Luo J, Liu T, Wang Y, Li X. The association between dental and dentoalveolar arch forms of children with normal occlusion and malocclusion: a cross-sectional study. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:731. [PMID: 38918757 PMCID: PMC11201085 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04515-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Symmetrical and coordinated dental and alveolar arches are crucial for achieving proper occlusion. This study aimed to explore the association between dental and dentoalveolar arch forms in children with both normal occlusion and malocclusion. METHODS 209 normal occlusion subjects (5-13 years, mean 8.48 years) and 199 malocclusion subjects (5-12 years, mean 8.19 years) were included. The dentoalveolar arch form was characterized by the smoothest projected curve representing the layered contour of the buccal alveolar bone, referred to as the LiLo curve. Subsequently, a polynomial function was utilized to assess dental and dentoalveolar arch forms. To facilitate separate analyses of shape (depth/width ratio) and size (depth and width), the widths of dental and dentoalveolar arch forms were normalized. The normalized dental and dentoalveolar arch forms (shapes) were further classified into 6 groups, termed dental/dentoalveolar arch clusters, using the k-means algorithm. RESULTS The association between dental and dentoalveolar arch clusters was found to be one-to-many rather than one-to-one. The mismatch between dental and dentoalveolar arch forms is common in malocclusion, affecting 11.4% of the maxilla and 9.2% of the mandible, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There are large individual variations in the association between dental and dentoalveolar arch forms. Early orthodontic treatment may play an active role in coordinating the relationship between the dental and dentoalveolar arch forms.

Abstract
The appropriate timing for orthodontic intervention has been a subject of debate for a long time, concerning not only the immediate effects but also the long-term benefits of such treatment. This review aimed to find the appropriate treatment timing for the intervention of various orthodontic problems. A literature search was performed in all major databases, including PubMed and Cochrane Library, until February 20, 2023. All observational and experimental studies published in English that compared early versus late orthodontic treatment in different types of orthodontic problems were included. Data selection and charting were undertaken by a single investigator. A total of 32 studies were identified that discussed various aspects of interventions, including Class II and Class III malocclusion, pseudo-Class III malocclusion, anterior and posterior crossbite, extractions, and long-term benefits. Overall, early intervention was not found to be superior in terms of effectiveness, overall duration of appliances, and cost-benefit ratio. Early intervention should be reserved for specific conditions or localized malocclusions that have psycho-social benefits, or to significantly reduce the severity of problems to be dealt with in comprehensive treatment in the permanent dentition.

Orthod Craniofac Res 2023; 26:642-649. [PMID: 36905088 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to compare severe crowding treatment's skeletal and dental effects by serial extractions or maxillary expansion and serial extractions in the mixed dentition phase. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION The retrospective controlled study included lateral cephalograms of 78 subjects aged 8.5 ± 1.4 years, 52 consecutively treated because of severe crowding, and 26 untreated controls matched for baseline age and observational period. METHODS Subjects were clustered according to the treatment modality, either serial extraction (EX) or expansion and extraction (EXP-EX) group. Sagittal and vertical skeletal as well as dental cephalometric parameters were assessed at baseline and after the eruption of all permanent posterior teeth, and group comparisons were performed. RESULTS Both treatment modalities significantly affected the vertical skeletal parameters in terms of decreasing the mandibular and occlusal plane inclination and increasing the facial height index. A distinct treatment effect on the gonial angle was observed, with a significant decrease in its superior part observed in both extraction groups. The annualized changes in the superior part of the gonial angle significantly differ (P = .036) between the Control (-0.04 ± 0.6), EX (-0.44 ± 0.6) and EXP-EX (-0.34 ± 0.5) groups. Upper and lower incisor inclination did not change significantly in any of the groups; however, the interincisal angle at follow-up was significantly smaller in the Control compared with both treated groups. CONCLUSIONS Serial extractions and a combination of maxillary expansion and serial extractions have similar significant skeletal effects, mainly affecting vertical cephalometric parameters if performed during the pre-pubertal growth phase.

JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101275. [PMID: 36064145 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.08.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of premolar extraction and non-extraction for orthodontic treatment on the skeletal, dentoalveolar and pharyngeal airway. MATERIAL AND METHOD The study was carried out with the radiographs of a total of 130 patients at the ages of 14 to 25, including 59 male and 71 female patients. The cases were divided into two groups as the "extraction" group(2 upper premolar teeth) (n = 66) and the "non extraction" group (n = 64). RESULTS Extraction Group:In both age groups, there was a statistically significant increase in the mean interincisal angle (U1xL1) and lower anterior facial height (ANS-Me) values(p < 0.05). In the 14-18 age group, there was a significant increase in the mean upper airway thickness, inferior airway space, hyoid position, soft palate length(PNSP) and upper pharynx values(p < 0.05). In both sexes, while the mean U1xL1 and ANS-Me values significantly increased, the mean upper incisors inclination values decreased significantly(p < 0.05). Non Extraction Group:In both age groups, the mean ANS-Me values increased significantly from T0 to T1(p < 0.05). In the 14-18 age group, the increase in the mean upper adenoid thickness, tongue length,PNSP, softpalate thickness and vertical airway length values was significant(p < 0.05). In the male patients, the mean U1xL1 value decreased significantly(p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The premolar teeth extraction performed in the patients receiving orthodontic treatment did not affect airway dimensions to a high extent.It was determined that the position of the hyoid bone and tongue length was not affected in the patients with premolar extraction and non extraction.

Abstract
Introduction: Several orthodontic problems should already be treated at an early age to prevent the necessity of future complex and expensive procedures. Scientific evidence suggests that posterior crossbites, mild to moderate Class III, as well as certain Class II malocclusions, open bites and arch length discrepancies can benefit from simple, but efficient interceptive therapy. Objective: To summarize the existing evidence-based literature on early orthodontic treatment, and to illustrate its application and effectiveness by showcasing multiple clinical examples. Conclusion: Early short-term interceptive orthodontic treatment with simple appliances, in the deciduous or early mixed dentition phase, can efficiently correct certain malocclusions and help to either reduce the complexity or even avoid the necessity of complex and expensive procedures during puberty. For certain patients with significant arch length discrepancy the concept of serial extractions should be part of the orthodontic armamentarium.

Does Early Treatment Improve Clinical Outcome of Class II Patients? A Retrospective Study. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:children9020232. [PMID: 35204952 PMCID: PMC8870289 DOI: 10.3390/children9020232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The present study was carried out to evaluate the benefits from one-phase Class II Early Treatment (ET) using extraoral forces and functional appliances but without intermaxillary forces and eventual lower leeway space preservation compared to two-phase Class II Late Treatment (LT) with the need for extractions and full fixed appliances as well as lower incisor proclination. The ET group (n = 239, 115 M, 124 F, mean age 10.6 ± 1.2 years), with first premolars not in contact and the second deciduous lower molars preserved, was compared to the LT group (n = 288, 137 M, 151 F, mean age 12.4 ± 1.5 years). The ET group was first treated with headgears, growth guide appliances, or Teuscher activators and, in borderline crowding cases, with lower space maintenance by a lingual arch, lip bumper, or fixed utility arch. The LT group and the second phase of ET were treated with full fixed appliances including intermaxillary forces such as Class II elastics or noncompliance devices; headgear and a growth guide appliance were also used. Cephalograms and plaster models were taken before (T1) and after treatment (T2) to calculate cephalometric changes and space balance discrepancies. The differences between T1 and T2 were analyzed by a t-test for normally distributed data and by the Mann-Whitney Test for nonnormally distributed data at a level of p < 0.05. The groups were defined as statistically homogeneous at T1. A statistical analysis showed that the ET group (mean treatment time 35.3 ± 13.3 months) was significantly associated with a 22.2% lower extraction rate, 15.9% less need for a full fixed appliance, and more than 5° less incisor proclination in the nonextraction cases compared to the LT group (mean treatment time 25.9 ± 8.1 months); treatment time significantly increased in the ET group compared to the LT group. Early Class II treatment resulted in a significant treatment effort reduction in more than one third of the patients and less lower incisor proclination, even if it clinically increased treatment time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The beneficial effect of the extraction of primary canines in the resolution of incisor irregularity and its side effects are controversial. AIM To systematically review the effects of the extraction of primary canines in incisor irregularity and dental arch morphology. DESIGN Controlled non-randomized (non-RCT) and randomized clinical trials (RCT) evaluating children treated with extraction of primary canines compared with those without intervention. RESULTS A total of 984 articles were found, of which two RCTs and one non-RCT met the inclusion criteria. Both had a low RoB. A high level of evidence was observed through GRADE. A meta-analysis showed the extraction of primary canines produced a significant decrease in incisor irregularity (95% CI: -3.56, -2.09 mm). This decrease, however, was associated with a reduction of arch length (95% CI: -1.58, -0.94 mm), intermolar width (95% CI: -0.61, -0.22 mm), and overjet (95% CI: -075, -018). A mild overbite increase was found (95% CI: 0.10, 0.76 mm). CONCLUSION A high level of evidence showed that the extraction of primary canines improved incisor irregularity in the mixed dentition. Side effects included reduced arch length and intermolar width. A slight reduction in overjet and a mild increase in overbite were also observed. When they are not part of the treatment goal, these occlusal changes can be prevented by installing a lingual arch.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on the acceleration of orthodontic movements, deriving from its biostimulating and regenerative capacity on soft tissues, consequent to the increase in differentiation, proliferation, and activity of cells that are involved with alveolar bone remodeling. The present randomized controlled trial was conducted on six patients who required extractive orthodontic therapy because their ectopic canines had erupted. A total of eight canines were analyzed, four of which received laser irradiation (i.e., experimental group). Two weeks after the extractions, all canines of the experimental and placebo groups were distalized simultaneously and symmetrically with the laceback retraction technique. The PBMT protocol consisted of four cycles of laser applications, one each on days 0, 3, 7, and 14 of the study, with session treatment durations of 2–4 min. The results of the descriptive analysis on the distal displacement speed of the canines after 1 month of follow-up indicate an average displacement of 1.35 mm for the non-irradiated group and 1.98 mm for the irradiated group. Through inferential analysis, a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between the average speed of the irradiated canines and the control canines. The low energy density laser used in this study, with the parameters set, was found to be a tool capable of statistically significantly accelerating the distal displacement of canines.

Abstract
Background & objectives Previous studies have found that first premolar extractions during orthodontic treatment may alter the upper airway dimensions. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of second premolar extraction during orthodontic treatment on the dimensions of the upper airway in a sample of female adults. Methods Twenty-nine female adult patients with ages between 18 and 30 years old and incisor bimaxillary protrusion were included in this study. They were treated with comprehensive orthodontic treatment which included the extraction of four second premolars. Pre and post cephalometric radiographs were analyzed using Dolphin imaging software for changes in tongue length and height, soft palate thickness and length, the superior, middle, and inferior airway space, and vertical airway length. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize measurements. Student’s paired t-test was preformed to compare the pre- and post-test mean values of the dimensions. Results A significant increase in the vertical airway length was observed after the extraction of the second premolars (p = 0.02). The soft palate length showed a tendency towards an increase that did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.053). No other significant changes in the airway soft tissue measurements were observed. The proclination and protrusion of the upper and lower incisors were significantly decreased compared to pre-treatment measurements. Interpretation & conclusions. Orthodontic treatment involving the extraction of all four second premolars in females with bimaxillary protrusion increases the vertical airway length, which is the amount of distance between base of the tongue and posterior nasal spine. No other significant alterations in the upper airway measurements were observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine changes in occlusal curves and dental tipping occurring from mandibular second premolar serial extraction, early extraction of deciduous mandibular second molars with missing second premolars, and late second premolar extraction compared with untreated controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Information was collected from 85 subjects at three time points: T0, prior to serial extraction; T1, after serial extraction and drift prior to orthodontic treatment, and pretreatment for the late premolar extraction patients; and T2, posttreatment. Untreated age- and gender-matched controls were used for comparison. Three occlusal curves were measured on digitized mandibular casts, and dental tipping was assessed using lateral cephalograms. RESULTS At T0, there were no significant differences among groups. At T1, there was significant steepening of Monson's sphere and the curve of Wilson between early and late extraction and control groups. At T2, the differences in Monson's sphere and the curve of Wilson were fully corrected. At T1, there were significant differences in the tipping of mandibular 6's, 4's, and 3's between the early extraction groups compared with the late extraction and control groups. At T2, these differences in tipping were fully corrected. There were no differences in mandibular incisor tipping between groups at T1 or T2. CONCLUSIONS Serial extraction produced steeper occlusal curves and significant tipping of mandibular first molars, first premolars, and canines after extraction and physiologic drift (T1). Accentuated occlusal curves and tooth tipping were fully corrected following orthodontic treatment (T2). Mandibular incisor position was unchanged by serial or late second premolar extraction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated and compared the completeness of reporting of abstracts of orthodontics systematic reviews before and after the publication of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Abstracts Checklist (PRISMA-A). METHODS Abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in orthodontics published in PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases before March 23, 2018, that met the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, were evaluated using the 12 items of PRISMA-A, scoring each item from 0 to 2. Abstracts were classified into 2 groups: before and after publication of the PRISMA-A checklist. Three calibrated evaluators (intraclass correlation coefficient and kappa > 0.8) assessed the scores for compliance with the checklist. The number of authors, country of affiliation of the first author, performance of meta-analysis, and topic of the article were recorded. A regression analysis was performed to assess the associations between abstract characteristics and the PRISMA-A scores. RESULTS Of 1034 abstracts evaluated, 389 were included in the analysis. The mean PRISMA-A score was 53.39 (95% CI, 51.83-54.96). The overall score for studies published after the publication of the checklist was significantly higher than for studies published before (P ≤ 0.0001). The components returning significantly higher scores after publication of PRISMA-A were title (P = 0.024), information from databases (P = 0.026), risk of bias (P ≤ 0.0001), included studies (P ≤ 0.0001), synthesis of results (P ≤ 0.0001), interpretation of results (P = 0.035), financing and conflict of interest (P ≤ 0.0001), and registration (P ≤ 0.0001). These results showed the positive effect of PRISMA-A had on the quality of reporting of orthodontics systematic reviews. Nevertheless, the poor adherence revealed that there is still need for improvement in the quality of abstract reporting. CONCLUSIONS The quality of reporting of abstracts of orthodontic systematic reviews and meta-analyses increased after the introduction of PRISMA-A.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the outcome of early treatment in Class I, II, and III malocclusions based on the reduction of weighted Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scores.
Materials and Methods:
Two hundred thirty subjects (female = 105; male = 125) selected from 400 cases were divided into three groups based on their malocclusions (Class I, II, and III). The PAR index was evaluated prior to early treatment (T0), at the end of phase I (T1), and after completion of phase II therapy (T2). The reliability of overall PAR scores was assessed by Bland-Altman plot and intraclass correlation coefficient. The starting age, total weighted PAR scores and their changes after phase I and II treatments, treatment time, and the percentage of correction in the three different malocclusions were assessed by repeated-measures analysis of variance with post hoc analysis. The level of significance was set at P < .05.
Results:
More than 30% reduction of the weighted PAR scores and less than 10 points of the remaining weighted PAR scores were observed in all malocclusion groups at T1. The Class III group had the highest percentage of correction during phase I treatment.
Conclusions:
Early treatment effectively reduced the complexity of Class I, II, and III malocclusions and accounted for 57%, 64%, and 76% of the total correction, respectively, after phase I treatment, as indicated by an overall reduction in weighted PAR scores. The Class III group responded most favorably to early treatment followed by the Class II group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine differences in arch forms derived from the root apices locations between individuals with <2 mm maxillary crowding and controls. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION The Department of Orthodontics, Pusan National University. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 102 patients in the control group and 95 patients in the crowding group. MATERIALS AND METHODS X, Y and Z coordinates of the tip of the crowns and the apex of the root of the maxillary teeth (except second molars) were determined on the CBCT images. The acquired three-dimensional (3D) coordinates were converted into two-dimensional (2D) coordinates via projection on the palatal plane, and the Procrustes analysis was employed to process the converted 2D coordinates. The mean shape of the arch form derived from the location of the tip of the crowns and the apex of the root was compared between groups using the statistical shape analysis. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference (P = .046) between the groups for the mean shape of the root apex arch form, but the difference was small and clinically irrelevant as it is minor compared to the degree of crowding. CONCLUSIONS Maxillary arch from at the level of the maxillary apices only shows minor differences between crowded and non-crowded dentitions.

Abstract
This clinical case report presents the nonsurgical orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal Class II malocclusion, posterior crossbite, anterior open bite, accentuated dental discrepancies in both arches, and an odontoma. The proposed treatment involved maxillary expansion, extraction of atypical maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular first molars, and intrusion of maxillary teeth with the aid of mini-implants. The results obtained with these procedures included good tooth alignment, normal overbite and overjet, removal of the odontoma, and a harmonious smile. In complex cases, an accurate diagnosis is the key to a favorable outcome.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic criteria of orthodontic treatment success in a group of patients with crowded teeth position and a neutral occlusion. The study included 150 patients (123 female and 27 male) with the average follow-up of 10.02±2.88 years and average retention phase of 6.15±2.98 years. Teeth positions, dental arches form, occlusal contacts and periodontal status were studied. Dentition changes after orthodontic correction should be considered as a result of adaptive compensatory balance. The resultant force acting on teeth and the direction of it determine displacement of teeth. The leading relapse precontidion induced by the occlusal forces was the interference of the canines, mandible deviation and asymmetry, muscle tone disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study patients' acceptance of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics as a treatment option. METHODS Adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment were asked to complete two sets of questionnaires; the first set included questions about age, sex, and level of education and general questions about orthodontic treatment; and the second set was related to the corticotomy-assisted orthodontics. Before answering the corticotomy questions, a brief description of the clinical procedure was explained and photographs of an actual procedure were shown. RESULTS A total of 150 subjects were approached and 129 (86%) agreed to answer the questionnaires (72 male and 57 female patients). Of these, only 3.1% did hear about corticotomy and 7.8% selected corticotomy instead of extraction. Fear from the surgery (53.2%) was the most frequent reason for not selecting corticotomy followed by fear from pain (36.9%). The acceptance of corticotomy between males and females was similar. No relationship was found between the level of education and prior knowledge of the procedure, P=0.857. Prior knowledge about corticotomy was not a factor in selecting it as a treatment option (P=0.556) to reduce the treatment time (P=0.427). CONCLUSION The acceptance of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics as a treatment option was low. Fear from the surgery was the main reason for not selecting it. The acceptance of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics was not related to patient's level of education or sex.
