Abstract
Purpose
To determine whether pre-treatment orthodontic case complexities were associated with their treatment outcomes in each category of malocclusion.
Materials and methods
Two hundred orthodontic cases treated with edgewise appliances from university clinic that satisfied requirements for the certification were studied. The Discrepancy Index (DI) and the Objective Grading System (OGS) were calculated. The relationship between these measurements was evaluated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Results
The mean DI score was 23.67 ± 10.30, and the mean OGS score was 19.92 ± 6.92. Statistically, there was only a weak and insignificant correlation between the DI and OGS (r = 0.055, p > 0.05). Buccolingual inclinations and interproximal contacts were components that had the highest and lowest mean OGS scores respectively.
Conclusion
Malocclusion complexity was not associated with orthodontic treatment outcomes. Cases which underwent two-phase treatment were found to have the most complex pre-treatment malocclusion and also the most unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. The OGS component with the highest discrepancies was buccolingual inclinations.
期刊介绍:
Orthodontic Waves is the official publication of the Japanese Orthodontic Society. The aim of this journal is to foster the advancement of orthodontic research and practice. The journal seeks to publish original articles (i) definitive reports of wide interest to the orthodontic community, (ii) Case Reports and (iii) Short Communications. Research papers stand on the scientific basis of orthodontics. Clinical topics covered include all techniques and approaches to treatment planning. All submissions are subject to peer review.
