Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare skeletodental changes between early and late treatment groups using modified C-palatal plates (MCPP) and long-term retention outcomes in hyperdivergent Class II adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one hyperdivergent Class II patients were divided into four groups according to treatment modality and treatment timing: group 1, early treatment with MCPP (n = 16; 9.9 ± 0.9 years); group 2, late treatment with MCPP (n = 19; 12.3 ± 0.8 years); group 3, early treatment with headgear (HG; n = 18; 9.6 ± 0.8 years); and group 4, late treatment with HG (n = 18; 12.1 ± 1.2 years). Lateral cephalograms were taken and skeletal and dental variables were measured. For statistical analysis, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and multiple regression were performed. RESULTS The early MCPP group showed a more significant decrease in mandibular plane angle than the late MCPP group did, and vertical control was more efficient in the early group than in the late group. In the MCPP groups, both FMA and SN-GoGn were increased with late treatment but decreased with early treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .01). The early-treatment MCPP group had a significant decrease in SN-GoGn of 0.6° compared with an increase of 1.7° in the early treatment HG group (P < .01). Posttreatment stability of both the early and late MCPP groups was maintained in long-term retention. CONCLUSIONS Early MCPP showed more significant vertical control than late MCPP. However, there was no difference in long-term stability between early and late groups.

J World Fed Orthod 2024; 13:78-85. [PMID: 38155063 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejwf.2023.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the soft tissue effects of Herbst appliance in Class II malocclusion patients treated in three different craniofacial growth phases: prepubertal (PRE), circumpubertal (CIR), and postpubertal (POS). METHODS In total, 95 patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion previously treated with a Herbst appliance were analyzed. Through the cervical vertebral maturation stages method, patients were allocated into three groups depending on the growth craniofacial phase at the beginning of treatment: PRE, CIR, and POS. Seventeen cephalometric measures were evaluated from each lateral radiograph before and after Herbst therapy using the Radiocef 2 software (Radio Memory, Belo Horizonte). Intragroup and intergroup treatment changes were compared statistically using a paired t test and MANOVA test, respectively. RESULTS Soft tissue thickness changes were related only to mandible; all three mandibular measurements (L1_LL, B_B', and Pog_Pog') showed thickening for the PRE group ranging from 0.92 mm (Pog_Pog') to 2.02 mm (B_B'), and only lower lip thickened overtime for the POS group (L1_LL = 0.99 mm). Soft and hard tissue pogonion displaced anteriorly, but only the soft tissue showed differences among groups; PRE group presented more anterior displacement than POS group (3.61 mm and 1.39 mm, respectively). Hard and soft tissue facial convexity decreased more in the PRE and CIR groups than in the POS group. Mentolabial sulcus depth reduced more in the PRE (1.07 mm) and CIR (1.29 mm) groups than in the POS (0.55 mm) group. Horizontal movement of the skeletal and soft pogonion presented a moderate-high positive correlation (r = 0.783), and hard and soft facial convexity showed a moderate-low positive correlation (r = 0.403). CONCLUSIONS Herbst appliance therapy produces soft tissue improvements in the three phases of craniofacial growth, being greater in patients in the PRE and CIR phases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare differences in outcome in skeletal and dental parameters in hypo- and hyperdivergent Class II patients after extraction of upper first premolars and comprehensive orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS 37 Class-II-patients with dental camouflage treatment were divided into a hypo- (n = 18) or a hyperdivergent (n = 19) group depending on the mandibular plane angle (hypo: < 34° or hyper: ≥ 34°). Lateral cephalograms were available before (T1) and after (T2) treatment and were analyzed with customized measurements. Data from a growth survey served as a control and were used to calculate the actual treatment effect. Data were analyzed by one-sample Student's t-tests and independent Student's t-tests. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS The measurements showed similar changes in both groups. The effects were mainly dentoalveolar. Hypodivergent patients showed an almost equal increase in anterior and posterior facial height, while hyperdivergent patients only showed an increase in anterior facial height. CONCLUSIONS In hyperdivergent patients, the anterior facial height increases despite camouflage treatment. This indicates a tendency towards bite opening and backward rotation of the mandible. Hypodivergent patients do not experience deepening of the bite. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In hyperdivergent patients with upper first premolars extraction the anterior facial height increased differently than in hypodivergent patients. This should be considered if a bite opening is a possible contraindication to treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Class II treatment with mandibular retrusion often involves the Herbst appliance due to its efficiency and low requirement of cooperation. Despite its advantages, it causes side effects concerning the occlusal plane and pogonion in terms of clockwise rotation that hinder the desired mandibular advancement for hyperdivergent patients. In this study, we will use a newly designed Herbst appliance, and a protocol that is accompanied by TADs for vertical control to avoid maxillary clockwise rotation. We hypothesise that the effect of the Herbst appliance with the vertical control approach will be beneficial for maintaining or even decreasing the skeletal divergence in hyperdivergent class II patients compared with conventional Herbst treatment. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a randomised, parallel, prospective controlled trial that will study the efficacy of Herbst with or without vertical control in children with hyperdivergent skeletal class II malocclusion. A total of 44 patients will be enrolled and randomised in a ratio of 1:1 to either Herbst treatment or Herbst treatment with vertical control. Participants will be recruited at the Shanghai Stomatological Hospital, Shanghai, China. The primary endpoint is the change in the angle indicating the occlusal plane and Sella-Nasion plane from baseline (T0) to the primary endpoint (T2) on cephalometric measurements by lateral X-ray examination. Important secondary outcomes include the root length of the anterior teeth, and the assessment score of the Visual Analogue Scale Questionnaire, etc. Safety endpoints will also be evaluated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been approved by the ethics committee of the Shanghai Stomatological Hospital (Approval No. (2021) 012). Before enrolment, a qualified clinical research assistant will obtain written informed consent from both the participants and their guardians after full explanation of this study. The results will be presented at national or international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2100049860, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare skeletal and dentoalveolar changes after orthodontic treatment of class II malocclusion in patients with hypodivergent and hyperdivergent growth patterns through cast splint fixed functional appliances (FFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS N = 42 out of n = 47 patients with mandibular plane angles < 34° or ≥ 34° were divided into a hypodivergent (n = 24) and a hyperdivergent (n = 18) group. All patients received a single-step mandibular advancement protocol through an FFA. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed after initial leveling and alignment (T1) and immediately after FFA removal (T2). The therapeutic effect was calculated through comparison with age-matched controls from a growth survey. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS Hypodivergent and hyperdivergent patients showed different treatment outcomes, but significant differences existed only for overbite and interincisal angle. Nearly all measurements suggested similar treatment-related changes for both groups with exception for dentoalveolar parameters. CONCLUSION Treatment with FFA causes similar skeletal and dentoalveolar effects in hypodivergent and in hyperdivergent patients. The correction of overjet and molar relationship is mainly caused by dentoalveolar changes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Hyperdivergent patients do not respond unfavorably to FFA treatment compared to hypodivergent patients. Lower incisor protrusion occurs more pronounced in hypodivergent patients. The growth pattern ought to be considered when choosing FFA for class II treatment.

Abstract
Differential patterns of craniofacial growth are important sources of variation that can result in skeletal malocclusion. Understanding the timing of growth milestones and morphological change associated with adult skeletal malocclusions is critical for developing individualized orthodontic growth modification strategies. To identify patterns in the timing and geometry of growth, we used Bayesian modeling of cephalometrics and geometric morphometric analyses with a dense, longitudinal sample consisting of 15,407 cephalograms from 1,913 individuals between 2 and 31 years of age. Individuals were classified into vertical facial types (hyper-, normo-, hypo-divergent) and anteroposterior (A-P) skeletal classes (Class I, Class II, Class III) based on adult mandibular plane angle and ANB angle, respectively. These classifications yielded eight facial type-skeletal class categories with sufficient sample sizes to be included in the study. Four linear cephalometrics representing facial heights and maxillary and mandibular lengths were fit to standard double logistic models generating type-class category-specific estimates for age, size, and rate of growth at growth milestones. Mean landmark configurations were compared among type-class categories at four time points between 6 and 20 years of age. Overall, morphology and growth patterns were more similar within vertical facial types than within A-P classes and variation among A-P classes typically nested within variation among vertical types. Further, type-class-associated variation in the rate and magnitude of growth in specific regions identified here may serve as targets for clinical treatment of complex vertical and A-P skeletal malocclusion and provide a clearer picture of the development of variation in craniofacial form.

Abstract
Objectives:
The objective of the study is to determine the relationships between ramus height and occlusal planes (OPs) in Han Chinese individuals with normal occlusion.
Materials and Methods:
Two hundred and four participants with normal occlusion were included and their cephalograms were analyzed. The ramus height (Ar-Go), Frankfort horizontal plane-posterior OP (FH-POP), FH-anterior OP (FH-AOP) and FH-OP, anterior and posterior cranial base length, SNA, SNB, ANB, Frankfort-mandibular plane angle, SN-MP, jaw angle, and mandibular body length were measured on the subjects’ cephalograms. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated among continuous variables. The ramus height was considered as dependent variable and the OPs as independent variables. Age, sex, and other cephalometric parameters were considered as possible confounding factors. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine whether the relationships were significant.
Results:
The FH-POP and FH-OP were moderately associated with ramus height, while the FH-AOP showed a weak association (P < 0.001). After adjusting age and sex, FH-POP, FH-AOP, and FH-OP showed significant negative associations with ramus height (β = −0.36, −0.28, and −0.37, respectively, P < 0.001). The OP flattened with the ramus height increased. After adjusting all the confounding factors, FH-POP and FH-OP showed significant negative associations with ramus height. The ramus height increased by 0.19 mm/1° flattening of FHPOP (β = −0.19, P = 0.002).
Conclusion:
After adjust age, sex, and other possible confounding factors, the FH-POP and FH-OP were associated with the ramus height. The flattening of FH-POP was associated with the increase of ramus height. The results should be treated with caution since it’s a cross-sectional study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine if temporomandibular joint (TMJ) compressive stresses during incisor biting (1) differed between growing children over time, and (2) were correlated with Frankfort Horizontal-mandibular plane angle (FHMPA, °) and ramus length (Condylion-Gonion (Co-Go), mm). MATERIALS AND METHODS Three-dimensional anatomical geometries, FHMPA and Co-Go, were measured longitudinally from lateral and posteroanterior cephalographs1 of children aged 6 (T1), 12 (T2), and 18 (T3) years. Geometries were used in numerical models to estimate subject-specific TMJ eminence shape and forces for incisor bite-forces of 3, 5, and 8 Newtons at T1, T2, and T3, respectively. TMJ compressive stresses were estimated via two steps: First, TMJ force divided by age-dependent mandibular condylar dimensions, and second, modified by loading surfaces' congruency. Analysis of variance and Tukey honest significant difference post-hoc tests, plus repeated measures and mixed effects model analyses were used to evaluate differences in variables between facial groups. Regression analyses tested for correlation between age-dependent compressive stresses, FHMPA, and Co-Go. RESULTS Sixty-five of 842 potential subjects had T1-T3 cephalographs and were grouped by FHMPA at T3. Dolichofacial (FHMPA ≥ 27°, n = 36) compared to meso-brachyfacial (FHMPA< 27°, n = 29) subjects had significantly larger FHMPA at T1-T3, shorter Co-Go at T2 and T3 (all P < .01), and larger increases in TMJ compressive stresses with age (P < .0001). Higher compressive stresses were correlated with larger FHMPA (all R2 ≥ 0.41) and shorter Co-Go (all R2 ≥ 0.49). CONCLUSIONS Estimated TMJ compressive stress increases from ages 6 to 18 years were significantly larger in dolichofacial compared to meso-brachyfacial subjects and correlated to FHMPA and Co-Go.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To validate the use of the sagittal distance between ANS and Pg (ANSPg) as a measure of favorable and unfavorable anteroposterior skeletal relations and to identify multivariate cephalometric measures that could be used to predict favorable and unfavorable relations at 15 years of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS This longitudinal study included 226 untreated adolescents evaluated at 10 and 15 years of age. Patients were grouped as "favorable" or "unfavorable" based on the ANSPg (measured parallel to S-N -7°) at 15 years of age (ANSPg15). ANSPg15 was validated based on its correlation with changes in ANSPg between 10 and 15 years of age, as well as its relationships with established measures of growth potential. Multiple regression and discriminant analyses were performed to predict ANSPg15 from measures at 10 years of age. RESULTS ANSPg15 and the change in ANSPg between 10 and 15 years of age were significantly correlated (R= -0.661; P ≤ .001), with 77% of patients in whom relationships improved (ie, distance decreased) exhibiting favorable relationships at 15 years of age. Established measures of growth potential were significantly (P < .001) correlated with ANSPg15 and showed significant differences between patients with favorable and unfavorable relations. Multiple regression showed that the Y-axis, ANS-N-Pg, and symphyseal angle measured at 10 years explained approximately 60% (R = 0.78) of the variation in ANSPg15. Based on these three variables, discriminant function correctly predicted favorable or unfavorable relations of ANSPg15 77% of the time. CONCLUSIONS ANSPg15 was a valid measure for determining favorable and unfavorable anteroposterior skeletal relationships that could be predicted with moderately high levels of accuracy.

Abstract
Simple Summary One of the most common orthodontic problems, Class II malocclusion, may lead to an increased risk of dentoalveolar trauma, psychosocial issues, and a possible compromised quality of life. Oftentimes clinicians use normative standard values to which each patient is compared to identify deviations from the norm, in order to determine a patient-specific treatment plan. Large inter-individual and inter-ethnic variability, however, is sometimes not considered. In our study, we compared the cephalometric characteristics between two different ethnic groups (South Indian and Vietnamese) with the phenotype of Class II malocclusion in the hope of better understanding this variation and its implications in treatment planning to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Abstract The dental, skeletal, and soft-tissue characteristics of a particular malocclusion can differ based on ethnicity, race, age, sex and geographical location with Class II malocclusion being one of the most prevalent malocclusions encountered in orthodontic clinical practice. The broad understanding of the characteristics of vertical skeletal and dental parameters in patients with Class II malocclusion can help clinicians to identify patterns and variations in the expression of this phenotype for better treatment outcomes. Hence, we compared the craniofacial characteristics of skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion traits from Indian and Vietnamese individuals to analyze the vertical skeletal and dental patterns in both population groups. The sample comprised of lateral cephalograms from 100 young adults with Class II malocclusion, of which fifty (25 males and 25 females) were from South India and the other 50 age- and sex-matched adults from Vietnam. The lateral cephalometric radiographs were digitized into anonymous image files and were traced and assessed for 16 vertical skeletal and dental parameters. The ANB angle was greater in males (+1.4 deg; p < 0.001) and females (+1.9 deg; p < 0.001) in the South Indian population. The Vietnamese males had a larger mandibular plane angle, articular angle, anterior facial height and lower anterior facial height compared to the Indian males. The Vietnamese females had larger mandibular plane and articular angles compared to the Indian females. The skeletal class II malocclusion was more severe in the South Indian compared to the Vietnamese adults. The Vietnamese sample showed a generalized tendency towards a more vertical skeletal growth pattern and in males this pattern seemed to be due to the dentoalveolar component. The Vietnamese females showed a tendency towards a vertical growth pattern, but without apparent contribution by the dentoalveolar component.

OBJECTIVES To compare the dental and skeletal treatment effects after total arch distalization using modified C-palatal plates (MCPPs) on adolescent patients with hypo- and hyperdivergent Class II malocclusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group included 40 patients with Class II malocclusion (18 boys and 22 girls, mean age = 12.2 ± 1.4 years) treated with MCPPs. Fixed orthodontic treatment started with the distalizing process in both groups. Participants were divided into hypo- or hyperdivergent groups based on their pretreatment Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FMA) ≤22° or ≥28°, respectively. Pre- and posttreatment lateral cephalograms were digitized, and 23 variables were measured and compared for both groups using paired and independent t-tests. RESULTS The hyper- and hypodivergent groups showed 2.7 mm and 4.3 mm of first molar crown distalizing movement, respectively (P < .001). The hypodivergent group had a slight 2.2° crown distal tipping of first molars compared with 0.3° in the hyperdivergent group. After distalization, the FMA increased 3.1° and 0.3°, in the hypodivergent and hyperdivergent groups, respectively (P < .001). SNA decreased in the hypodivergent group, while other skeletal variables presented no statistically significant differences in the changes between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The hypodivergent group showed more distal and tipping movement of the maxillary first molar and increased FMA than the hyperdivergent group. Therefore, clinicians must consider vertical facial types when distalizing molars using MCPPs in Class II nonextraction treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the hypotheses that mechanobehavior scores (MBS) were correlated with mandibular ramus lengths (Co-Go) and differed between facial phenotypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects gave informed consent to participate. Co-Go (mm), mandibular plane angles (SN-GoGn, °), and three-dimensional anatomy were derived from cephalometric radiography or cone beam computed tomography. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) energy densities (ED) (mJ/mm3) were measured using dynamic stereometry and duty factors (DF) (%) were measured from electromyography, to calculate MBS (= ED2 × DF,) for each TMJ. Polynomial regressions, K-means cluster analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey post-hoc tests were employed. RESULTS Fifty females and 23 males produced replete data. Polynomial regressions showed MBS were correlated with Co-Go (females, R2 = 0.57; males, R2 = 0.81). Cluster analysis identified three groups (P < .001). Dolichofacial subjects, with shorter normalized Co-Go, clustered into two subgroups with low and high MBS compared to brachyfacial subjects with longer Co-Go. SN-GoGn was significantly larger (P < .03) in the dolichofacial subgroups combined (33.0 ± 5.9°) compared to the brachyfacial group (29.8 ± 5.5°). CONCLUSIONS MBS correlated with Co-Go within sexes and differed significantly between brachyfacial and dolichofacial subjects.

Influence of Vertical Facial Growth Pattern on Herbst Appliance Effects in Prepubertal Patients: A Retrospective Controlled Study. Int J Dent 2020; 2020:1018793. [PMID: 32399031 PMCID: PMC7201793 DOI: 10.1155/2020/1018793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2019] [Revised: 11/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The Herbst device is widely used for correction of class II malocclusions; however, most of the researches carried out on the Herbst appliance in literature do not take into account patients with a different mandibular divergence. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Herbst on dental and skeletal structures and to evaluate possible influence of vertical facial growth patterns. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on lateral cephalograms of 75 growing patients (mean age: 9.9 ± 1.9 years) with class II malocclusion treated with Herbst. Subjects were divided into 3 groups using the mandibular divergence index (SN and GoMe angle). Cephalometric parameters were evaluated using the modified SO (sagittal occlusion) Pancherz's analysis. A statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate differences among groups using ANOVA. Results Our study showed differences in response to treatment depending on patient's facial vertical growth pattern. Cranial base angle and mandibular rotation were significantly different (p < 0.05) between hypodivergent patients and normodivergent patients and between hypodivergent and hyperdivergent subjects. Conclusion Hypodivergent patients increased their mandibular divergence during treatment to a greater extent than normodivergents; moreover, hyperdivergent patients exhibited a decreased mandibular divergence at the end of the treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare three-dimensional (3D) skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of the Herbst and Pendulum appliances followed by fixed orthodontic treatment in growing patients. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A sample of 35 adolescents with cone-beam computed tomography scans obtained prior to Herbst and Pendulum treatment (T1) and immediately after fixed appliance treatment (T2). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with Class II malocclusion was assessed retrospectively and divided into two treatment groups: Herbst group (n = 17, age: 12.0 ± 1.6 years) and Pendulum group (n = 18, age: 12.1 ± 1.5 years), with a mean treatment duration of 2.8 ± 0.8 years and 2.5 ± 0.7 years, respectively. Reconstructions of the maxillomandibular and dentoalveolar regions and data in 3D were obtained relative to cranial base, maxillary and mandibular regional superimpositions. Treatment outcomes (T2-T1) were compared between both groups using t tests for independent samples (P<.05). RESULTS Significant increase in mandibular length was observed in the Herbst group (7.3 ± 3.5 mm) relative to the Pendulum group (4.6 ± 4.5 mm). Inferior and anterior displacements of Pogonion were 2.2 mm and 1.6 mm greater in the Herbst group, respectively. The mesial displacement of the lower first molars was significantly greater in the Herbst group (1.9 mm). The upper first molars had contrasting results in sagittal displacement, with 0.6 ± 1.7 mm of distal displacement with the Pendulum and 1.4 ± 2.1 mm of mesial displacement with the Herbst. Lower incisor projection and proclination were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS The Herbst and Pendulum appliances followed by comprehensive orthodontic treatment effectively corrected Class II malocclusion in growing patients, but with differing skeletal and dentoalveolar effects.

Abstract
Introduction: Considering the large number of fixed functional appliances, choosing the best device for your patient is not an easy task. Objective: To describe the development of fixed functional appliances as well as our 20-year experience working with them. Methods: Fixed functional appliances are grouped into flexible, rigid and hybrid. They are different appliances, whose action is described here. Four clinical cases will be reported with a view to illustrating the different appliances. Conclusions: Rigid fixed functional appliances provide better skeletal results than flexible and hybrid ones. Flexible and hybrid appliances have similar effects to those produced by Class II elastics. They ultimately correct Class II with dentoalveolar changes. From a biomechanical standpoint, fixed functional appliances are more recommended to treat Class II in dolichofacial patients, in comparison to Class II elastics.
