Item Pharyngeal airway and hyoid bone position changes of skeletal anchored Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device and activator appliances(2021) Ince-Bingol, Sinem; Kaya, Burcak; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7014-0784; 33449194Objectives To evaluate the effects of miniplate anchored Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (MAF) and activator treatments in the pharyngeal airway dimensions and hyoid bone position. Materials and methods Thirty-eight patients with mandibular retrusion who were treated with either MAF or activator were selected retrospectively and compared with an untreated control group. The data of 114 lateral cephalograms, comprising those taken before treatment (T1) and at the end of functional treatment (T2), were evaluated with regard to their linear, angular, and area measurements. Results The mandibular length increased and the hyoid bone moved forward with both treatments (P < 0.05). The horizontal change in the hyoid bone position with MAF treatment was correlated with changes in the point B and ANB angle. Increases of 1.8 mm, 1.4 mm, and 1.8 mm in the pharyngeal airway dimensions were obtained at the levels of the second, third, and fourth cervical vertebra, respectively, with the MAF treatment. On the other hand, an increase of 1.9 mm was found at the level of the fourth cervical vertebra with the activator treatment. The greatest vertical movement in the Menton and the highest increase in the oropharyngeal area were observed in the MAF group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Both the MAF and activator treatments caused favorable maxillomandibular changes; however, the MAF treatment provided a greater increase in the oropharyngeal area according to both the increase in mandibular length and the change in the vertical position of the mandible. Clinical relevance Functional appliances were found to be useful in increasing the pharyngeal airway dimensions in the shortterm. The skeletal anchored fixed functional appliance caused a greater increase in the oropharyngeal airway area that may be beneficial for Class II patients who carry a risk of having respiratory problems.Item Treatment efficiency of activator and skeletal anchored Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device appliances(2020) Ince-Bingol, Sinem; Kaya, Burcak; Bayram, Burak; Arman-Ozcirpici, Ayca; 0000-0002-7014-0784; 32671559Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate the treatment efficiency of miniplate anchored Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (MAF) as compared with the activator appliance. Materials and methods Mandibular retrognathia was treated with two methods, the MAF group (8 girls, 11 boys, mean age 13.03 +/- 0.69 years) and the activator group (7 girls, 12 boys, mean age 12.68 +/- 0.73 years). An untreated control group (9 girls, 10 boys, mean age 12.95 +/- 0.73 years) was constructed to eliminate growth-related changes through the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation Legacy Collection. Data of 114 lateral cephalograms were analyzed. Results The inhibition of the maxillary growth was greater in the MAF group, whereas forward displacement of the mandible was higher in the activator group (P < 0.05). Sagittal maxillomandibular relation was improved similarly in both treatment groups (P < 0.05). Mandibular length was increased in both treatment groups with the highest increase in the activator group (P < 0.05). Retroclination of the incisors was observed in the MAF group (P < 0.05). The upper lip was retruded in the MAF group and lower lip was protruded in the activator group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The activator created greater mandibular changes, whereas the MAF provides somewhat smaller mandibular changes due to the restriction caused by retroclined maxillary incisorsItem Treatment of an adult skeletal class II patient with a modified surgery-first approac(2020) Ince-Bingol, Sinem; Arman-Ozcirpici, Ayca; 32354667This case report presents an 18-year-old female patient who had skeletal Class II relationship due to a mandibular retrognathia, decreased lower anterior facial height and proclined incisors with increased overjet and overbite. Her main complaints were protruding upper incisors and decreased distance between the tip of the nose and chin. A modified surgery-first approach was performed with two months of presurgical orthodontics to achieve 8 mm mandibular advancement. The total treatment time was 11 months. Improved aesthetics, a balanced facial profile and a stable and functional occlusion were obtained in less treatment time due to accelerated tooth movement.
