To study patients' acceptance of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics as a treatment option.
Adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment were asked to complete two sets of questionnaires; the first set included questions about age, sex, and level of education and general questions about orthodontic treatment; and the second set was related to the corticotomy-assisted orthodontics. Before answering the corticotomy questions, a brief description of the clinical procedure was explained and photographs of an actual procedure were shown.
A total of 150 subjects were approached and 129 (86%) agreed to answer the questionnaires (72 male and 57 female patients). Of these, only 3.1% did hear about corticotomy and 7.8% selected corticotomy instead of extraction. Fear from the surgery (53.2%) was the most frequent reason for not selecting corticotomy followed by fear from pain (36.9%). The acceptance of corticotomy between males and females was similar. No relationship was found between the level of education and prior knowledge of the procedure, P=0.857. Prior knowledge about corticotomy was not a factor in selecting it as a treatment option (P=0.556) to reduce the treatment time (P=0.427).
The acceptance of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics as a treatment option was low. Fear from the surgery was the main reason for not selecting it. The acceptance of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics was not related to patient's level of education or sex.
研究患者对皮质骨切开辅助正畸治疗作为一种治疗选择的接受程度。
要求寻求正畸治疗的成年患者完成两套问卷；第一套问卷包括有关年龄、性别、教育程度的问题以及关于正畸治疗的一般性问题；第二套问卷与皮质骨切开辅助正畸治疗有关。在回答皮质骨切开相关问题之前，对临床操作进行了简要描述并展示了实际操作的照片。
共接触了150名受试者，129名（86%）同意回答问卷（72名男性患者和57名女性患者）。其中，只有3.1%听说过皮质骨切开术，7.8%选择皮质骨切开术而非拔牙术。不选择皮质骨切开术的最常见原因是对手术的恐惧（53.2%），其次是对疼痛的恐惧（36.9%）。男性和女性对皮质骨切开术的接受程度相似。未发现教育程度与对该操作的先验知识之间存在关联，P = 0.857。关于皮质骨切开术的先验知识不是选择其作为治疗选择以缩短治疗时间的因素（P = 0.556）（P = 0.427）。
皮质骨切开辅助正畸治疗作为一种治疗选择的接受程度较低。对手术的恐惧是不选择它的主要原因。皮质骨切开辅助正畸治疗的接受程度与患者的教育程度或性别无关。
