背景:一种新设计,Biblock装置,是为II类错牙合的功能性治疗而开发的。
目的:为了比较Biblock矫治器(BA)和Activator矫治器(AA)对骨骼的影响,齿状肺泡,和软组织II类错牙合。
方法:本研究包括35例由II类骨骼错牙合和正常生长模式引起的下颌后移性患者。选择BA组(n=17,8个男孩和9个女孩,平均年龄=12.08±0.37岁),我们选择了接受AA治疗的主动对照组(n=18,9名男孩和9名女孩,平均年龄=12.3±0.27岁),这与BA组的发展和性别相匹配。根据手腕成熟度,所有患者均在PP2=DP3u之间。与骨骼相关的头影测量变量,齿状肺泡,测量软组织。
结果:BA治疗时间为18.17±1.45个月,AA治疗时间为16.92±1.09个月。两组的II类骨骼错牙合畸形均有显着改善。在比较组中,AA组ANS-Me的升高明显高于AA组(P<0.05)。比较组的Cd271SN和S-Cd增加明显高于BA组(P<0.05)。骨骼组之间的测量没有显着差异,齿状肺泡,软组织测量值(P>0.05)。
结论:AA的影响,正畸界接受的矫治器,BA,一个新的设计,在骨骼上,齿状肺泡,软组织相似。
BACKGROUND: A new design, the Biblock appliance, was developed for the functional treatment of Class II malocclusions.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of Biblock appliance (BA) and Activator appliance (AA) on the skeleton, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue in Class II malocclusions.
METHODS: Thirty-five patients with mandibular
retrognathia caused by skeletal Class II malocclusion and normodivergent growth pattern were included in this study. After selecting the BA group (n = 17, 8 boys and 9 girls, mean age = 12.08 ± 0.37 years), we selected the active control group treated with AA (n = 18, 9 boys and 9 girls, mean age = 12.3 ± 0.27 years), which matched the BA group\'s development and gender. All patients were between PP2 = DP3u periods according to hand-wrist maturation. Cephalometric variables related to the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue were measured.
RESULTS: Treatment duration was 18.17 ± 1.45 months with BA and 16.92 ± 1.09 months with AA. Skeletal Class II malocclusion improved significantly in both groups. In the compared groups, the increase in ANS-Me was significantly higher in the AA group (P < 0.05). The Cd⊥SN and S-Cd increase in the compared groups was significantly higher in the BA group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in measurements between the groups in skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue measurements (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The effects of AA, an appliance accepted by the orthodontic community, and BA, a new design, on the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue were similar.
