Investigation of Dentoskeletal and Soft Tissue Effects of Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device and Jasper Jumper Appliances in Class II Malocclusions
Öz
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate skeletal, dental and soft tissue
effects of Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FRD) and Jasper Jumper appliances in
correction of Class II malocclusion.
Methods: 33 patients were divided into two groups as treated with Forsus FRD
appliance (18 subjects: 8 females, 10 males-mean age: 15.79 ± 1.50 years) and
treated with Jasper Jumper appliance (15 subjects: 9 females, 6 males-mean age:
16.12 ± 1.58 years), randomly. Initial and final lateral cephalometric radiographies
were traced and analyzed digitally. The data were analyzed statistically.
Results: In the assessment of the skeletal parameters, both two groups had similar
outcomes and there were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05). In both
groups ANB, Convexity angles and Wits values decreased and maxillomandibular
discrepancy improved on sagittal plan. Maxillary incisors were proclined in Forsus
FRD group, and maxillary incisors were retroclined in Jasper Jumper treated group
and there was a statistically significant difference between groups (p<0.05). In the
assessment of mandibular incisor, proclination occurred in both two groups. In the soft
tissue evaluation, facial profile was improved through upper lip retrusion and lower lip
protrusion and there were no statistically significant differences between groups in
these values (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The skeletal and soft tissue effects of the Forsus FRD and Jasper
Jumper appliances were similar while there were some differences in dental effects.
Some factors such as skeletal age, cephalometric values should be taken into
consideration when making a choice about the fixed functional appliance.
