Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the perception of practitioners with varying levels of expertise and laypeople regarding the orthodontic treatment need and facial harmony in patients with increased anterior overjet.

Methods: Three groups of observers (orthodontists, general dentists, and laypeople, in total n = 48) were asked to rate on images-using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS)-the facial harmony and treatment need of a sample of 8 patients with class II division 1 malocclusion and overjets of 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm.

Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the three groups of observers regarding patients with an overjet of 4 mm and above (p < 0.001). Treatment need was perceived at an overjet of 4 mm by orthodontists and 6 mm by general dentists, whereas laypeople did not perceive a need for treatment in any of the groups (p < 0.001). Regarding perception of facial harmony, orthodontists had the lowest threshold (4 mm overjet), while dentists followed at a greater overjet of 6 mm or more (p < 0.001). A statistically significant correlation between the noticed facial harmony and the perceived orthodontic treatment need was found in all observers (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The perceived orthodontic treatment need for class II division 1 malocclusion increased with increasing professional expertise.

专业知识对 II 类 1 分区错牙合畸形患者治疗需求认知的影响:德国正畸医师、普通牙医和非专业人士之间的比较。
目的:本研究旨在比较具有不同专业水平的医生和非专业人士对前牙槽骨过高患者的正畸治疗需求和面部和谐的看法:要求三组观察者(正畸医师、普通牙医和非专业人士,共48人)使用10分视觉模拟量表(VAS)对8名Ⅱ类Ⅰ型错颌畸形和2、4、6和8毫米过咬合患者的面部和谐度和治疗需求进行评分:结果:三组观察者对咬合过高 4 毫米及以上患者的评价差异有统计学意义(P<0.05):随着专业技能的提高,对二类一区错颌畸形的正畸治疗需求感知会增加。
