ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To compare the prevalence of clinical complications between two different telescopic Herbst systems the conventional telescopic system, with traditional rod and tube (RMS), and the Manni telescopic Herbst appliance (MTH). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Ninety subjects treated with RMS were compared to 89 patients treated with MTH. All of the complications that occurred were reported, and percentages of prevalence were calculated.RESULTS:
MTH showed a significantly lower percentage of reversible complications (that did not require appliance removal) when compared to the reversible complications during RMS treatment (20.2% vs 51.1%). No statistically significant differences were found between RMS and MTH regarding irreversible complications (that required appliance removal and full re-make). All of the irreversible complications occurred after reversible complications in the RMS group, while most of the irreversible complications in the MTH group occurred without any previous reversible complication.CONCLUSIONS:
MTH exhibited a smaller number of clinical complications during Class II skeletal malocclusion therapy.Palavras-chave
