Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to record the OBF changes after surgical correction of mandibular prognathism in patients with or without increased vertical skeletal dimensions at different time intervals (T0: before surgery; T1: at debond; T2: 3 months post-retention).


Clinical Trial Description

Forty-two patients who presented to orthodontic clinics with severe Class III skeletal malocclusion and were already into orthodontic preparation for orthognathic surgery were selected to participate in thestudy.

Patients were allocated into one of 2 groups as follows: - Group 1: - Class III patients with increased vertical relationship Included 22 patients (8 males, 14 females).These patients were scheduled for bimaxillary surgical procedures (Maxillary advancement and mandibular setback with posterior maxillary impaction) to correct the antero-posterior and vertical skeletal discrepancies.

Group 2: - Class III subjects with normal vertical relationship Included 20 patients (8 males, 12 females).These patients were scheduled for mandibular setback surgical procedure (with no posterior maxillary impaction) to correct the antero-posterior skeletal discrepancy.

Diagnostic records (orthopantomogram, lateral cephalogram, study casts, clinical photographs) were taken for all subjects before surgery. The same records were taken post surgery just before fixed orthodontic appliance debond.

The included patients were treated by orthodontic teaching staff and postgraduate residents at orthodontic clinics/JUST using pre-adjusted edgewise fixed appliance (3M Gemini Uniteks, 0.022" MBT prescription brackets).

Bite force was measured bilaterally in the first molar region using a portable occlusal force gauge (GM10, Nagano Keiki, Tokyo, Japan), that consisted of a hydraulic pressure gauge and a biting element made of a vinyl material encased in a polyethylene tube. 3 OBF measurements were recorded on each side and incisally with a 15 second rest between each bite, the average of the three readings was used. Three OBF measurements were considered in the analysis: the maximum OBF (MOBF) achieved by the subject, the averaged OBF on molars (AOBF), and the OBF at the incisal region (IOBF).

Number of teeth in contact was measured using double-sided articulation paper strips that was smeared with a thin layer of petroleum jelly prior to its' use so as to improve the visualization of the markings of the contact points that existed in a subject's intercuspal position. ;
