Background: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate and compare the changes due to extraction and non-extraction treatments after twin-block therapy.
Methods: Forty Class II division 1, mandibular retrognathic patients were included in the study. Group I comprised 14 girls and 6 boys who has the indication of mandibular premolar extraction after twin-block therapy. Group II comprised 12 girls and 8 boys treated with twin-block appliance and fixed orthodontic therapy without extraction. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained from the patients at the onset of the treatment (T1), at the end of the use of the twin-block appliance (T2) and at the end of active treatment (T3). The Paired Sample t test and Independent Sample t test was used for statistical analyses.
Results: After twin-block therapy, SNB and lower incisor angles increased in both groups while ANB and convexity decreased. In the extraction group, lower lip moved backwards, upper and lower incisors were retracted during the T2-T3 period. In the non-extraction group, only the lower lip vertical length increased. Significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of changes in lower and upper incisor positions/inclinations and lower lip thickness in T2-T3 period (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Even though extraction and non-extraction treatments after twin-block make a difference in the final lower and upper incisor positions and inclinations, they do not create a significant difference in terms of their effects on soft tissues.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, twin-blok apareyinin ve sonrasında yapılan çekimli ve çekimsiz tedavilerin sert doku, yumuşak doku ve keser eğimleri üzerinde meydana getirdiği değişimleri değerlendirmek ve karşılaştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza alt çene geriliği olan 40 Sınıf II bölüm 1 maloklüzyonlu hasta dahil edilmiştir. Grup I, twin-blok tedavisi sonrası çift taraflı alt birinci küçük azı dişi çekimi endikasyonu konulan 14 kız ve 6 erkek (ortalama yaş: 12,21± 1,12) hastadan oluşmuştur. Grup II, twin-blok tedavisi ve çekimsiz sabit tedavi gören 12 kız ve 8 erkek (ortalama yaş= 13.32± 1,02) hastadan oluşmuştur. Hastalardan tedavi başında (T1), twin-blok sonrasında (T2) ve tedavi sonunda (T3) lateral sefalometrik röntgenler alınmıştır. Röntgenler üzerinde sert doku, yumuşak doku ve keser konumları/eğimleri ile ilgili açısal ve çizgisel ölçümler yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz için bağımsız t testi ve eşleştirilmiş t testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Twin-blok ile her iki grupta SNB ve alt keser açıları artarken, ANB ve konveksite azalmıştır. Çekimli grupta T2-T3 döneminde alt ve üst keserler retrakte olmuştur ve alt dudak geri gitmiştir. Çekimsiz grupta ise sadece alt dudak vertikal uzunluğu artmıştır. İki grup arasında T2-T3 döneminde alt ve üst keser konum ve eğimleri ile alt dudak kalınlığında oluşan değişimler açısından önemli fark saptanmıştır (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Twin-blok sonrası planlanan çekimli ve çekimsiz tedaviler nihai alt ve üst keser konum ve eğimleri açısından bir farklılık oluştursa bile yumuşak doku üzerine olan etkileri açısından önemli bir faklılık yaratmamaktadır.
