A Cephalometric Comparison of Twin Block and Bionator Appliances in Treatment of Class II Malocclusion

Abstract: BackgroundClass II malocclusion is one of the most common orthodontic problems. In cases of class II malocclusion with mandibular deficiency, functional appliances often are used with the intent of stimulating mandibular growth. Bionator and twin block are two of the more popular functional appliances. The aim of this study was to compare the treatment outcomes of these two appliances using cephalometric radiographs.Material and MethodsCephalometric radiographs of 33 patients who had class II division I malocc… Show more

“…However, control of maxillary growth, enhancement of mandibular growth, and modification of dentoalveolar systems are the expected results following functional appliance therapies. Many investigations revealed that the most significant effects of functional therapies are the dentoalveolar modifications (8) since these appliances are supported by teeth rather than the maxillary and mandibular bone. Placement of functional appliances causes displacement of condyle in the glenoid fossa, and stimulates growth of mandibular growth sites meaning condylar cartilage, condylar neck area and ramus (9).…”

“…The results of the recent studies comparing bionator and Twin Block have shown comparable results between the two appliances regarding dentoalveolar and mandibular position; though Twin Block was more efficient in retarding the maxillary forward growth (8). Other studies have also showed a significant increase in the mandibular length using Twin Block (12).…”

“…Twin-blok ve Bionator apareyleri ile tedavi edilen mandibular yetersizlik kaynaklı Sınıf II Bölüm 1 maloklüzyona sahip 33 hastanın tedavi başı ve sonu sefalometrik radyografilerini değerlendirdikleri araştırmala-rında; ANB, NA-Pog, bazal ve gonial açılar haricinde her iki apareyin de sefalometrik değerlerinde önemli bir farklılık görülmediğini belirtmişlerdir. 19 ANB açısındaki (Twin-blok: 1,65 0 , Bionator: 1,25) 0 ve NA-Pog değerindeki (Twin-blok: 3,31, Bionator: 2,63) değişimin ise Twin-blok apareyinde daha anlamlı olduğunu ve profil konveksitesinde anlamlı bir düzelme gözlendiğini bildirmişlerdir.…”

“…As maloclusões dentárias são anormalidades de crescimento e desenvolvimento, que acometem desde a distribuição dos dentes na maxila e mandíbula, até os ossos e músculos da face [1]. Estas são originadas de fatores genéticos e ambientais [2], sendo consideradas problemas de saúde pública mundial e a terceira prioridade no cuidado bucal.…”
