目的:本病例对照研究的目的是调查咬合特征,接受正畸治疗,口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQoL),由于矢状面融合而手术的成年人对牙齿美学的满意度。
方法:研究组由40名成年人组成(25名男性,15名女性,平均年龄27.4岁,范围18-41),由于儿童时期孤立的矢状滑膜而进行手术。对照组包括40名年龄和性别匹配的成年人。在研究访视期间对咬合特征进行临床评估。从牙科记录中收集了有关先前正畸治疗的信息。OHRQoL使用14项口腔健康影响概况(OHIP-14)进行测量,使用视觉模拟量表评估对牙齿美学的满意度。
结果:在错牙合性状方面,患者组和对照组之间没有发现统计学上的显着差异(overjet,过位,摩尔关系,交叉咬合,剪刀咬伤),以前的正畸治疗,治疗前的错牙合诊断,OHIP变量,或对牙齿美学的满意度。然而,头颅患者有增加过度喷射和过度咬伤的趋势。
结论:似乎儿童时期手术的头颅畸形的成年人在咬合方面与普通人群没有区别,接受正畸治疗,或口腔健康相关的福祉。
The aim of this
case-control study was to investigate occlusal characteristics, received orthodontic treatment, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and satisfaction with dental esthetics in adults operated due to sagittal synostosis.
The study group consisted of 40 adults (25 males, 15 females, mean age 27.4 years, range 18-41) who were operated due to isolated sagittal synostosis in childhood. The control group comprised 40 age and gender-matched adults. Occlusal characteristics were evaluated clinically during study visits. Information on the previous orthodontic treatment was collected from dental records. OHRQoL was measured using the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), and satisfaction with dental esthetics was evaluated using a visual analogue scale.
No statistically significant differences were found between the patient group and the controls in malocclusion traits (overjet, overbite, molar relationships, crossbite, scissor bite), previous orthodontic treatment, pre-treatment malocclusion diagnoses, OHIP variables, or satisfaction with dental esthetics. However, there was a tendency toward increased overjet and overbite in scaphocephalic patients.
It seems that adults with
scaphocephaly operated in childhood do not differ from the average population in terms of occlusion, received orthodontic treatment, or oral health-related well-being.
