Abstract Objectives Fixed orthodontic appliances may increase the risk for caries and white spot lesions. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine long-term associations between both in patients. Materials methods 103 patients aged 36.6 ± 6.5 years whose fixed appliance treatment had finished at least 15 ago were included. Current clinical data photographs (T3), panoramic x-ray from before (T0), after debonding (T1) 2-year follow-up (T2) available. Parameters interest dentine...
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the plaque control effectiveness and handling an interdental brush with a short curved handle triangular cross-section head (IDB) long straight in combination monotufted (MTB). In split-mouth design, 110 multibracket patients were randomly assigned group A using MTB first third quadrants IDB second fourth or B who proceeded other way around. crossover performed after 3 months. index (PI) scored every 6 weeks for period 24 weeks,...
Abstract Objective: The aim of this retrospective pilot study was to analyze and compare the short-term long-term changes Herbst treatment in Class II division 1 subjects retrognathic prognathic facial type. Materials Methods: subject material comprised 10 (mean SNA = 74.5°, SNB 70.4°, ML/NSL 41.1°) 16 86.7°, 81.5°, 25.1°) treated with appliance for an average period 7 months. Lateral head films from before (T1), immediately after (T2), 12 months (T3), 39 (T4) were analyzed SO-analysis...
The aim of this study was to assess dentoskeletal changes following Herbst–Multibracket treatment in adult Class II division 1 patients. subject material comprised 15 subjects exhibiting a molar relationship more than or equal 0.5 cusps bilaterally 1.0 unilaterally and an overjet 6.0 mm. average time 9 months (Herbst phase) plus 13.9 (Multibracket phase). Lateral headfilms from before (T1), after (T2), at least 24 retention (T3) were analysed using the 'sagittal-occlusal analysis' (Pancherz,...
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the effectiveness of Class II subdivision Herbst nonextraction treatment and its short-term stability retrospectively. Materials Methods: Twenty-two (SUB: right-left molar difference ≥0.75 cusp width) 22 symmetric patients (SYM: width bilaterally) were matched according to gender pretreatment handwrist radiographic stage. The mean duration subsequent multibracket phase was 8 months 14 months, respectively. retention period amounted 36 months. Dental casts from...
The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse and compare the post-treatment occlusal changes Class II division 2 treatment with Herbst appliance in early adolescent, late adult subjects. subjects were 37 patients (19 females 18 males) treated at Orthodontic Department, University Giessen, Germany. All mixed or permanent dentition exhibited a molar relationship ≥0.5 cusp width (CW) bilaterally ≥1.0 CW unilaterally, an overbite (OB) >3.0 mm, two upper central incisors retroclined....
White spot lesions (WSLs) are a frequent side-effect of multibracket appliance treatment. The effect local fluoridation on post-orthodontic WSL is however inconclusive. Assessment changes in response to weekly 1.25 per cent fluoride gel application after Randomized, single-centre, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study. Patients with not less than 1 (modified score or 2) upper front teeth debonding. Professional fluoride/placebo during weeks 1–2; self-administered home (weeks...
To analyse and compare the effects during Herbst treatment combined with a lingual (completely customized) or labial (straight-wire) multibracket appliance (MBA), special regard to lower incisor gingival recessions. Eighteen Class II:1 patients [overjet ≥ 5mm, II molar relationship 0.5 cusp widths (CW) bilaterally 1.0 CW unilaterally, median age 16.0 years] treated in combination MBA (group LINGUAL) were retrospectively matched (molar skeletal maturity) 18 LABIAL). Study models intraoral...
Abstract Aims Orthodontic care and its effectiveness have increasingly become the focus of political public attention in recent past. Therefore, this multicenter cohort study aimed to report about orthodontic treatments Germany identify potential influencing factors. Methods A total 586 patients from seven German centers were screened for study, which 361 recruited at end their treatment. Of these, 26 had missing models and/or treatment information. Thus, 335 participants included. The...
Abstract Objectives In light of the growing interest in orthodontic care and its effectiveness Germany, part 2 this multicenter cohort study evaluated patient-reported outcomes such as oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL), hygiene habits, health beliefs, potential influencing factors. Methods Of 586 patients screened from seven German centers, data 343 were analyzed for study. At end their treatment, participants filled out a questionnaire either long version Oral Health Impact Profile...
The aim was to assess the long-term effects of Class II malocclusion treatment with Herbst appliance on pharyngeal airway (PA) width in comparison untreated individuals Classes I and malocclusion.Lateral cephalometric radiographs 13 male patients from before (T1) after (T2) as well end growth (T3) were retrospectively analyzed compared two age- gender-matched samples (n = 13) or malocclusion. PA dimensions measured using parameters p (narrowest distance between soft palate posterior wall) t...
The aetiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is controversial and post-orthodontic long-term TMD data Class II populations are scarce.To analyse the (≥15 years) effects Herbst-multibracket appliances (MBA) treatment (Tx) on signs symptoms TMD.All patients (University Giessen, Germany) who underwent Herbst-MBA Tx (end active ≥ 15 years ago), could be located agreed to participate in a recall. Available records from before (T0) after (T1) were used for comparison with recall (T2). All...
White spot lesions (WSL) frequently occur as side-effect of multibracket appliance treatment. The clinical effects local fluoridation on post-orthodontic WSL and oral health development are however inconclusive. In vivo monitoring changes in response to weekly 1.25 per cent fluoride gel application after Randomized, single-centre, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study. Patients with not less than 1 (modified score or 2) upper front teeth debonding. Professional...
Abstract Objective: To determine whether Herbst treatment is more efficient in adolescent than adult Class II division 1 subjects. Materials and Methods: All patients with a full secondary dentition who had been treated at the orthodontic department of University Giessen appliance between 1990 2000 were considered. The complete records 77 available. According to their skeletal maturity, as assessed on hand-wrist radiographs, subjects divided into an group (MP3-F MP3-H; n = 49; mean age 13.5...
Objectives:To analyse and compare the effects during Herbst treatment (Tx) when combined with lingual (completely customized) or labial (straight-wire) multibracket appliances (MBA).
