«Surgery first» or two stage complex rehabilitation plan for patients with malocclusions

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Orthodontics
• Oral Rehabilitation

Background:

• Bite anomalies and complex malocclusions present significant challenges in dental rehabilitation.
• Standard treatment protocols often involve multiple stages, requiring careful planning.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe and compare two-stage and conventional three-stage treatment plans for complex malocclusions.
• To establish indications for the implementation of a two-stage treatment protocol.
• To evaluate the efficiency and stability of treatment results.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of treatment plans for 515 patients with complex malocclusions.
• Description of two-stage and three-stage rehabilitation protocols.
• Application of a quantitative analysis system for dento-oral-facial disorders to assess outcomes.

Main Results:

• The study outlines specific indications for adopting a two-stage treatment protocol.
• Evaluation of treatment efficiency and long-term stability was performed.
• Quantitative analysis provided objective measures of treatment success.

Conclusions:

• A two-stage treatment protocol can be effectively indicated for specific complex malocclusions.
• The quantitative analysis system offers a reliable method for assessing rehabilitation outcomes.
• Optimized treatment planning enhances the efficiency and stability of results in managing bite anomalies.
