: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of AMCOP elastodontic appliances on cephalometric parameters of skeletal divergence and upper airway dimensions in growing patients, comparing treated individuals with an untreated control group. : A total of 60 subjects (30 treated with AMCOP devices and 30 controls) were selected, with mean ages of 8.67 ± 1.3 and 9.19 ± 0.8 years, respectively. The AMCOP appliances, designed for mixed dentition, were worn for 1 h during the day and throughout the night for 6-8 months. Cephalometric analyses were conducted at the beginning (T0) and end (T1) of treatment. Statistical analyses were performed using multivariable linear regression models to assess changes in skeletal and airway parameters, with significance set at < 0.05. : Significant reductions were observed in Ans-Snp^Go-Gn ( = 0.0351), SN^Go-Gn ( = 0.0091), and FMA ( < 0.001) in the treated group compared to controls, indicating improved mandibular rotation. Upper airway spaces (SPAS, MAS, IAS) increased significantly, suggesting enhanced airway patency. Regression models confirmed the positive impact of AMCOP therapy on skeletal and airway outcomes, particularly in subjects with pronounced vertical discrepancies. : AMCOP elastodontic devices effectively promote anterior mandibular rotation and reduce mandibular plane inclination in hyperdivergent patients, contributing to balanced craniofacial growth. The expansion of pharyngeal spaces indicates potential respiratory benefits. Future research is needed to confirm long-term stability and address variability in treatment response.
本研究旨在评估AMCOP弹性正畸矫治器对生长发育期患者骨骼差异的头影测量参数和上气道尺寸的影响,并将治疗组与未治疗的对照组进行比较。
共选取60名受试者(30名接受AMCOP装置治疗,30名作为对照),平均年龄分别为8.67±1.3岁和9.19±0.8岁。专为混合牙列设计的AMCOP矫治器,白天佩戴1小时,夜间全程佩戴6 - 8个月。在治疗开始时(T0)和结束时(T1)进行头影测量分析。使用多变量线性回归模型进行统计分析,以评估骨骼和气道参数的变化,显著性设定为<0.05。
与对照组相比,治疗组在Ans - Snp^Go - Gn( = 0.0351)、SN^Go - Gn( = 0.0091)和FMA(<0.001)方面有显著降低,表明下颌旋转得到改善。上气道间隙(SPAS、MAS、IAS)显著增加,表明气道通畅性增强。回归模型证实了AMCOP治疗对骨骼和气道结果的积极影响,特别是在垂直差异明显的受试者中。
AMCOP弹性正畸装置有效地促进了前下颌旋转,并降低了高角型患者的下颌平面倾斜度,有助于颅面的平衡生长。咽间隙的扩大表明对呼吸可能有益。需要进一步的研究来确认长期稳定性并解决治疗反应的变异性问题。
