简要总结
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in head posture, position of the hyoid bone, pharyngeal airway and cervical posture after the use of Petit type face mask in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion (ANB angle < 0) with ongoing growth.
No other study was found in the literature in which head posture, cervical posture, and hyoid bone position were evaluated after the use of a face mask and compared with a control group consisting of patients of the same age group and the same malocclusion.
详细描述
All radiographic assessments, including cephalometric, pharyngeal airway and craniocervical measurements were performed by the same researcher and she was blind to all the treatment details, orthodontic records, and information of the subjects to prevent bias. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken digitally with an X-ray unit (OP300; Instrumentarium Dental, Tuusula, Finland) according to the manufacturer and same technician. Subjects were positioned at the natural head position, teeth in centric occlusion, and lightly closed lips for lateral cephalometric radiographs. Skeletal development of individuals was evaluated using cervical vertebra maturation method (Ref: Bacetti T., An Improved Version of the Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM) Method for the Assessment of Mandibular Growth. Angle Orthod.). The skeletal development of individuals was evaluated using the cervical vertebra maturation method and it was determined that all patients were in the prepubertal stage (CS1-CS3). (Ref: Cevidanes L., Comparison of two protocols for maxillary protraction: bone anchors versus face mask with rapid maxillary expansion. Angle Orthod.)

研究组 & 干预措施
Skeletal Class III Malocclusion Treatment with Face Mask Group
In patients with skeletal class III malocclusion (ANB angle < 0,0) due to maxillary deficiency, rapid maxillary expansion appliances prepared on dental plaster models made of acrylic material covering all the upper dental posterior tooth surfaces were applied before the upper jaw was orthopedically brought forward with a face mask. This process was stopped when the expansion was made so that the palatal tubercles of the maxillary permanent first molars align with the buccal tubercles of the mandibular permanent first molars. Immediately afterwards, the petit-type face mask was applied to the hooks of the maxillary expansion device with the help of elastic bands and used continuously for at least 18 hours a day. After obtaining a positive overjet, the face mask appliance was used at night to ensure retention, and then the treatment was terminated.

Control Group
A control group was formed from patients in the same age group who had skeletal class III malocclusion due to maxillary growth deficiency but were not treated. In this way, the changes that occurred in the normal process in the head, craniocervical postures, pharyngeal airway and hyoid bones of the patients whose growth and development continued could be distinguished.
