Brief Summary

In this study it was aimed to examine the changes in mandibular bone after functional treatment by using fractal dimension (FD) and cortical thickness (CT) analysis.

Conditions

Orthopedic Disorder

Keywords

Functional orthodontic appliances; fractal dimension; panoramic radiographs; orthodontics

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The effect of functional treatment on the cortical structure of the mandible will be investigated by measuring cortical thickness.

  the effects of functional treatment with cortical thickness to cortical bone structure

  for one months from the beginning of the study

• Thanks to fractal dimension analysis, the effect of functional treatment on the trabecular bone structure of the mandible will be examined.

  the effects of functional treatment with fractal analysis to trabecular bone structure

  for one week from the beginning of the study

Study Arms (2)

Group 1. The treatment group (T)

The treatment group comprised of 30 cases treated with functional appliance for one year in puberty.

Group 2. The control group (C)

The control group consists of 12 patients who had insufficient oral hygiene; didn't take any orthodontic treatment for one year.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 11 Years - 13 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

The database was taken from the archives between 2017 and 2019 in Recep Tayyip Erdogan University. The study will consist of 30 cases treated with the functional appliance and 12 control patients who had insufficient oral hygiene were not treated for one year. After providing oral care cases were treated orthodontically.

You may qualify if:

• Males and females were matched.
• Treatment period of the treatment group was 1 year.
• Observation period of the control group was also 1 year.
• All groups had Class II malocclusion (ANB ≥ 5) with the retrognathic mandible in the period of puberty and had no systemic problem and impacted teeth.
• Monoblock and twin-block appliances were applied to the treatment group.
• Patients in the control group had insufficient oral hygiene and after oral-care was provided, they were taken into treatment.
• \. Radiographic images that do not have sufficient diagnostic quality
