Soft tissue facial profile changes after orthodontic treatment with or without tooth extractions in Class I malocclusion patients: A comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the soft tissue facial profile changes in Class I malocclusion patients after orthodontic treatment with or without tooth extraction.

Methods

Forty lateral cephalograms of 20 individuals with Angle Class I malocclusion submitted to orthodontic treatment were included in this study. The individuals were divided in two groups: no tooth extraction (Group A) and extraction of four first premolars (Group B). Cephalometric measurements related to the soft tissue facial profile (Nasolabial Angle, Mentolabial Angle, Interlabial Angle, Facial Convexity Angle, Total Facial Convexity Angle, Lower Face Angle, MAFH/LAFH Proportion, Lower Face Vertical Proportion, H.NB Angle, Ricketts E Line) were collected in two stages (pre-treatment and post-treatment). The Student T, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests analyzed the results. The significance level was 5%.

Results

Among the cephalometric variables evaluated, only the measurements Interlabial Angle and H.NB Angle showed statistically significant changes during treatment. Increase was observed in the Interlabial Angle and decrease in H.NB Angle in both groups, resulting in a less convex facial profile with lip retraction.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that changes in the soft tissue facial profile are similar in Class I patients treated with or without tooth extraction.

Project description:ObjectiveThis systematic review evaluated the available evidence regarding the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue effects of orthodontic camouflage (OC) versus orthodontic-orthognathic surgical (OOS) treatment in borderline class III malocclusion patients.MethodsEligibility criteria. The included studies were clinical trials and/or follow-up observational studies (retrospective and prospective). Information sources. PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane, and LILACS were searched up to October 2021. Risk of bias. Downs and Black quality assessment checklist was used. Synthesis of results. The outcomes were the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue changes obtained from pre- and post-cephalometric measurements.ResultsIncluded studies. Out of 2089 retrieved articles, 6 were eligible and thus included in the subsequent analyses. Their overall risk of bias was moderate. Outcome results. The results are presented as pre- and post-treatment values or mean changes in both groups. Two studies reported significant retrusion of the maxillary and mandibular bases in OC, in contrast to significant maxillary protrusion and mandibular retrusion with increased ANB angle in OOS. Regarding the vertical jaw relation, one study reported a significant decrease in mandibular plane inclination in OC and a significant increase in OOS. Most of the included studies reported a significant proclination in the maxillary incisors in both groups. Three studies reported a significant proclination of the mandibular incisors in OOS, while four studies reported retroclination in OC.ConclusionInterpretation. The OSS has a protrusive effect on the maxillary base, retrusive effect on the mandibular base, and thus improvement in the sagittal relationship accompanied with a clockwise rotational effect on the mandibular plane. The OC has more proclination effect on the maxillary incisors and retroclination effect on the mandibular incisors compared to OOS. Limitation. Meta-analysis was not possible due to considerable variations among the included studies. Owing to the fact that some important data in the included studies were missing, conducting further studies with more standardized methodologies is highly urgent. Registration. The protocol for this systematic review was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, No.: CRD42020199591).Clinical relevanceThe common features including skeletal, dental, and soft tissue characteristics of borderline class III malocclusion cases make it more difficult to select the most appropriate treatment modality that can be either OC or OOS. The availability of high-level evidence-systematic reviews-makes the clinical decision much more clear and based on scientific basis rather than personal preference.

Project description:BackgroundOrthognathic surgery can be carried out using isolated mandibular or maxillary movement and bimaxillary procedures. In cases of moderate skeletal malocclusion, camouflage treatment by premolar extraction is another treatment option. All these surgical procedures can have a different impact on the soft tissue profile.MethodsThe changes in the soft tissue profile of 187 patients (Class II: 53, Class III: 134) were investigated. The treatment approaches were differentiated as follows: Class II: mandible advancement (MnA), bimaxillary surgery (MxS/MnA), upper extraction (UpEX), or Class III: maxillary advancement (MxA), mandible setback (MnS), bimaxillary surgery (MxA/MnS), and lower extraction (LowEX) as well as the extent of skeletal deviation (moderate Wits appraisal: - 7 mm to 7 mm, pronounced: Wits <- 7 mm, > 7 mm, respectively). This resulted in five groups for Class II treatment and seven groups for Class III treatment.ResultsIn the Class II patients, a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between UpEX and moderate MnA was found for facial profile (N'-Prn-Pog'), soft tissue profile (N'-Sn-Pog'), and mentolabial angle (Pog'-B'-Li). In the Class III patients, a statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) occurred between LowEX and moderate MxA for facial profile (N'-Prn-Pog'), soft tissue profile (N'-Sn-Pog'), upper and lower lip distacne to esthetic line (Ls/Li-E-line), and lower lip length (Sto-Gn'). Only isolated significant differences (p < 0.05) were recognized between the moderate surgical Class II and III treatments as well between the pronounced Class III surgeries. No statistical differences were noticed between moderate and pronounced orthognathic surgery.ConclusionsWhen surgery is required, the influence of orthognathic surgical techniques on the profile seems to be less significant. However, it must be carefully considered if orthognathic or camouflage treatment should be done in moderate malocclusions as a moderate mandibular advancement in Class II therapy will straighten the soft tissue profile much more by increasing the facial and soft tissue profile angle and reducing the mentolabial angle than camouflage treatment. In contrast, moderate maxillary advancement in Class III therapy led to a significantly more convex facial and soft tissue profile by decreasing distances of the lips to the E-Line as well as the lower lip length.
