Compliance and Effectiveness in Cervical Headgear

Abstract

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between headgear wear duration and correction of skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion in preadolescent patients.

Materials and Methods: The study material consisted of pre and post treatment lateral cephalograms, and actual headgear wear hours calculated from data recorded monthly by Compliance Science System and Affirm smart headgear modules, (Compliance Science System (CSS) and Affirm smart headgear modules, Ortho Kinetics, Vista, California, USA) of 30 patients (14 female and 16 male) treated with cervical headgear for 12 months. The mean age was 10.43 ± 1.07 years. Initial and progress cephalograms were analyzed according to skeletal and dental landmarks to evaluate treatment effect of the appliance. The actual number of hours of appliance wear was calculated by data from timer modules collected every monthly visit. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 24.0.

Results: Results showed that a restriction of sagittal growth of maxilla was achieved in the group using the cervical headgear over 12 hours, while a sagittal growth was observed in the group using the headgear for less than 12 hours daily.

Conclusion: The cervical headgear is still used in orthodontics to restrict the forward growth of maxilla in Class II division 1 patients with a normal or low angle profile. By means of objective data for monthly appliance usage, this study showed that in order to achieve the targeted results the cervical headgear should be used at least 12 hours daily.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, genç bireylerde, servikal headgear kullanım süresi ile iskeletsel ve dental Sınıf II maloluzyonun tedavi sonucu ile arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir.

Materyal ve Metod: Çalışma materyali, servikal headgear ile tedavi olan ortalama yaş aralığı 10.43 ± 1.07 olan 30 hastanın (14 kız and 16 erkek) tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası lateral sefalometrik radyografileri ve Compliance Science System and Affirm smart headgear modül, (Compliance Science System (CSS) and Affirm smart headgear modules, Ortho Kinetics, Vista, California, USA) ile kaydedilen aylık aparey kullanma sürelerini gösteren verilerden oluşmuştur. Apareyin tedavi üzerindeki etkinliği hastaların tedavi öncesi ve sonrası laterakl sefalamoterik radyografilerinin üzerinde belirlenen iskeletsel ve dental noktalar ile yapılan ölçümler ile belirlenmiştir. Aparey kullanma süreleri her ay kontrol randevusunda modüllerin okutulması ile edlde edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS 24.0 programı kullanılara yapılmıştır.

Bulgular: Apareyi 12 saatten fazla kullanan grupta maksillanın sagittal yön büyümesinin frenlendiği gözlenirken, aparey, 12 saatten daha az kullanan hastalarda sagittal yönde maksillar büyümenin olduğu gözenmiştir.

Sonuç: Servikal headgear Sınıf II bölüm 1 malokluzyon tedavisinde maksillar büyümeyi frenlemek amacı ile kullanılan bir apareydir. Servikal headgear kullanımında istenilen hedefe erişilmesi için apareyin günde en az 12 saat kullanılması gerektiği objektif veriler kullanılarak ortaya konulmuştur.
