▼ Objectives: Sleep apnea is a common chronic condition,
with prevalence estimated at approximately 26% and 13% of adult
males and females, respectively. The consequence of untreated OSA
is increased morbidity and mortality. Long-term adherence to
treatment for chronic conditions in developed countries is
estimated at 50%. The aim of this study was to test whether a
multifactorial intervention in addition to the standard of care
increases adherence rates in patients using a titratable oral
appliance to treat OSA.Methods: Subjects are between the ages of
18-60+, and have a diagnosis of OSA. After informed consent, they
were assigned at random to the experimental or control group. A
power analysis indicated group size of 30 subjects each was
necessary to demonstrate a difference in the three variables
(p<0.05) of +/- 15% between groups with a power of 0.86. The
control group received routine care. Experimental subjects received
in addition: educational material at scheduled intervals,
spouse/partner packet, monthly follow up communication,
communication with primary physician and dentist about patients,
printouts of sensor data, and gift cards for timely follow up with
sleep physician. Comparison of adherence was at 1-, 3-, and 6 month
time points. Variables were: mean nights of appliance wear, mean
nights adherent to prescribed wear time, mean nights worn per week,
and the mean hours worn per night.Results: Forty subjects have been
enrolled to date, 15 females and 25 males. Seventeen have been
recorded at time point one (30 days). Seven subjects have left the
study and there have been 5 sensor malfunctions (patients
continuing to use appliance in the absence of objective
monitoring). There were no significant differences between group
for gender, age, and BMI at time point 1. There were no significant
differences between groups for total nights worn, total nights
adherent, number of nights/week, and hours/night for time points
1.Conclusions: The interventions were well received by the
subjects, and most of the repeated interventions could be carried
out by administrative personnel. There was a significant failure
rate with the sensors that added a level of frustration to the
process. There were no statistical differences for total nights
worn, total nights adherent, number of nights/week, or hrs/night.
This may be due to inadequate sample size. The means for all
variables were higher in the experimental group compared with the
control group.

▼ Objectives: Aims of this study were (1) determine if
there was any difference in psychosocial well-being and quality of
life (QoL) surgical orthodontic patient subjects and controls at
different time points during and following treatment and (2)
identify any change in the subjects’ QoL during and following
treatment. Methods: The study was approved by The
Ohio State
University Institutional Review Board. Subjects were patients with
facial skeletal mal-relationships whose proposed orthodontic
treatment plans included orthognathic surgery. Controls were
recruited and matched to subjects for age, sex, education level,
and employment status at each time point. Subjects were evaluated
at three time points: pre-treatment (T1), pre-surgery (T2), and
post-treatment (T3 - six months to two years after removal of
orthodontic appliances). Controls were not followed longitudinally;
they were recruited to match subjects at each of the 3 time
periods. To assess psychosocial well-being and condition-specific-
and overall QoL, participants were asked to fill out the following
questionnaires: Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ)
and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Beck’s Depression Index
(BDI), Child’s Depression Inventory (CDI),
State-Trait Anxiety
Inventory, Form Y (STAI-Y), and
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for
Children (STAI-C). For depression and anxiety evaluation, BDI and
STAI-Y, and CDI and STAI-C were used for adult and pediatric
participants, respectively. Each of these instruments have been
determined to be valid and reliable. Differences between the
subjects at the different time points, as well as the differences
between subjects and controls at each of the three time points were
evaluated.Results: Four hundred and ninety-two surveys, controls
and subjects, were collected. Twenty-four subjects completed
surveys at all three time points, and 25 completed them at 2 time
points. No significant differences between subject and control
groups in age, sex, and, employment status were found. Controls had
a higher level of education than subjects at T1. Quality of life
was significantly worse for Subjects for the total OQLQ and for
three of the four domains (social aspect, facial esthetics, oral
function) (p<.01). Treatment significantly improved SWLS
(p<=.0214) in subjects after treatment compared with
pre-treatment in treated subjects. There were no significant
differences between controls and subjects and within subjects for
depression and anxiety, for both adults and children.Conclusion:
Correction of facial skeletal mal-relationships by surgical
orthodontics improved condition-specific and higher level, over-all
quality of life in patients.

▼ Objectives: The prevalence of sleep apnea is estimated
at approximately 26% and 13% of adult males and females,
respectively. That estimated number of adults with sleep apnea is
similar to those for diabetes or asthma. Long-term adherence to
treatment for chronic conditions in developed countries is
estimated at 50%. The air of this study was to test whether a
multifactorial intervention increases adherence rates in patients
using a titratable oral appliance to treat OSA.Methods: Subjects
are between the ages of 18-60+, and have a diagnosis of OSA. After
informed consent, subjects are randomly assigned to experimental or
control groups. A power analysis indicated group size of 30
subjects each to demonstrate a difference (p<0.05) of +/- 15%
between groups with a power of 0.86. The control group receives
routine care in addition to objective monitoring with a thermal
sensor (DentiTrac®, BRAEBON, Ontario, Canada). This care includes
an initial 1-hr consult, then delivery of the oral appliance (with
sensor) and follow-up appointments at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months,
and 6 months. Experimental subjects receive in addition:
educational material at scheduled intervals, Spouse/partner packet,
monthly follow up communication, communication with primary
physician and dentist about patients, print outs of sensor data,
and gift cards for timely follow up with sleep physician.
Comparison of adherence is at 1-, 3-, and 6 month time points.
Variables looked for the groups are mean nights worn (N > 0),
mean nights adherent to prescribed wear time (N > 4), and mean
hours worn per night (H/N).Results: Enrollment to date has yielded
90 patients; 39 female and 51 male. A total of 53 have been
recorded at 30 days (TP1), of those, 41 have been recorded at 90
days (TP2), and of those 46, 32 have been recorded at 180 days
(TP3). Out of the 90 enrolled, 37 patients dropped out for multiple
reasons (sensor malfunction - patients continuing to use appliance
in the absence of objective monitoring, lost to follow up
appointments, patients seeking treatment elsewhere because the
clinician was out of network, patient discontinuing use of
appliance or using appliance in conjunction with CPAP). There were
no significant between group differences for age, sex or BMI
(p>0.05) At 30 days post-delivery (TP1), subjects in the
experimental group used their oral appliance for more nights (1.5
more nights, p=0.005) and for more nights > 4hrs night (3.3 more
nights, p<0.000), than those in the control group. The subjects
in the experimental group wore their appliances 5.9 hr nightly vs.
5.2 hr nightly in the control group (p=.258).Conclusions: Data are
preliminary as we continue to enroll subjects. Interventions were
well received by subjects, and most can be carried out by auxiliary
personnel. The experimental interventions resulted in statistically
significant improvements in patient adherence to treatment based on
the proportion of nights with > 0 hours wear and > 4 hours
wear. It remains to be seen if the experimental intervention
results in increased…

▼ Objectives: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) have been reported to have poor long-term adherence to oral
appliances such as mandibular advancement devices (MAD). The
Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a valid and reliable
questionnaire used to determine a patient’s ability and motivation
to adhere to therapy. The aim of this pilot study was to determine
if there is a difference in the initial PAM activation levels
between patients who are adherent to MAD therapy and those who are
not. Methods: Subjects were ages 18+ years old, had a diagnosis of
OSA from a sleep physician and a referral for a MAD to treat their
OSA. They completed the 13-question PAM questionnaire at consult
(T0), and at follow up 1-month (T1) after delivery of their MAD. A
sensor in the MAD recorded wear-time during treatment. Patients
were placed in Adherent (wear > 4h/night and 70% of nights) or
Non-Adherent group (wear <4h/night or 70% of nights OR failure
to return for follow up visits after appliance delivery). Logistic
regression was used to compare baseline PAM levels between both
groups at 1 month. Results: 77 patients (39F, 38M) have been
recruited. 48 subjects analyzed due to 18 dropouts and 11 not yet
reaching T1. There were no significant differences between groups
for demographics (age, sex, BMI, ESS, and AHI). Baseline PAM level
did not predict adherence at 1 month of MAD treatment. Conclusions:
Initial PAM level is not an accurate predictor of patient adherence
with MAD treatment for OSA at 1 month.

▼ AbstractIntroduction: Referrals from general dentists
have historically been a major source of new patients in
orthodontic practices. Because of this, orthodontists employ
multiple strategies to maintain and develop this relationship with
the dentist, including gift giving. Objectives: The primary aim of
this study is to determine how often general dentists receive gifts
from orthodontists, the value and number of the gifts they receive,
and how they perceive the motivation behind the gifts. Methods: A
questionnaire was constructed, tested for validity and reliability.
An electronic version of the questionnaire was sent via email to
1300 general dentists in
Ohio. Results: The validity and
reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed. Two hundred and
fifty four dentists responded to the electronic survey (20%).
Eighty-five percent of responding general practitioners reported
that they received gifts from an orthodontist. Almost 100% reported
that they referred patients to orthodontists. About one-third of
the general practitioners responding reported that their office
provided orthodontic care. There were statistically significant
correlations between the numbers of annual patient referrals the
general practitioners reported making and the number and value of
the gifts they received from the orthodontists. Female general
practitioners reported receiving higher number, and more valuable
gifts than male practitioners. General practitioners who reported
providing orthodontic treatment did not differ from those who did
not in the number of referrals they made annually and the number
and value of the gifts they received. Quality of care was the most
common reason that general practitioners reported for their
referral to an orthodontist. Forty-four percent of the responders
reported that they received discounted orthodontic treatment.
Conclusions: General practitioners refer patients to orthodontists
and receive gifts from them. The number and value of the gifts
reflects the number of referrals they make. Reduced or free
orthodontic care, given as a gift, may exceed in value guidelines
by professional organizations regarding `split fees’.

▼ There is inadequate data to determine if patients’
self-reported quality of life changes following orthognathic
surgery result from the surgery itself or from other factors.
Objectives: To determine the psychosocial effects of correcting
facial skeletal mal-relationships on quality of life, depression,
and anxiety in a group of surgically treated orthodontic patients
compared with matched controls. Methods: Subjects were patients
presenting to a graduate orthodontic clinic or dental faculty
practice with facial skeletal mal-relationship whose proposed
treatment plan included orthognathic surgery or who had previously
received surgical correction of a facial skeletal mal-relationship.
Sex, age, employment and educational level matched controls were
surveyed in an identical manner. Instruments used to assess
psychosocial impact included the Orthognathic Quality of Life
Questionnaire (OQLQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II),
Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and the
State Trait Anxiety
Index (STAI). Instruments were administered at initial consultation
before any treatment and at post treatment, 6 to 24 months after
appliance removal. Between group data was analyzed using multiple
Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon tests with p-values adjusted using the
step-down Bonferroni method of Holm. Results: A total of 149
subjects participated in the study, 44 subjects in the
pre-treatment control group, 39 in the pre-treatment surgery group,
32 in the post-treatment control group, and 34 in the
post-treatment surgery group. There was a significant increase in
age, education and employment in both post-treatment groups
compared with their respective pre-treatment groups. There were no
significant differences in quality of life, depression, anxiety or
overall satisfaction with life in orthognathic surgery patients
compared with matched controls except in oral function. The third
domain of the OQLQ, oral function, was found to be significantly
different between the pre-treatment control and pre-treatment
surgery groups and between the pre-treatment surgery and
post-treatment surgery groups. Conclusion: Subjects with
facial-skeletal mal-relationships who chose to have surgical
correction on average are no different from controls relative to
health related quality of life, depression, anxiety, and overall
satisfaction with life. Patients selecting to have orthognathic
surgery can expect to see an improvement in oral function but no
other significant improvements in psychosocial
parameters.

▼ Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the
effectiveness of bite wafers, teethers, chilled teethers, and
vibrating oral motor tools on self-reported pain and anxiety that
commonly accompanies initial archwire activation.Methods: 150
orthodontic patients aged 9-18 years were randomly assigned to one
of five groups and matched for sex and age. One group served as the
control while the other four groups received either a bite wafer,
teether, chilled teether, or vibrating oral motor tool. The
subjects completed baseline questionnaires to assess their levels
of anxiety (Six-Item
State Anxiety Scale) and pain (a 100-mm visual
analogue scale) before initial archwire placement. After initial
archwire placement, the subjects were given their respective
devices and instructed to use them for at least 20 minutes each day
for one week while continuing to answer the anxiety and pain
surveys each day. Results: Preadolescent males (9-13) of the
Teether Group (p ≤ 0.012) displayed less anxiety than the Control
Group. The preadolescent males reported less pain in the Bite Wafer
Group (p ≤ 0.001), Chilled Teether Group (p ≤ 0.024), and Vibration
Group (p ≤ 0.002) compared with the Control Group. The female
groups consistently showed heightened pain levels compared to their
controls. Conclusions: Sex and age do affect nonpharmacological

differently. However, this may have been the result of small group
size and should be confirmed in other studies.

▼ It is valuable for orthodontists to know what factors
are important to prospective patients in selecting an office at
which to begin treatment. Objective: To determine the relative
importance placed upon different factors for selection of an
orthodontic practice by prospective patients. Methods: In a
previous study5, St. Louis et al. developed a patient questionnaire
that was determined to be both valid and reliable (able to
accurately measure the intended target repeatedly). Two versions of
the questionnaire were developed: one for adult patients and one
for parents of adolescent patients. Questionnaires were mailed to
participating orthodontics offices where they were made available
to prospective adult patients, and the parents of prospective
adolescent patients, on their first visit to that office. Subjects
returned completed surveys directly to the investigators. Data were
analyzed by a repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and
the Tukey-Kramer procedure. Results: In total, 210 surveys were
analyzed: 66 from adult patients and 143 from parents of adolescent
patients. The 10 most important factors for all subjects were
predominantly factors such as being made to feel comfortable, a
caring attitude of the doctor/staff, clear communications from the
doctor/staff, and a clean office. The 10 least important factors
were predominantly “office amenities” (refreshments, play area,
parties, school pick-up/drop-off, TV, Wi-Fi, video games, etc) and
“doctor demographics” (age, gender, religion, and ethnicity of the
orthodontist). Conclusion: Certain factors were consistently
important, and others unimportant, for patient selection of an
orthodontic practice.

▼ Introduction: Clear aligner orthodontic therapy is an
alternative to fixed-appliance therapy, however tooth movement
achieved by removable aligners is dependent upon patient adherence.
Invisalign (Align Technology, San Jose, CA), the leading provider
of removable aligners, recommends 22 hours per day of aligner wear.
However, there is a lack of evidence to support this
recommendation. Objectives: The aim of this project was to
determine incisor facial/lingual tip, bodily movement,
intrusion/extrusion, and rotation change differences in maxillary
and mandibular incisors when aligners are worn 12, 17, and 22 hours
per day for the first 8 weeks of treatment.Methods: 45 subjects
were recruited and, in a randomized-block design, assigned to wear
aligners either 12, 17, or 22 hours per day. Subjects were to wear
each aligner for one week and record wear time. Intraoral scans (3
Shape, Trios, Copenhagen, Denmark) were taken at baseline and 8
weeks. Tooth movements produced by separate wear times were
quantified (ToothMeasure, Align Technology, Inc.), and analyzed for
significant differences (p<0.05).Results: Increased reported
aligner wear led to significantly greater achievement of planned
tooth movement compared with shorter reported wear time. Rotation
of maxillary central incisors; translation and intrusion of
maxillary lateral incisors; labial inclination and bucco-lingual
translation of mandibular incisors all showed greater median
achieved movements compared with reduced tray wear. There were no
other instances of statistical differences.Conclusions: Decreasing
wear time led to decreases in certain incisor movements. Wearing
aligners for 22 h daily seems to be the best protocol to maximize
achieving planned tooth movement. However, caution is indicated
because of the small sample size and the limited time course of the
study. A larger sample, over a longer time period may reveal
additional differences among the groups.

▼ A constant influx of new patient is necessary for the
success and growth of an orthodontic practice. Referrals made by
general dentists are an important source of new patients.
Orthodontists implement various marketing strategies to foster this
relationship. Purpose: 1) To develop a valid and reliable
questionnaire to evaluate gift giving practices of orthodontists to
other dental professionals. 2) To sample orthodontists nationwide
for information about their gift giving practices. Methods: An
initial list of questions was compiled from a review of the
literature and discussions with practicing orthodontists. The
questionnaire was pretested on part-time faculty and field tested
on local orthodontists to establish validity. Reliability was
assessed with an anonymous test-retest procedure of orthodontists
at a local CE meeting. Lastly, the final questionnaire was sent to
orthodontists randomly selected nationwide. Results: Reliability
tests used were ICC, Kappa and weighted Kappa. All questions
exhibited substantial to excellent reliability (Values>0.61).
Conclusion: Most commonly, the gifts given were food items. They
were given as a “thank you” and as an “incentive”. Gifts were
generally given annually or quarterly. Best referring offices
received gifts more frequently than lower referring offices. The
annual value of gifts to a `Highest referring’ practice was most
commonly 100 - 500. The amounts and frequency with which the
gifts are given seemed modest and within legal
guidelines.

▼ Objectives: (1) To assess the effectiveness of two
instruments, the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ)
and the Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP), to detect
differences in Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) between
pediatric patients with dentofacial deformities and normal
controls. (2) To assess for any correlations between reported
OHRQoL from the OQLQ and COHIP domains with the type and severity
of the skeletal malrelationship. (3) To assess if the COHIP and
OQLQ are identifying unique or overlapping OHRQoL concerns.Methods:
Subjects were under age 18, presented for orthodontic treatment
with a dentofacial deformity, were offered a treatment plan of
combined orthodontic and orthognathic therapy, and completed the
OQLQ and COHIP prior to treatment. Matched controls completed the
same surveys, had no apparent dentofacial deformity, and were not
undergoing active orthodontic treatment. Severity for subjects was
assessed with lateral cephalograms by recording overjet, overbite,
and ANB values and subjects were classified as skeletal Class I,
II, or III. Results: Enrollment yielded 30 subjects and 31
controls. There were no significant differences between subjects
and controls for age, gender, education level, and employment
status. For the OQLQ, significant differences between subjects and
controls were found for the Facial esthetics and Oral Function
domains as well as total score. For the COHIP, significant
differences were found for the scores for the Social/Emotional
Well-Being and Self-Image domains plus total score. Of the
subjects, 3 were skeletal Class I open bite, 9 were skeletal Class
II, and 18 skeletal Class III. There were no significant
correlations between the severity of the skeletal Class II or III
condition as measured by overjet and the reported OHRQoL for any of
the instrument domains. Conclusions: The OQLQ and COHIP are
effective at detecting significant OHRQoL differences between
pediatric patients with dentofacial deformities and matched
controls. While there is some overlap in the results of the
instruments, they also appear to identify different OHRQoL
concerns. Finally, there does not appear to be a relationship
between the type and severity of a skeletal malrelationship and
OHRQoL.

▼ Objective: Limited data suggests a smaller, narrow
maxilla can lead to a decreased oropharyngeal volume (OPV).
However, past studies have used 2-dimensional (2D) lateral
cephalometric radiographs. The specific aim of this study is to
assess how maxillary arch parameters relate to oropharyngeal volume
calculated from 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. An
additional aim was to compare these dimensions in a group of
African-American patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a
group of healthy controls. Methods: 16 full head CBCT images in the
closed mouth anatomic head position were obtained from adult male
African-American patients with a diagnosis of OSA. The OPV was
measured by counting corresponding voxels that are digitally
isolated from the 3D CBCT images after segmentation. The same
volume axial plane images were used to measure intercanine width,
intermolar width, arch length and arch perimeter. In addition, 16
control CBCT images were obtained from adult male African-American
patients matched for age with no prior diagnosis of OSA. Each of
the maxillary arch parameters was tested for correlation to
oropharyngeal volume and compared between the two groups.Results:
Reliability was tested and for all parameters the intraclass
correlation coefficient was greater than 0.95 (0.97-1.00). The OSA
group was significantly older than controls (31.9±6.9, 41.3±11.3
years respectively). After accounting for multiple comparisons the
minimum cross sectional area (MINXA) was the only parameter
significantly different between groups (p=0.0014). MINXA was found
to be a good-excellent predictor of OSA (Receiver operating
characteristic curve area under curve =0.89). A cutpoint of 111mm2
was determined for MINXA between groups.Conclusion: The CBCT based
imaging analysis produces reliable measurements for all parameters.
The current finding suggest that maxillary arch width and length do
not contribute to a smaller oropharyngeal airway. MINXA is a
good-excellent predictor of OSA in African American adult
males.

▼ Objectives: The aim of this study was to follow oral
health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) longitudinally in a
population of American children 11-14 years old undergoing
orthodontic treatment and assess if there is a correlation between
correction of malocclusion and OHRQoL. Methods: A convenience
sample of 11-14-year-old children were recruited: pediatric dental
group (N=38); orthodontic group (N=43); and craniofacial anomaly
group (N=40). Subjects completed the Child Perception Questionnaire
for 11-14-year-old children (CPQ11-14) at enrollment. The pediatric
and craniofacial groups also completed the CPQ11-14 at 24 months,
while the orthodontic groups completed the CPQ11-14 6 months post
orthodontic treatment. The data were analyzed using Factorial ANOVA
and the Tukey-Kramer method. The Peer Assessment Rating occlusal
index (PAR) was used to assess the severity of malocclusion for
both initial and final study models. Results: From the initial time
point to the final two year time point, the total CPQ11-14 scores
and the scores for each domain decreased in all three groups. The
orthodontic group total CPQ11-14 score and domains 2 and 3,
functional limitations and emotional well-being, decreased
significantly over time (P<0.01, P<0.01, and P<0.05
respectively). Initial PAR scores were significantly different for
all groups (P<0.05), with the craniofacial group having the
highest Initial PAR scores. Final PAR scores were available for the
craniofacial and orthodontic groups only. The orthodontic group had
significantly lower PAR scores than the craniofacial group at the
final time point (P<0.01). Both groups had significant decreases
in PAR scores from the initial to the final time point (P<0.01).
There appears to be a modest association between final CPQ11-14
scores and final PAR scores (r=0.43; P<0.01). Conclusions: 1)
Overall OHRQoL improves over time for 11-14 year old children who
undergo orthodontic therapy and for those who do not undergo
orthodontic treatment; 2) Orthodontics alone does not appear to be
a major reason why a child’s OHRQoL improves over time; 3) It is
suggested that orthodontics may improve a child’s emotional
well-being; and 4) There is at best a marginal association between

▼ Introduction: The object of this research was to
evaluate the reliability and validity of Peer Assessment Rating
(PAR) index scores derived from computerized digital models.
Computer based digital orthodontic models have been shown to be
valid and reliable when making measurements of tooth size and
simple diagnoses of dental malocclusions. The validity and
reliability of PAR scores from digital models and plaster models
that have been previously scored and standardized for a calibration
exercise for the PAR index have not been established. Methods: Ten
examiners were trained to score digital and plaster models using
the PAR index. Thirty standardized and previously scored plaster
PAR models used in PAR calibration were digitized using digital
study model technology. The plaster and digital calibration models
were randomized and scored by the ten examiners. All measurements
were repeated by all examiners at a second session. Results:
Plaster and digital scores were compared to the gold standard PAR
scores for validity. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC)
for plaster models ranged from 0.808-0.926. The mean ICC for
plaster models was 0.891 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of
0.829-0.940. The ICCs for digital models ranged from 0.846-0.922.
The mean ICC for digital models was 0.878 with CI of 0.811-0.931.
Intra-rater reliability was excellent for plaster (ICC =0.919) and
for digital models (ICC= 0.905). Inter-rater reliability was also
good for plaster (ICC=0.912) and digital models (ICC=0.883).
Conclusions: The PAR index scores obtained from the digital and
plaster calibration models were shown to be valid and
reliable.
