RESUMO
Introduction: The Index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need [IOFTN] was introduced to overcome the limitations of IOTN index to determine treatment need for Orthognathic surgery, and to assist in prioritising public resources for Orthognathic surgery
Objective: To apply IOFTN in patients who were in preparation for Orthognathic surgery
Study design: Across sectional study
Setting: Department of Orthodontics, Faisalabad Medical University [FMU], Faisalabad
Duration of study: 6 months from 10.6.2017 to 10.12.2017
Sample size: The calculated sample size was 50 patients
Sampling technique: Purposive sampling technique
Data collection procedure: Findings were recorded on data collection Performa. The data was analysed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software package [SPSS] 21
Results: Results showed that 90 percent of the cases scored grade 4 and 5. 51 percent of female patients and 49 percent of male patients were needed definite Orthognathic treatment according to IOFTN. No significant gender difference was found for Orthognathic treatment need. IOFTN showed 40 percent [Grade 5], 45 percent [Grade 4], 7 percent [Grade 3], 2= percent [Grade 2] and 0 percent [GradE[1]] results respectively.7 percent of the patients were classified as being in need of moderate treatment, with 2 percent having mild treatment needs. Class II malocclusions [60 percent] and Class III skeletal patterns [40 percent] were the most prevalent type
Conclusion: IOFTN found 90 percent of orthognathic patients as having great to very great functional needs
