Hu S, Zhong J, Li Y, Liu Z, Gao X, Xiong X, Wang J. Mapping the evolving trend of research on Class III malocclusion: a bibliometric analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:420. [PMID: 38976020 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05811-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to provide visualized knowledge maps to show the evolving trends and key focal points of Class III malocclusion research through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Class III malocclusion research published between 2000 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer was utilized to count the citation and publication number of authors, institutions, countries and journals. Co-occurrence, co-citation, and cluster analyses and burst detection were conducted using CiteSpace. RESULTS A total of 3,682 publications on Class III malocclusion were included in the bibliometric analysis. During 2000-2023, both the annual publication count and citation frequency exhibited a gradual upward trajectory, with a noticeable surge in recent years. In terms of production and citation counts of Class III malocclusion research, the core journal is the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. Furthermore, apart from the primary keyword 'Class III malocclusion', 'orthognathic surgery' was identified as keyword with the most frequency. The cluster analysis of cited references reveals that the research focal points have shifted to 'skeletal anchorage' and 'surgery-first approach'. Furthermore, the burst detection identified 'quality of life' as a potential research hotspot since it has recently gained increasing scholarly attention. CONCLUSIONS The current study provides scholars with the knowledge maps of evolving trends and prominent topics of Class III malocclusion research and a summary of research progress on various priorities during different periods. These findings are expected to provide a valuable guidance to facilitate the future research on Class III malocclusion.

Ferrillo M, Migliario M, Curci C, Renò F, Giudice A, De Sire A. Skeletal maturation evaluation: which is the reliability of dental calcification Demirjian method versus hand-wrist X-ray in growing subjects? A systematic review. Acta Odontol Scand 2024; 83:230-237. [PMID: 38699981 PMCID: PMC11302501 DOI: 10.2340/aos.v83.40485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed at evaluating the reliability of dental maturation (DM) according to Demirjian method compared to hand and wrist maturation (HWM) to assess skeletal maturity (SM) in growing subjects, to identify the teeth and the corresponding mineralisation stages related to the pubertal growth spurt (PGS). MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched until January 5th, 2024, to identify observational cross-sectional studies that assessed the reliability of Demirjian method compared to the HWM methods (i.e., Grave and Brown and Fishman) in growing subjects. The quality assessment was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist. RESULTS Out of 136 papers suitable for title/abstract screening, 19 included studies. Of them, 17 papers showed the reliability of Demirjian DM method compared to HWM Fishman and Grave and Brown methods to assess SM in growing subjects. According to JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist, 12 papers were high-quality studies and 7 papers were medium-quality studies. Conclusions: The mandibular second molar might be considered as the best indicator compared to other teeth and that the peak of growth occurs no earlier than stage F in females and stage G in males according to Demirjian method. Also, the mandibular canine might be analysed as indicator of SM in males, and results suggest that the peak of growth occurs no earlier than maturation stage F according to Demirjian method, only in male subjects. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Association between dental age and malocclusions: a systematic review. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:383. [PMID: 38528527 PMCID: PMC10964512 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04143-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The evidence in the literature suggests that some skeletal or dental malocclusions are involved with dental development, resulting in advanced or delayed dental age (DA). The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the association between DA and different types of malocclusions. METHODS The search was carried out on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, and in the gray literature. Observational studies that evaluated the association between DA and sagittal, vertical, or transversal malocclusions were included. The quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The data from primary studies were narratively synthesized. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach. The study was conducted from August 2023 to October 2023. RESULTS One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-One records were identified in the initial search. Twenty (n = 20) studies were included. Most of the studies (n=15) presented a moderate quality according to NOS. Twelve studies evaluated the association between DA and sagittal discrepancies; eight studies evaluated vertical discrepancies, and only one study analyzed a transversal discrepancy. Demirjian's method for DA assessment was the most used among the studies. The primary studies observed that patients of both sexes presenting a vertical growth pattern and males with skeletal Class III malocclusion tend to have advanced DA. The study that investigated transversal malocclusion found that unilateral posterior cross-bite is associated with delayed DA. The certainty of evidence was very low for all outcomes evaluated. CONCLUSION DA may be associated with the type of malocclusion. It is suggested that DA can be used as an initial diagnostic tool in orthodontics. Future well-designed studies should be performed in order to investigate the association between DA and different types of malocclusions in more detail. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023454207).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandibular retraction is the main etiological mechanism of class II malocclusion in China and the subsequent distal molar relationship can cause functional discomfort in mastication, breathing and the temporomandibular joint. The use of mandibular advancement (MA) devices has recently emerged as an adolescent mandibular retraction treatment; however, current studies regarding the effect thereof are relatively few, and there is lack of sufficient clinical support. AIM To investigate the clinical effect of invisalign MA on the treatment of mandibular retraction in adolescents. METHODS This study included 30 adolescent patients who underwent treatment with the MA appliances from December 2017 to June 2021. The lateral cephalometric data before and after treatment were collected and imported into Dolphin Imaging software. The changes were measured by linear measurement superimposed with lateral cephalometric trajectory based on the Pancherz technology. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the length and position of maxilla before and after the treatment. The position of the mandible moved 3.13 mm, the length increased 4.14 mm, the mandibular ramus length increased 4.09 mm, the body length increased 4.25 mm, and the position of the condyle moved 1.03 mm forward after treatment. Additionally, changes in the incisor sagittal position and labial inclination were observed. The position of the upper incisor point moved back 1.33 mm, without statistical difference, the inclination and tooth angle decreased by 3.44° and 4.06°, respectively; the position of the lower incisor point was moved 2.98 mm, and the inclination and tooth angle increased by 2.62° and 1.23°, respectively. Furthermore, changes in the incisor overjet and molar relationship were seen. Overjet decreased by 4.31 mm, of which 1.78 mm was due to dental factors, accounting for 41.3% of the effect as opposed to 58.7% due to skeletal factors. Molar relationship improved 3.87 mm, with 1.34 mm due to dental factors, and dental and skeletal factors were accounted for 34.6% and 65.4% of the effect, respectively. CONCLUSION For adolescent patients with mandible retraction, invisalign MA can effectively promote the mandible growth, and it was proven to be mainly due to skeletal effects.

A systematic review with meta-analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:3823-3842. [PMID: 35338422 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04456-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the evidence on the relationship between dental and cervical vertebrae maturation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Searches were performed (up to December 2021) in seven databases, as well as in gray literature. Studies that included growing subjects, which evaluated the correlation between the stages of tooth formation and the maturation of cervical vertebrae, were eligible. The methodological quality of the selected reports was assessed using the JBI checklist for cross-sectional studies. Random-effects meta-analyses were implemented to calculate the pooled correlation coefficients between the maturation stages of cervical vertebrae and each tooth type. The GRADE approach was followed to assess the certainty of evidence. RESULTS Seventy-seven studies were selected. Most of them had limitations related to sampling and reliability of the methods to evaluate maturation. The syntheses evidenced positive correlations between the maturation of cervical vertebrae and the formation/calcification stages of the following lower teeth: canine (n = 7318; r = 0.692; 95% CI: 0.656-0.724), first premolar (n = 6194; r = 0.689; 95% CI: 0.649-0.725), second premolar (n = 6194; r = 0.695; 95% CI: 0.659-0.729), and second molar (n = 7905; r = 0.698; 95% CI: 0.652-0.739). All estimates were affected by the risk of bias and the presence of unexplained statistical heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The evidence points to an apparent positive correlation between dental and cervical vertebrae maturation. These results need to be carefully evaluated as the body of evidence is of very low quality. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Dental maturation might be a potential indicator of skeletal craniofacial growth status. A routine dental x-ray could be sufficient, reducing radiation exposure by requesting additional radiographs.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the pre- and post-treatment values of patients treated with monoblock and twin-block appliances with the values of the skeletal Class I individuals. Material and Methods The initial lateral cephalometric radiographs of the pubertal untreated skeletal class I patients and cephalometric radiographs of 60 (30 monoblock, 30 twin-block) patients before and after the functional treatment were included in the study. Skeletal, dental, and soft tissue measurements were performed by a single researcher using Dolphin Imaging software version 11.95 (Dolphin Imaging, Chatsworth, CA, USA). Paired t-test was used for statistical evaluation and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results In both monoblock and twin-block groups, there was a statistically significant increase in the measurements of the lower jaw and the vertical direction values (sella nasion B point (SNB), pogonion nasion perpendicular, Y-axis, sella nasion-gonion gnathion, palatal-mandibular angle, anterior facial height, mandibular length P < 0.05); however, in the Twin-block group, the lower jaw was found to be displaced more forward (change for twin-block; SNB = 2.35, Wits appraisal = -4.77). The most measurements of the twin-block treated group were similar to the control group. Conclusions Both functional appliances have been identified to be useful in achieving treatment targets; however, with twin-block, results closer to ideal values are obtained.
