The aim of this study was to evaluateskeletal and dental stability and theadaptation of tongue and perioral soft tis-sue during retention treatment period.

The sample included 22 Angle class Iand/or class II, skeletal class I (15 fema-les, 7 males, mean chronologic age17.56±1.2) cases who had 4 premolarextracted. 18 measurements on lateralcephalometric and anteroposterior films,4 measurements on dental casts, 16 me-asurements of the soft tissue were carriedout at the end of active orthodontic treat-ment (T0), at the sixth (T1) and the ninthmonths (T2) of retention treatment peri-od and evaluated statistically using ‘Wil-coxon test’.

U6s(V) measurement showed a signi-ficant increase during T0-T1 (p<0.05)and L1s(V) measurement increased signi-ficantly during T1-T2 and T0-T2(p<0.05). The total lingual pressures atrest and during swallowing were foundsignificantly more than the total vestibu-le pressures in all retention treatment pe-riods (T0,T1,T2) (p<0.01).

Teeth positions were stable during re-tention although lingual pressure wasmore than lip and cheek pressures. Ske-letal, dental measurements and soft tissu-e adaptation at rest were stable at theend of retention. (Turkish J Orthod2009;22:110-123)

IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONNThe influence of soft tissues on equilibri-

um of the positions of teeth, function and fa-cial harmony during active orthodontic treat-ment and retention have to be considered(1). The presence of abnormal muscle acti-vity before orthodontic treatment is one ofthe relapse reasons (2,3); adaptation of softtissues after orthodontic treatment is also im-portant for the stability of treatment (4).

Proffit and Fields (5) stated that strong for-ces occur during the adaptation of soft tissu-es at the end of active orthodontic treatmentthat may return the teeth to the original posi-tions. Therefore retention appliances shouldpreserve the teeth until remodeling of soft tis-sues is completed.

Dentition is located in a stable positioncalled dynamic equilibrium. The primaryfactors for the equilibrium are the restingpressures of the tongue, lips and cheek, andpossibly the forces created within the peri-odontal membrane (6,7); for this reason anequilibrium of soft tissue forces (forces fromthe lips and cheek counterbalanced by for-ces from the tongue) and functional occlusi-on should be constructed in order to providestability (6,8,9).

In literature there are no studies evalua-ting soft tissue adaptation in retention. The-refore the aim of this study was to investiga-te skeletal and dental stability and soft tissu-e pressure adaptation during retention treat-ment period.

SSUUBBJJEECCTTSS aanndd MMEETTHHOODDSS The study group consisted of 22 subjects

(15 females, 7 males) whose ages rangedbetween 16 and 20, with a mean chronolo-gic age of 17.56. Cases had skeletal Class I,Angle class I and/or Class II malocclusionwith optimal or increased vertical facial di-mensions. Inclusion criteria were (1) full fi-xed edgewise orthodontic treatment with ex-traction of four first premolars, (2) no abnor-mal infantile swallowing, (3) completion ofactive growth and development potential, (4)retraction of upper incisors and (5) none ofthe extraoral appliance usage during activeorthodontic treatment (6) no maxillary ex-pansion treatment.

Strain gauges were used to measure thesoft tissue pressures (lips, cheek and tongue)on teeth (11) (Figure 3A). Cold-curing ortho-dontic acyrlic resin mini plates 1mm inthickness were prepared to attach the 0.6/120LY11 type strain gauges (Hottinger Bald-win Messtechnik GMBH, D-64293 Darm-stadt, Germany) on teeth. Acrylic mini plateswere prepared as thin as possible to achievethe reliable soft tissue pressures (12). Strain-gauges were glued onto the acrylic mini pla-tes with Bond-200 type adhesive (Microme-asurment Comp., Measurement Group, Inc.Raleign, N.C, USA) and acrylic mini plateswere attached onto the labial or lingual sur-faces of the teeth with polycarboxylate ce-ment (Adhesor, Turkey) (Figure 3B and 4).

Gould and Picton (13) stated that pressu-res on the right side could be more thanpressures on the left side therefore in thisstudy measurements were made on the rightside of the jaws. Patients were instructed toswash their mouth with water at room tem-perature in order to avoid incorrect resultsthat can occur due to temperature changes.

Bu sebeple, bu çal›flmada yumu-flak doku ölçümlerinin bafl pozisyonundanetkilenmemesi için ölçümler do¤al bafl pozis-yonunda al›nd›.

The value of U6s (V) showed a significantincrease during T0-T1 (p<0.05) and L1s(V)measurement increased significantly duringT1-T2 and T0-T2 (p<0.05). There was no sig-nificant change in the other soft tissue pressu-re measurements during retention (Table IV).

The total lingual pressures at rest and du-ring swallowing were found significantly mo-re than the total vestibule pressures in all re-tention treatment periods (p<0.01) (Table V).

DDIISSCCUUSSSSIIOONNIn many studies it is reported that ortho-

dontic relapse occurs in most of the extracti-on or non-extraction cases (9,17-20). Forcesgenerated by extraoral and intraoral soft tis-sues are known to be a potent factor that canaffect the teeth position and malocclusion soan equilibrium between these opposite sidedsoft tissue pressures should be constructed toprovide stability (6,8,9,21,22). In this presentstudy lip, cheek and tongue pressures on thevestibule and palatal/lingual surfaces of theteeth were measured considering the effectof orofacial soft tissues in relapse. The headposition is also very important in pressuremeasurements of the teeth and alveolar pro-cess. Ingervall and Thüer (15) stated that thepressures are slightly greater with the head inextended than in the natural position. There-fore we have recorded the pressure values innatural head position. We have used strain-gauges 0.6/120LY11 in size that have beenused safely in previous studies (11, 23) andprepared acrylic mini-plates 1 mm in thick-ness to achieve the most reliable soft tissuepressures on the teeth as possible (12). In so-me researches it was pointed out that themeasurements of the resting pressures haveto be made within an area of 0 mm to 2 mmfrom the tooth surface (23,24).

In this study intercanine and intermolardimensions and arch alignment were foundstable during retention period. Some authors(25,26) claimed that there is no relationshipbetween mandibular crowding and interca-nine distance whereas others (27,28) stated

Bu çal›flmada, aktif tedavi sonunda eldeedilen kesici difllerin eksen e¤imleri ve ko-numlar›n›n pekifltirme süresince korundu¤utespit edildi. Üner ve Dinçer’ in (29), Hawleyapareyi ile yap›lan retansiyonun, üst ve alt diflkonumlar›na etkisini inceledikleri çal›flmada,alt kesici difllerin lingoversiyonuna ba¤l› ola-rak interinsizal aç›n›n artt›¤› bildirilmektedir.

Bu araflt›rmada yutkunma s›ras›nda üstmolar diflte alt›nc› ay sonunda; alt kesici difl-te alt›nc› ve dokuzuncu ay sonunda vestibultaraftaki yanak ve dudak bas›nçlar›nda istatis-tiksel olarak önemli art›fllar saptanmas›nara¤men, istirahat halinde yumuflak doku ba-s›nçlar›nda önemli bir de¤iflim gözlenmedi.Çi¤neme ve yutkunma s›ras›nda kesicilerüzerine etkiyen kuvvetler k›sa süreliyken;gün boyu 4-6 saatten daha uzun etkiyen kuv-vetlerin k›sa sürede difl hareketi oluflturabile-ce¤i öne sürülmektedir (30). Di¤er taraftandifl pozisyonlar›n›n stabilizasyonunda, ‹stira-hat halindeki kuvvetlerin en fazla öneme sa-hip oldu¤u; bu nedenle de yumuflak dokula-r›n istirahat halinde uygulad›klar› bas›nc›ndaha çok dikkate al›nmas› gerekti¤i vurgulan-maktad›r (6,31,32). Bu sebeple araflt›rmadayumuflak doku bas›nçlar›, istirahat ve ikinciolarak da en fazla yap›lan fonksiyon olan yut-kunma halinde ölçüldü.

Bu araflt›rmada, istirahat ve yutkunma po-zisyonlar›nda total dil bas›nç de¤erlerinin,dudak ve yanak bas›nç de¤erlerine oranla da-ha fazla oldu¤u bulundu. Bu z›t yönlü kuv-vetlerin dengeli olmamas›na ra¤men, difl po-zisyonlar›nda relapsa rastlanmad›.

that changes in intercanine distance is res-ponsible for mandibular arch crowding.

In this study the achieved positions andinclinations of incisors at the end of activeorthodontic treatment were found stable du-ring retention. Üner ve Dinçer (29) reportedthat interincisal angle increased significantlydue to the lingoversion of lower incisors in astudy that evaluated the effects of Hawley re-tention appliance in upper and lower teethpositions.

In this study significant increase was ob-served in soft tissue pressures on the vestibu-le side of upper molar teeth at the end ofsixth month and also lower incisors both atthe sixth (T1) and ninth months (T2) of reten-tion treatment period during swallowingwhile there was no significant change at restposition in non of the soft tissue pressure me-asurements. Forces that act on incisors du-ring chewing and swallowing are of shortduration, but it has been postulated that for-ces operating longer than 4 to 6 hours perday can produce tooth movements in a rela-tively short time (30). On the other hand res-ting forces have the greatest importance onthe position of teeth so it has been emphasi-zed that soft tissue pressures at rest positionshould be taken into consideration (6,31,32).Therefore in this study we have measuredsoft tissue pressures at rest position and thenduring swallowing which is the most repea-ted function.

In this present investigation total lingualpressures both at rest position and duringswallowing were found more than total ves-tibule pressures. Although these opposite si-ded forces were not in equilibrium there wasno relapse in the position of teeth. Many for-ces operate on the dentitions not only the in-termittent tongue force or the more constantcheek forces but also the forces of occlusion(6). Root forms of the teeth, dimensions ofthe teeth crowns, inclination of the teeth, pe-riodontal membrane, density of alveolar bo-ne and occlusal forces could equilibrate lin-gual pressures as Gould and Picton (23) andKato et al. (33) stated.

tion. In a recent study Winocur et al.(34) sta-ted that neuromuscular adaptability beginswithin several minutes after bracket removaland a second stage of muscular adaptationoccurs within 3 months of retention. Küçük-kelefl et al (35) reported that the cheeks andlips almost adapt to the new position of den-tal arches at the end of the third months ofretention, whereas tongue adaptation tookcomparatively longer in which rapid maxil-lary expansion treatment was applied.

The stability and adaptation of intraoraland extraoral soft tissues could be related tothe buccolingual inclination of upper and lo-wer molar teeth and also the constancy of in-tercanine and intermolar dimensions.

Some authors have found considerablyhigher pressures on the lingual than on thebuccal side in the mandible (6,23). Howe-ver, Thüer (22) found same magnitude ofpressure on the buccal and lingual side ofthe mandibular posterior teeth. Also pressu-res reported by Proffit (4) were of about thesame magnitude, buccally and lingually, butconsiderably larger than those reported bypractically all other authors. In contrast Hen-sel (36) found smaller lingual than buccalpressures. In the maxilla Thüer et al.(22) andLear and Moorrees (37) found the medianbuccal resting pressure 2.7 times greaterthan the lingual pressure; on the other handHensel (36) reported seven times greaterbuccal than lingual pressures. The inconsis-tent results could largely be due to a metho-dological nature. In our study the greater lin-gual than buccal pressures during swallo-wing are in line with the results of many aut-hors (6,22,38). Because of their short durati-on during the day and night, these pressuresare, however, not believed to influence theposition of the teeth (6). Ruan et al. (39), sho-wed that the forces from the lips and the che-eks at rest are higher than those from the ton-gue, while the lingual force is larger than la-bial force during swallowing. It is stated thatadditional forces add up to the equilibriumof tooth position. Forces emanating from theperiodontal membrane, occlusion, rootforms, inclination of the teeth, alveolar bonedensity, dimension of teeth crown are the ot-her factors influencing the equilibrium(23,33).
