Journal Title: Forum Ortodontyczne - Year 2011, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
[b] Aim[/b]: evaluation of soft tissue in orthodontic patients with increased overjet. [b]Material:[/b] A group of 82 patients treated in the LEK-MED Clinic in Warsaw and in the Department of Orthodontics in Olomouc. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination and additional diagnostic examination, an individual plan of orthodontic tratment was established for each patient. The mean treatment time was 2 years. The patients were subjected to lateral cephalograms made in maximal intercuspation with lips relaxed before and after the treatment. The group of patients was divided into 2 groups in terms of the the overjet value before the treatment. Group A included patients with the overjet up to 5 mm, whereas group B consisted of patients with the overjet greater than 5 mm. Selected dental and soft tissue parameters before and after an active phase of the orthodontic treatment were evaluated in each patient. [b]Method[/b]: Involved a retrospective comparison of the dental and soft tissue parameters analysis on lateral cephalograms. The parameters were measured again after 2 weeks. The mean value for each parameter was used. Results: In group A no statistically relevant changes in the position of soft tissue were observed. In group B statistically relevant changes in the position of upper and lower lips occured. [b]Conclusions[/b]: Lateral cephalogram analysis is very useful in evaluating facial esthetics as well as in planning orthodontic treatment. Greater changes in the incisors and the soft tissue profile position were observed in group B. (Orthod. Forum 2011; 7: 140 -150). Received: 13.09.2011 Accepted: 14.09.2011
