Orthodontic-surgical treatment: neuromuscular evaluation in open and deep skeletal bite patients

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of this study was to compare electromyographic data of two groups of patients (open and deep skeletal bite) before and after surgical orthodontic treatment.MethodsAll patients who underwent orthognathic surgery at the Department of Orthodontics (University of Milan) were subjected to periodic electromyographic evaluation of the masticatory muscles (masseter and anterior temporal muscles) and to electrokinesiographic evaluation of mandibular movements. The sample comprised 72 patients (35 open… Show more

“…[17][18][19][20][21] The analysis of results, independently from the considered arch, shows that the discrepancies reported for the virtual diagnostic protocol are, on average, lower than those obtained in the group receiving the nonvirtual diagnostic protocol. Presurgical templates allow the orthodontist to more easily achieve the objectives set in the diagnostic phase.…”

“…A slight mandible clockwise rotation aids in the resolution of the sagittal discrepancy. It is important to underline that the correction of skeletal class III occlusion happens during the active phase of therapy, while the correction of skeletal class II occlusion happens during the retention phase [ 31 , 32 ]. This change agrees with the findings in the studies of Wertz [ 7 ], Cleall [ 11 ], Linder-Aronson and Lingren [ 21 ], Davis and Kronman [ 33 ], Hicks [ 34 ], and Gardner and Kronman [ 35 ].…”

“…Facial growth and craniofacial morphology are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Changes in the intensity of growth and development of soft tissues and muscle function can influence alveolar development, causing malocclusion in the vertical plane [85].…”
