To evaluate the effect of rapid palatal expansion (RPE) using Haas-type expanders on children's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) and compare said effect with that previously reported for the use of Hyrax-type expanders.
Forty participants aged 8-10 years with transverse maxillary deficiency were treated using Haas appliances. OHRQOL was measured using the CPQ before RPE, during RPE (T), at the end of RPE (T), and 1 month after appliance removal (T). Generalized mixed models were fitted to assess the effect of the Haas-type expander compared to previously collected data (a nontreated and a Hyrax-type expander-treated group).
RPE with Haas-type appliances had a negative impact on overall OHRQOL at T and T (P = 0.001), and a positive impact at T (P = 0.001). The Haas-type expander had a significantly greater negative impact on OHRQOL than the Hyrax-type appliance during RPE. At T, overall scores using the Haas-type expander were 1.08 times the scores using the Hyrax-type expander (i.e., 8% increase; 95% CI, 1.01-1.17; P = 0.033). Patients using the Haas appliance had 1.24 times the scores of those using Hyrax-type devices for the oral symptoms domain at T (i.e., 24% increase; 95% CI, 1.06-1.46; P = 0.009).
Correction of the transverse maxillary deficiency by RPE using the Haas appliance in children 8-10 years improves OHRQOL. The Haas- and Hyrax-type devices temporarily worsen OHRQOL during treatment, however, the negative impact is less with the Hyrax-type expander than with the Haas-type expander, because it causes fewer negative oral symptoms.
From a patient-centered perspective, the use of the Hyrax over the Haas appliance may be suggested as it causes less negative oral symptoms during use.
评估使用 Haas 式扩弓器进行快速腭扩张(RPE)对儿童口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQOL)的影响,并将其与之前报道的 Hyrax 式扩弓器的影响进行比较。
40 名年龄在 8-10 岁、有横向上颌骨发育不足的参与者使用 Haas 器具进行治疗。在 RPE 之前(T)、RPE 期间(T)、RPE 结束时(T)和器械去除后 1 个月(T)使用 CPQ 测量 OHRQOL。使用广义混合模型评估与之前收集的数据(未经治疗组和 Hyrax 式扩弓器治疗组)相比,Haas 式扩弓器的效果。
使用 Haas 式器具进行 RPE 时,T 和 T 时 OHRQOL 整体受到负面影响(P = 0.001),T 时受到正面影响(P = 0.001)。在 RPE 期间,Haas 式扩弓器对 OHRQOL 的负面影响明显大于 Hyrax 式扩弓器。在 T 时,使用 Haas 式扩弓器的总体评分是使用 Hyrax 式扩弓器的 1.08 倍(即增加 8%;95%CI,1.01-1.17;P = 0.033)。使用 Haas 式器具的患者在 T 时的口腔症状域的评分是使用 Hyrax 式器械的 1.24 倍(即增加 24%;95%CI,1.06-1.46;P = 0.009)。
8-10 岁儿童通过 Haas 式器具进行 RPE 纠正横向上颌骨发育不足可改善 OHRQOL。Haas 和 Hyrax 式器具在治疗过程中暂时会降低 OHRQOL,但与 Haas 式扩弓器相比,Hyrax 式扩弓器的负面影响较小,因为它引起的口腔症状较少。
从以患者为中心的角度来看,建议使用 Hyrax 式扩弓器而非 Haas 式扩弓器,因为它在使用过程中引起的口腔症状较少。
