Abstract [sv]

SAMMANFATTNING Syfte: Syftet med studien var att granska periapikala intraorala röntgenbilder avseende extern apikal rotresorption på överkäkens incisiver, före och efter retentionsbehandling med avtagbar retentionsapparatur. Syftet var också att registrera intra och inter-observatör överrensstämmelse vid bedömning av rotresorption. Metod: Studien utfördes som en randomiserad klinisk prövning. Patientmaterialet omfattade 75 patienter och insamlades på specialistkliniken för ortodonti i Ystad, Sverige. Patienterna behandlades för trångställning mellan år 2001-2007 och behandlingen involverade extraktion av fyra pre-molarer följt av fast ortodontisk apparatur i båda käkarna. Patienterna randomiserades till tre olika retentionsgrupper för retentionsbehandlingen (25 patienter i varje grupp). Intraorala periapikala röntgenbilder togs i överkäksfronten före ortodontiska behandlingens start (T0), vid retentionsbehandlingens start (T2) samt efter retention (T2.1). Genom observation av intraorala periapikala röntgenbilder angavs ett index (0-4) för rotresorptionen för respektive överkäksincisiv. Fyra observatörer granskade var för sig samtliga röntgenbilder, och vid ett senare tillfälle granskades 20 stycken slumpvis utvalda bilder. Resultat: Studien visar att rotresorption förekommer under den ortodontiska behandlingen med fast apparatur och signifikanta skillnader i rotresorption registrerades av två av fyra observatörer under retentionsbehandlingen (p<0.05). Inter-observatörs överrensstämmelsen var generellt låg, medan intra-observatör överrensstämmelsen var något högre. Konklusion: Enligt denna studie förekommer rotresorption under den ortodontiska behandlingen med fast apparatur, och till viss del även under retentionsperioden med avtagbar apparatur.

ABSTRACT Aim: The overall aim of the study was to register external apical root resorption in maxillary incisors before and after retention phase with removable appliance. A secondary aim was to register intra- and inter-observer agreement during the assessment of root resorption. Method: The study was carried out as a randomized clinical trial. The patient sample consisted of 75 patients with dental crowding that were treated at specialist orthodontic clinic in Ystad, Sweden. The patients were treated between year 2001-2007 and the treatment involved extraction of four premolars followed by fixed appliance in both jaws. The patients were randomized into three retention groups with 25 patients in each group. Intraoral periapical radiographs were taken on maxillary incisors before orthodontic treatment (T0), before start of retention phase (T2) and after retention (T2.1). An index ranging from 0-4 was used to assess root resorption for each maxillary incisor. At the first assessment, four observers individually analyzed all radiographs. 20 patients were randomly selected for a second assessment. Results: The study shows that root resorption occur during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliance (p<0.05). Statistical significant root resorption occurred during the retention period according to two of four observers. The inter-observer agreement was generally low, while the intra-observer agreement was higher. Conclusion: According to this study, root resorption occurs during fixed orthodontic treatment and to some extent during the retention period with removable appliances.
