Zusammenfassung

Anhand einer Untersuchung der Zahnfehlstellung und des Behandlungsbedarfs bei Gruppen von behandelten und unbehandelten Erwachsenen können die langfristigen Ergebnisse der kieferorthopädischen Therapie erforscht werden. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, die Ergebnisse der kieferorthopädischen Behandlungen zu untersuchen, um sowohl den ärztlich definierten als auch den vom einzelnen empfundenen Bedarf zu ermitteln. Das Untersuchungsmaterial umfaßt Daten von 111 unselektierten 35jährigen aus Oslo, Norwegen. Anhand einer klinischen Untersuchung und Analysen von dentalen Studienmodellen wurden die Probanden in eine von vier Bedarfskategorien nach dem norwegischen Indikationssystem („Need for Orthodontic Treatment Index“ [NOTI]), das von der staatlichen Sozialversicherung angewendet wird, eingeteilt. Mittels eines Fragebogens wurde nach der Zufriedenheit mit der eigenen dentofazialen Ästhetik und dem Wunsch, sich einer kieferorthopädischen Behandlung zu unterziehen, gefragt. Danach wurden die Antworten hinsichtlich des vom einzelnen empfundenen Behandlungsbedarfs analysiert. Zufriedenheit mit der eigenen dentofazialen Ästhetik wurde bei 85% der unbehandelten und 92% der früher behandelten Probanden festgestellt, während der Wunsch nach einer Behandlung bei 19% der unbehandelten und 3% der behandelten Probanden bestand. Okklusale Anomalien wurden sowohl bei behandelten als auch bei unbehandelten Probanden festgestellt, und die klinische Signifikanz der Befunde in bezug auf Zahn/Kiefer-Fehlstellungen wird erörtert.

Summary

Long-term outcome of orthodontic care systems may be studied by examining malocclusion and treatment need in groups of treated and untreated adults. The objective of the present work was to investigate the professionally defined need as well as the need perceived by the individuals in an attempt to study the outcome of orthodontic services. The material comprised data from 111 individuals collected from a random sample of 35-year-olds from Oslo, Norway. From a clinical examination and measurements on dental study casts, the subjects were classified into either of 4 levels of need according to the Need for Orthodontic Treatment Index (NOTI) used by the Norwegian Health Insurance System. Perceived need for treatment was analyzed from responses to questions about satisfaction with dental appearance and desire for orthodontic treatment presented in a questionnaire. Satisfaction with dental appearance was recorded in 85% and 92% of untreated and previously treated, respectively. Desire for treatment was expressed by 19% of the untreated and 3% of the treated individuals. Occlusal anomalies were present among both the treated and untreated subjects, and the clinical significance of the malocclusion traits observed is discussed.
