The PAR Index was used to evaluate treatment and long-term post-retention results obtained from 50 Class II division 1 malocclusions. Dental casts were used to record the occlusions pre- and post-treatment as well as 1 and 10 years post-retention. The results suggested a high treatment standard, as indicated by mean percentage PAR score reduction. However, maintenance of post-treatment results 1 and 10 years post-retention was only achieved in 60 and 38 per cent of cases, respectively. The major factor involved in this deterioration appeared to be late lower anterior crowding.

A study was carried out of Class II, Division 1 cases treated by the Andresen appliance. Results were determined in terms of overjet reduction and the reasons for failure were recorded for those cases who did not complete their treatment. Growth and treatment changes were assessed cephalometrically. It was found that those cases showing the more complete overjet reduction also tended to show more growth in facial height and a faster rate of growth in facial height when compared with the less successfully treated cases.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the facial profile changes of orthodontic treatment with extraction of two upper first premolars, from the perspective of orthodontists, dentists and lay people. METHODS: Facial profiles of radiographs taken before and after treatment of 70 patients with Class II, division 1 malocclusion were traced. The silhouettes of the 70 patients were randomly assembled in an album with, being two profiles on each sheet of the same patient. Then, 30 orthodontists, 30 dentists and 30 lay people chose the more esthetic facial profile (A or B), and the amount of change they perceived between the two profiles before and after treatment, according to a visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS: The results revealed that 83 examiners preferred the post-treatment profiles, and only three dentists and four lay people chose the profiles pre-treatment more frequently. Thus, the orthodontists often chose the profiles after treatment, followed by dentists, with no statistically significant differences found between dentists and lay people. There were significant differences within groups in the preference of pre- and post-treatment profile. Furthermore, the three groups of evaluators indicated that pre and post-treatment profiles did not differ substantially. CONCLUSIONS: The treatment of Class II, division 1 malocclusion with extraction of two first premolars has a positive effect on facial profile esthetics.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To determine the relative effects of Herbst appliance therapy in hypo- and hyperdivergent patients. Materials and Methods: The treated group included 45 growing Class II, division 1, patients treated with stainless steel crown Herbst appliances, followed by fixed edgewise appliances. The untreated control group consisted of 45 Class II, division 1, subjects, matched to the treated sample based on Angle classification, age, sex, and pretreatment mandibular plane angle (MPA). Subjects were categorized as hypo- or hyperdivergent based on their MPAs. Pre- and posttreatment cephalograms were traced and superimposed on cranial base and mandibular structures. Results: The primary effect of the Herbst in terms of maxillomandibular correction was in the maxilla. It significantly restricted maxillary growth, producing a “headgear effect.” Mandibular treatment changes depended on divergence. Hyperdivergent patients experienced a deleterious backward true mandibular rotation with Herbst treatment. Hypodivergent patients, as well as untreated hypo- and hyperdivergent controls, underwent forward true mandibular rotation. However, hypodivergent chins did not advance any more than expected for untreated hypodivergent Class II patients. Conclusions: Hypo- and hyperdivergent patients benefit from the Herbst's headgear effect. While the mandibular growth of hypodivergent patients overcomes the negative rotational effects, hyperdivergent patients undergo a deleterious backward mandibular rotation and increases in facial height.
