Class III Malocclusion and ALT-RAMEC

Face MaskRapid Maxillary Expansion1 more

Diverse viewpoints exist regarding the correlation between the conventional rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and facemask approach and the alternative RME and facemask hybrid technique (Alt-RAMEC) in terms of the degree of maxillary protraction. The findings of the study may offer a novel approach to protocol selection based on the anomaly's degree of severity. The objective of this investigation is to assess and contrast the skeletal and dentoalveolar outcomes of three distinct Alt-RAMEC techniques.

Orthognathic Surgeries and Pharyngeal Airway Space

Mandibular Prognathism

twenty-four patients with dentoskeletal deformity of class III will be divided equally into two groups and will be subjected to orthognathic surgeries group A; will be treated by mandibular setback surgery while group B will be treated with bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in the form of mandibular setback and maxillary advancement surgeries. the total pharyngeal airway will be measured on lateral cephalometric radiographs, integrating retro-palatal and retro-glossal area, and statistically will be compared preoperative, immediate postoperative, and at 6 months post-surgically

The Effect of Deliberate Hypotension on QTc, Tp-e Intervals and Heart Rate Variability

Mandibular PrognathismMandibular Retrognathism

Deliberate hypotension is defined as lowering the systolic blood pressure to 80-90mmHg, or the mean blood pressure to 50-65mmHg. This technique is usually employed for operations that have a high risk of intraoperative hemorrhage, such as orthognathic surgery. Several different regimens are used to lower the patient's blood pressure, such as vasodilators, autonomic nervous system inhibitors, opioids and inhalation anesthetics. However, the effects that these agents have on the QTc and Tp-e intervals during deliberate hypotension is not known. Virtually every kind of anesthetic is reported to have some effect on the QTc and Tp-e intervals. Because orthognathic surgery usually takes 3-4 hours to complete, the amount of anesthetics and drugs used to maintain low blood pressure is not small. Therefore, the effect that these agents may have on the QTc and Tp-e intervals may not be negligible. The investigators of the present study found that the high dose of commonly used hypotensive agents tend to prolong these variabilities to some extent. This study will be able to provide insight as to which hypotensive anesthesia regimen has the least effect on the QTc and Tp-e intervals, and therefore will be helpful in minimizing cardiovascular risks of deliberate hypotensive anesthesia.

Effect of Bone-anchored Protraction on Maxillary Growth in the Young Child

Maxillary HypoplasiaMalocclusion1 more

Class III malocclusions may originate in a retrognathic maxilla, a prognathic mandible or both. Young patients with class III malocclusion and maxillary hypoplasia are conventionally treated with a protraction facemask in order to stimulate forward growth of the upper jaw. This treatment option is often inducing unwanted side effects including mesial migration of the teeth in the upper jaw and clockwise rotation of the mandible. Because skeletal effects are often difficult to achieve with this approach, more pronounced class III malocclusions cannot be addressed by face mask therapy. These children cannot be treated during childhood and end up in major orthognathic surgery at full-grown age. To be able to treat also the more pronounced class III malocclusion and to minimize dentoalveolar compensations new treatment methods were developed which uses skeletal anchorage.

MARPE in Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate

Palatal Expansion TechniqueCleft Lip and Palate2 more

The objective of this randomized controlled study will be to evaluate the dental and skeletal effects of maxillary protraction with a facemask, associated with MARPE and Class III elastics in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) with maxillary retrusion, compared to HYRAX type maxillary expanders. The investigators will examine differences in treatment times, along with skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes.

Intraoral Device vs Facial Mask for Class III Treatment

Class III MalocclusionDentofacial Anomalies1 more

The aim of this randomized controlled trail is to compare the efficacy of an intraoral device (the Carriere® Motion 3D™ Class III Appliance) with the facial mask for the early treatemnt of Class III malocclusion. This is a monocentric, parallel, controlled trial with blinded examiner.

Efficiency of Canine Retraction Using Different Reactivation Intervals

Class II Division 1 MalocclusionClass III Malocclusion3 more

Canine retraction after 1st premolar extracion into the extraction space is a routine treatment in orthodontics. Orthodontic patients requiring first premolar extraction, canine retraction and maximum anchorage were recruited for this randomized controlled trial. A search of the literature did not indicate the ideal frequency of elastomeric chain reactivation for optimum canine retraction. The study was approved by the ethical committee. The first premolars were extracted. Elastomeric chains were used to retract the canine distally into the 1st premolar space. The optimum reactivation interval was evaluated regarding the efficiency of treatment in terms of rate of canine retraction, canine tipping and rotation, root resorption and pain at the intervals of 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. Three dimensional imaging, as well as digital scanning were the methods for data collection.

Trial of Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy Induced Paresthesia Using Ultrasonic vs. Reciprocating...

Surgical ComplicationParesthesia8 more

The aim of this prospective study is to analyze the postoperative paresthesias experienced in patients who undergo bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) using an ultrasonic saw, versus a reciprocating saw. Patients included in the study are ages 15-45 scheduled to undergo BSSO surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. One side of the patient's mandible will be instrumented with either the Stryker Sonopet ultrasonic saw or traditional reciprocating saw, while the other side will receive the remaining intervention (determined via randomization on the day of surgery). Patient paresthesias will then be analyzed on each side for 3 months postoperatively (at postoperative days: 1, 7, 14, 28, and 84). Sensory examinations will be carried out by blinded examiners using von Frey hairs and two point discrimination testing. Patients will also subjectively rate their sensation on each side. The results will then be analyzed to determine if patient paresthesias, including the severity and duration, differed depending on which instrument was used, the ultrasonic or reciprocating saw.
