Evaluation of skeletal Class 2 patients with different vertical growth patterns

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cephalometric changes of untreated skeletal Class 2 patients with different vertical growth patterns. First group contains 17 patients,11 girls and 6 boys, who has optimum vertical growth pattern SN/GoGn 32±6˚ and 2nd group contains 17 patients, 9 girls and 8 boys, who has vertical growth pattern SN/GoGn > 38˚ . No statistical significant changes were observed in neither intragroup nor intergroup evaluation. In longitudinal studies which evaluate the changes in craniofacial structures of treated skeletal Class 2 malocclusions, there may be no need to classify the groups according to vertical growth pattern.

Değişik dik yön yüz büyüme paternine sahip iskeletsel sınıf 2 vakaların incelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, tedavi görmemiş farklı dik yön yüz büyüme paternine sahip iskeletsel Sınıf 2 bireylerin çeşitli sefalometrik değerlerinin gözlem süresinde değerlendirilmesi ve farklılıklarının tesbitidir. Çalışmaya, mandibular retrognatiyle karakterize iskeletsel Sınıf 2, Angle sınıf II bölüm 1 dişsel ilişkide olan 34 birey dahil edildi. Birinci grup, optimum SN/GoGn 32±6˚ 11 kız, 6 erkek 17 bireyden oluşurken, 2. Grup SN/GoGn açısı 38˚ den büyük olan, 9’ u kız 8’ i erkek toplam 17 yüksek açılı bireyden oluşmaktadır. Her iki grupta da, gözlem dönemi süresince hem grup içi, hem de gruplararası görülen değişimler istatistiksel olarak önem arz etmemiştir. İskeletsel Sınıf 2 fonksiyonel tedavilerin kraniyofasiyal yapıda oluşturduğu değişimlerin inceleneceği longitudinal çalışmalarda farklı dik yön yüz boyutlarına sahip bireylerin ayrı ayrı kontrol grupları altında toplanmasına gerek kalmadığı sonucuna ulaşılabilir
