Abstract

To ascertain reported practices and perceptions of orthodontists regarding interproximal reduction (IPR) in the Republic of Ireland (RoI). Questionnaires were administered to orthodontists in the RoI, seeking their demographics, reported IPR practices and related perceptions. Questionnaire responses were received from 105 (75%) of those invited to participate. Nearly all (98%) performed IPR, with 44% reporting increased recent use. Lower labial segment teeth were most frequently reduced in adults or adolescents to reshape teeth, resolve mild crowding or address tooth size discrepancies. This was in conjunction with aligner (59%) or fixed appliance (33%) treatments. Removal of 2-4mm of enamel per arch was most common (60%). The majority (82%) performed IPR over several visits with handheld strips, (87%) or strips in holders (58%), or with diamond burs in an air rotor (51%). Orthodontists perceived their patients to be unfamiliar with IPR, to find it uncomfortable (48%) rather than painful (9%) and preferable to extraction (71%). Conservative IPR of less than 4mm per arch was mostly undertaken for teeth in the lower labial segment in adults or adolescents in conjunction with aligner or fixed appliance treatments. Handheld strips were most commonly used. Orthodontists perceived their patients to be unfamiliar with IPR, to find it uncomfortable rather than painful and preferable to extraction.
牙齿正畸中的近牙间缩小术:爱尔兰共和国正畸医师报告的做法和看法
目的:了解爱尔兰共和国(RoI)正畸医师对近端间缩小术(IPR)的实践报告和看法。我们向爱尔兰共和国的正畸医生发放了调查问卷,以了解他们的人口统计数据、所报告的 IPR 实践和相关看法。在应邀参加调查的人中,有 105 人(75%)对问卷做出了回复。几乎所有人(98%)都进行了IPR,其中44%的人表示最近使用IPR的情况有所增加。成年人或青少年最常做的是下唇段牙齿减数,以重塑牙齿形状、解决轻度拥挤或解决牙齿大小不一的问题。这与矫治器(59%)或固定矫治器(33%)治疗同时进行。每个牙弓去除2-4毫米的珐琅质最为常见(60%)。大多数人(82%)使用手持式牙条(87%)或牙条固定器(58%),或使用空气转子中的金刚石车针(51%),经过多次就诊进行 IPR。正畸医生认为他们的患者对 IPR 不熟悉,认为 IPR 不舒服(48%)而不是痛苦(9%),比拔牙更可取(71%)。每弓小于 4 毫米的保守性 IPR 多用于成人或青少年下唇部分的牙齿,并与矫正器或固定矫治器一起使用。最常用的是手持式矫治器。正畸医生认为他们的患者对IPR并不熟悉,认为它不舒服而不是痛苦,而且比拔牙更可取。
