Should treatment of a Class II div. Malocclusion de classe 2. Orthodontists in a clinical practice are frequently confronted with Class II Division 1 malocclusions. La malocclusion de classe 2 consiste à un décalage de la mâchoire inférieure reculée par rapport à la mâchoire supérieure. Unsuccessful group (US) was defined as no improvement of overjet for last 6 months. However, it took long time to recruit patients so we decided to stop when 105 participants were involved in the study. In the successful group (S) no statistical significant difference in overjet changes were found between the AA and the PFA groups at any stages ( For the ITT group the sagittal molar relationship improved significantly ( Sagittal relationships of the dental arches in the AA and PFA groups before treatment (T0), at the end of treatment (T1), and 1-year post-treatment (T2).ITT, intention to treat; US, unsuccessful group; S, successful group; AA, Andresen activator; PFA, prefabricated functional appliance; rel., relationship. Les incisives supérieures peuvent parfois camoufler le décalage ce qui peut le rendre parfois plus difficile à diagnostiquer.La malocclusion de classe 2 nécessite assurément une correction à l’aide d’appareils orthodontiques. Comparison of pain perception, anxiety, and impacts on oral health-related quality of life between patients receiving clear aligners and fixed appliances during the initial stage of orthodontic treatment The lip seal improved in both the AA and the PFA groups.
The 12 general practitioners (GPs) engaged in the study as well as the 6 orthodontists were calibrated in the measurements of overjet, overbite, and Angle classification. However, this is the suggested practice for randomized, controlled trials, that is evaluating the average effect of treatment on the average patient. The Orthodontic Specialist Clinic in Gothenburg, Sweden coordinated the study and GPs treated all patient.6–14 years old patients with central incisors erupted;Increased overjet ≥6mm or less if lip incompetence was present;Patients with crossbite, severe crowding, agenesis, other malocclusions and syndromes were excluded.
The criteria of reduction of overjet to as low as 3mm could have affected the success rate.No difference in effectiveness could be shown between PFAs and AAs in correcting overjet, overbite, sagittal molar relation, and lip seal. Between 2007 and 2010, 105 patients agreed to participate in the study. According to a sample size analysis, 38 patients per group were required to obtain adequate power (80 per cent, at significance level Statistical analyses were done in SPSS for Windows 22.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Statistical significant difference was found between the groups in sagittal relation for ITT and S at T1. One hundred and five patients with an Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion and an overjet of ≥6mm were eligible for the study. All PFA were ordered from the same company ( The participants were instructed to use the appliance every night and 2 hours during daytime, 12–14 hours in total.

Eight patients were excluded due to various reasons and the sample consisted thus of 97 subjects (44 girls, 53 boys) with a mean age of 10.3 years.
The daytime wear could be divided into separate periods of at least 30 minutes. *Difference between treatment PFA and AA groups and improvement tested with Fisher’s Exact Test. Successful treatment outcome (overjet ≤ 3mm) was seen in 37 per cent of the subjects.
When the participant’s overjet had been reduced to ≤3mm, the treatment was regarded as successful and the patient then continued to wear the appliance as a retainer at night-time only, for 6 months. Improvement of overjet at every visit was defined as successful group (S).Flow chart of the participants in the study. The AA and PFA groups were merged due to no statistical significant difference between groups; before treatment (T0), at the end of treatment (T1) and 1-year post-treatment (T2).
