Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the stability of anterior open bite (AOB) treatment with bonded spurs associated with high-pull chincup (BS/HPCC). Methods: The experimental group consisted of 25 Class I AOB patients (15 female, 10 male) treated with BS/HPCC for 1 year. Cephalograms were analysed at pre-treatment (T1), post-treatment (T2) and at the 3-year post-treatment (T3) stage with the patients mean ages of 8.10, 9.14 and 12.18 years, respectively. The control group consisted of 23 subjects (13 female, 10 male) with normal occlusion, with comparable ages at the 3 stages (8.45, 9.45 and 12.50 years at T1, T2 and T3, respectively). T tests were used for intergroup comparisons at T1 and to compare the changes during the 3-year post-treatment period (T2-T3). Intragroup comparison in the treated group was evaluated with dependent t tests between T1 and T2. Correlations between the overbite changes in the T2-T3 period, the pre-treatment AOB severity and the amount of correction achieved during treatment were evaluated with Pearson′s correlation coefficient. Results: No statistically significant relapse of the AOB was found at T3. Only 1 patient had a clinically significant AOB relapse. Neither the pre-treatment AOB severity nor the amount of correction was related to overbite changes during the 3-year post-treatment period. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant relapse of the AOB, and the clinical stability of AOB correction 3-year post-treatment was of 96%.
