthodontics. Method: two 3D simulation models each with bone structures of the 2 jaws, complete dentition and disc in the TMJ. One corresponds to the patient without recurrence (WR) treated with extraction of first premolars and orthodontics, where class I dental stability is maintained. The other model with recurrence (R) treated with extraction of first premolars and orthodontics, increased overjet and overbite and canine class II; the load was applied to the mandibular ramus. Results: loads of 900N triplicated on all structures compared to 300N in both models. However, there were considerable differences between the left and right glenoid cavities in the WR model, at 300N of 19.9 MPa and 900N at 59.3 MPa. Most tensions of the disc occur in the lateral part. Conclusions: due to the asymmetry in the TMJ structures, the stresses and stress concentration differ between the right and left sides in the two models.

Cephalometric Evaluation of Nasopharyngeal Airway and Hyoid Bone Position in Subgroups of Class II Malocclusions / Evaluación cefalométrica de la vía área nasofaríngea y posición del hueso hioides en subgrupos de maloclusión clase II

Abstract The aim of the study is to evaluate pharyngeal airway dimensions and hyoid bone position according to different Class II malocclusion types in Turkish population. Materials and Methods: The retrospective clinical study consisted of patients divided into 3 subgroups with skeletal Class II malocclusion. A total of 221 individuals (131 females and 90 males) were included in the study. Individuals with skeletal Class II malocclusion were divided into three subgroups as maxillary prognathia, mandibular retrognathia and combined. In the cephalometric analysis; 8 nasopharyngeal, 7 oropharyngeal, 2 hypopharyngeal, 9 hyoid measurements and 4 area measurements were used. The distribution of sex and growth-development stages of the patients were compared with the Pearson chi-square test. One-way ANOVA was used to evaluate patients. Tukey Post-Hoc tests were used for bilateral comparisons for significant parameters. SPSS package program was used for data analysis. Results were considered statistically significant at p0.05). When the position of the hyoid bone was evaluated, a statistically significant difference was found between the three groups in the measurements of Hy-Pg (mm) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Linear and areal nasopharyngeal airway dimensions are similar in subgroups of Class II malocclusions, while the distance of the hyoid bone from the pogonion is less in the mandibular retrognathia group.

Resumen El objetivo del estudio es evaluar las dimensiones de las vías respiratorias faríngeas y la posición del hueso hioides según los diferentes tipos de maloclusión de clase II en la población turca. Materiales y métodos: El estudio clínico retrospectivo consistió en pacientes divididos en 3 subgrupos con maloclusión esquelética de Clase II. Un total de 221 individuos (131 mujeres y 90 hombres) fueron incluidos en el estudio. Los individuos con maloclusión esquelética de Clase II fueron divididos en tres subgrupos como prognatismo maxilar, retrognatismo mandibular y combinados. En el análisis cefalométrico se utilizaron 8 medidas nasofaríngeas, 7 orofaríngeas, 2 hipofaríngeas, 9 medidas hioides y 4 medidas de área. La distribución del sexo y las etapas de desarrollo del crecimiento de los pacientes se compararon con la prueba de chi cuadrado de Pearson. Se utilizó un ANOVA unidireccional para evaluar a los pacientes. Las pruebas Tukey Post-Hoc se usaron para comparaciones bilaterales de parámetros significativos. El programa del paquete SPSS se usó para el análisis de datos. Los resultados se consideraron estadísticamente significativos a un nivel de significación p0.05). Cuando se evaluó la posición del hueso hioides, se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los tres grupos en las mediciones de Hy-Pg (mm) (p<0.05). Conclusión: Las dimensiones de las vías respiratorias nasofaríngeas lineales y areales son similares en los subgrupos de maloclusiones de Clase II, mientras que la distancia del hueso hioides al pogonion es menor en el grupo de retrognacia mandibular.

Correção da má oclusão de classe II com propulsor mandibular: revisão de literatura / Correction of class II malocclusion with mandibular trusters: literature review

Introdução: a má oclusão de classe II consiste no desequilíbrio da relação entre as arcadas, podendo ser causada por deficiência mandibular, protrusão maxilar, ou ambas, sendo caracterizada pelo molar inferior distalmente posicionado em relação ao molar superior. Objetivo: este estudo tem o objetivo de apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre a eficiência dos propulsores mandibulares fixos disponíveis no mercado odontológico no tratamento da má oclusão de classe II. Métodos: a pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados Google Acadêmico, SciELO e PubMed, para filtragem dos artigos selecionados. Para revisão de literatura, foram utilizados 17 artigos. Entre os protocolos de tratamento de classe II, esses aparelhos se destacam por serem fixos, por esse motivo, não dependem da colaboração direta do paciente. Com o passar dos anos, os propulsores mandibulares fixos foram cada vez mais aprimorados, oferecendo mais simplicidade na sua instalação e maior conforto ao paciente. Considerações finais: concluiu-se que os aparelhos funcionais propulsores mandibulares fixos são uma ótima escolha para o tratamento compensatório na má oclusão de classe II, sendo eficazes na correção da relação dentária e dependendo de menor cooperação do paciente.(AU)

Introduction: class II malocclusion consists of an imbalance in the relationship between the arches, which can be caused by mandibular deficiency, maxillary protrusion, or both, and is characterized by the mandibular molar distally positioned in relation to the maxillary molar. Objective: this study aims to present a literature review on the efficiency of fixed mandibular thrusters available in the dental market in the treatment of Class II malocclusion. Methods: the research was carried out in the Google Scholar, SciELO and PubMed databases to filter the selected articles. For literature review, 17 articles were used. Among Class II treatment protocols, these devices stand out for being fixed, for this reason, they do not depend on the direct collaboration of the patient. Over the years, fixed mandibular thrusters have been increasingly improved, offering more simplicity in their installation and greater comfort to the patient. Final considerations: it was concluded that the fixed mandibular thrusters functional devices are a great choice for compensatory treatment in Class II malocclusion, being effective in correcting the dental relationship and depending on less patient cooperation.(AU)
