An evaluation of changes in mandibular anterior alignment from 10 to 20 years postretentionPublicado por: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Pretreatment, end of treatment, IO-year postretention, and 20-year postretention records of 31 four premolar extraction cases were assessed to evaluate stability and relapse of mandibular anterior alignment. Crowding continued to increase during the lo- to 20-year postretention phase but to a lesser degree than from the end of retention to 10 years postretention. Only 10% of the cases were judged to have clinically acceptable mandibular alignment at the last stage of diagnostic records. Cases responded in a diverse unpredictable manner with no apparent predictors of future success when considering pretreatment records or the treated results. postretention, robert m little, premolar extraction, evaluation of changes, mandibular anterior alignment |
