This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: More than 30 states use the Salzmann Index or the Handicapping Labiolingual Deviation Index to determine which patients receive tax-supported orthodontic treatment. The indexes use a criterion which produces a numerical value reflective of the severity of the malocclusion. The aim of the study is to evaluate the validity of these indexes by comparing subjective evaluations of orthodontic treatment need to objective scores produced by indexes of malocclusion. Methods: 20 orthodontic faculty and residents (VAS Group) were asked to evaluate the severity of malocclusion of 20 patients, prior to beginning orthodontic treatment, using a subjective scale, a Visual Analog Scale (from "No need for treatment" to "Severe need for treatment"). The 20 patients consisted of a variety of malocclusions including Class I, Class II, Class III, anterior crossbite, posterior crossbite, impaction. A separate group of 3 residents (IS Group) evaluated the same patient malocclusions using the aforementioned indexes of malocclusion. The results were analyzed to identify a correlation between the subjective scale (VAS) and objective scales (IS). Results: In total, 20 residents and faculty evaluated the severity of malocclusions. There was a weak correlation between the Salzmann scores and the Visual Analog Scale scores (Correlation Coefficient, R2=0.2359). There was a moderate correlation between the Handicapped Labiolingual Deviation index scores and the Visual Analog Scale scores (Correlation Coefficient, R2=0.4486). When comparing the faculty versus the residents in the VAS Group there was a strong correlation between them (Correlation Coefficient, R2=0.7901). Although, there was a strong correlation, on average the faculty scored the malocclusions with 15% more severe need for treatment than did the residents. Conclusion: Overall, there was a weak correlation for the Salzmann Index and a moderate correlation for the Handicapped Labiolingual Deviation Index, indicating neither indexes are optimal for evaluation of malocclusions. More emphasis has to be placed on identifying an objective method to evaluating the severity of malocclusions.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To perform a retrospective study with the question: Is there a significant correlation between pre-surgical Curve of Spee (COS) and skeletal changes from mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) advancement surgery? Furthermore, in skeletal Class II patients, does initial mandibular plane angle (MPA) make a difference? Methods: The sample was made up of a group of patients who underwent a single surgical procedure of mandibular BSSO advancement and divided into three groups by mandibular plane angle (MPA). Pre-surgical Curve of Spee (COS) was measured on digital dental models and correlated with skeletal changes from pre-surgical and post-surgical cephalograms using Spearman rank-order analysis. Paired T-test was utilized to identify statistical significance. Regression analysis was performed to estimate the cephalometric change per unit of pre-surgical COS. P-value was set at 0.05. Results: The sample was composed of 90 subjects; divided into 3 groups: (1) high-MPA (MPA 34.10 ± 3.23°; aged 26.28 ± 17.66 years; n = 30) (2) medium-MPA (MPA 27.85 ± 1.61°; aged 22.04 ± 11.40 years; n = 30) (3) low-MPA (MPA 20.91 ± 3.20°; aged 26.84 ± 15.58; n = 30). Statistical significance was found between pre-surgical Curve of Spee (COS) and both linear and percentage changes of lower face height (LFH) in the low-MPA group (p

Book excerpt: An illustrated guide for the complex process of orthodontic diagnostics and indication. The total process of treatment planning including the scientific bases is pictorially described. Beside the conventional methods of examination and model analysis, emphasis is placed on the cranio-facial growth processes, the aetiology of malocclusions and on the importance of functional analysis. The following three aspects are described in detail in this book: Growth of the Facial Skeleton - types of treatment which promote or guide growth. In order to control these natural processes artificially, a precise understanding of them is required. Aetiology of the Malocclusion - the various types of causative therapy and the elimination of the causes. Functional Analysis - many malocclusions are a result of dysfunctions. As a variety of methods are available for treating dysfunctions, functional analysis is taken very seriously.
