A Cephalometric Evaluation of the Biobloc Technique Using Matched Normative Data

Abstract

There was both a statistically and a clinically significant reduction in overjet (p < 0.001), overbite (p < 0.001) and angle ANB (p < 0.001) with an increase in angle SNB (p < 0.001). None of the other cephalometric parameters measured showed a significant change except for upper incisor proclination (p < 0.05) and ArGoMe angle (p < 0.05) but these were not clinically significant.

Changes in airway patency and sleep-breathing in healthy skeletal Class II children undergoing functional Activator therapy

“…The consensus around the dental community is that skeletal Class II is a complex condition that may be corrected using different alternatives of treatment such as fixed, Andresen, Twin Block, Herbst, Bio bloc or headgear appliances ( 21 , 22 , 23 ). Concerning the present study, it was decided to evaluate the influence that the Andresen activator has not only physically on the upper airway, but also how these changes relate to sleep–breathing patterns as assessed with a PM.…”
