ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Due to the lack of studies that distinguish between dentoalveolar and basal changes caused by the Thurow appliance, this clinical study, carried out by the School of Dentistry - State University of São Paulo/Araraquara, aimed at assessing the dental and skeletal changes induced by modified Thurow appliance.

METHODS:

The sample included an experimental group comprising 13 subjects aged between 7 and 10 years old, with Class II malocclusion and anterior open bite, and a control group comprising 22 subjects similar in age, sex and mandibular plane angle. Maxillary/mandibular, horizontal/vertical, dental/skeletal movements (ANS, PNS, U1, U6, Co, Go, Pog, L1, L6) were assessed, based on 14 landmarks, 8 angles (S-N-ANS, SNA, PPA, S-N-Pog, SNB, MPA, PP/MPA, ANB) and 3 linear measures (N-Me, ANS-Me, S-Go).

RESULTS:

Treatment caused significantly greater angle decrease between the palatal and the mandibular plane of the experimental group, primarily due to an increase in the palatal plane angle. ANB, SNA and S-N-ANS angles significantly decreased more in patients from the experimental group. PNS was superiorly remodeled. Lower face height (ANS-Me) decreased in the experimental group and increased in the control group.

CONCLUSIONS:

The modified Thurow appliance controlled vertical and horizontal displacements of the maxilla, rotated the maxilla and improved open bite malocclusion, decreasing lower facial height. .
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

devido ao número reduzido de estudos que distinguem entre as mudanças dentoalveolares e ósseas produzidas pelo aparelho de Thurow, esse estudo clínico, conduzido pelo departamento de Ortodontia da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araraquara, foi proposto para avaliar as mudanças dentárias e esqueléticas induzidas pelo aparelho de Thurow modificado.

MÉTODOS:

a amostra incluiu um grupo experimental de 13 indivíduos, entre 7 e 10 anos de idade, com má oclusão Classe II e mordida aberta anterior, e um grupo controle de 22 indivíduos, com idades, plano mandibular e má oclusão similares. Com base em 14 pontos cefalométricos, 8 ângulos (S-N-ANS, SNA, PPA, S-N-Pog, SNB, MPA, PP/MPA, ANB) e 3 medidas lineares (N-Me, ANS-Me, S-Go), foram avaliados movimentos maxilares e mandibulares horizontais e verticais dentários e esqueléticos (ANS, PNS, U1, U6, Co, Go, Pog, L1, L6).

RESULTADOS:

o tratamento produziu diminuição significativamente maior no ângulo entre o plano palatino e o plano mandibular do grupo controle, devido ao aumento do ângulo do plano palatino. Os ângulos A-N-B, S-N-A e S-N-ANS diminuíram significativamente mais no grupo tratado. A PNS sofreu remodelação superior. A altura facial inferior (ANS-Me) diminuiu no grupo tratado, ao passo que aumentou no grupo controle.

CONCLUSÕES:

o aparelho controlou deslocamento vertical e horizontal da maxila, rotacionou a maxila para melhorar a mordida aberta e diminuiu a altura facial inferior. .
