The aim of this in study was the evaluation of treatment outcomes after using a hybrid hyrax-facemask combination in growing class III patients.
Treatment of 16 children (mean age 9.5±1.3 years) was investigated clinically and by means of pre- and post-treatment cephalograms. Changes in sagittal and vertical, and dental and skeletal values were evaluated and tested for statistically significant differences.
All mini-implants remained stable during treatment. Mean treatment duration was 5.8±1.7 months. There was a significant improvement in skeletal sagittal values: SNA, +2.0°; SNB, -1.2°; ANB, +3.2°; WITS appraisal, +4.1 mm and overjet, +2.7 mm. No significant changes were found concerning vertical skeletal relationships and upper incisor inclination. In relation to A point, the upper first molars moved mesially about 0.4 mm (P=0.134).
The hybrid hyrax-facemask combination seems to be effective for orthopaedic treatment in growing class III patients. Unwanted maxillary dental movements can be avoided due to stable skeletal anchorage.
本研究的目的是评估在生长发育期的III类错颌患者中使用混合式扩弓器-面罩联合矫治器后的治疗效果。
对16名儿童(平均年龄9.5±1.3岁)进行了临床研究,并通过治疗前后的头影测量片进行分析。评估矢状向、垂直向以及牙齿和骨骼数据的变化,并检验其是否存在统计学上的显著差异。
治疗过程中所有微型种植体均保持稳定。平均治疗时间为5.8±1.7个月。骨骼矢状向数据有显著改善:SNA角增加2.0°;SNB角减小1.2°;ANB角增加3.2°;WITS值增加4.1 mm,覆盖增加2.7 mm。垂直向骨骼关系和上切牙倾斜度未发现显著变化。相对于A点,上颌第一磨牙近中移动约0.4 mm(P = 0.134)。
混合式扩弓器-面罩联合矫治器似乎对生长发育期的III类错颌患者的正畸治疗有效。由于稳定的骨骼锚固作用,可以避免上颌牙齿不必要的移动。
