    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; 33449194
    Objectives 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.

    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; 32671559
    Objectives 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 incisors

    Treatment of Class II, Division 2 Malocclusion with Miniscrew Supported En-Masse Retraction: Is Deepbite Really an Obstacle for Extraction Treatment?
    (2017) Tuncer, Nilufer Irem; Ozcirpici, Ayca Arman; 30112498
    A 17-year-old female patient, whose chief complaint was her unpleasing smile, had skeletal and dental class II malocclusion, hypodivergent facial type with a severely increased overbite. Among the treatment options, upper-first-premolar extractions followed by miniscrew-supported en-masse retraction was the treatment of choice. After the initial levelling and alignment, miniscrews with 1.5- to 1.4-mm diameter and 7-mm lenght, were installed between the roots of the second premolars and the first molars, bilaterally. En-masse retraction was achieved on a 0.016x0.022-inch stainless steel archwire with 7-mm long power hooks placed distal to the lateral incisors, and with nickel-titanium (NiTi) closed coil springs exerting 250-gr of force per side. At the end of the treatment, deepbite, incisor inclinations and interincisal angle were corrected, and Class II molar relationship with good intercuspation was achieved. Upper 2-2, lower 3-3 retainers were bonded for retention. As a result, deepbite and Class II canine relationship was successfully corrected with simultaneous incisor intrusion and retraction using miniscrew-supported en-masse retraction.
