Kinesiographic evaluation of patients under orthodontic treatment with or without tooth extraction. J Oral Science Rehabilitation. 2017 Jun;3(1):42–51. Abstract O b j e c t i v e In orthodontic practice, it is always required to decide whether to extract a tooth or to close the gap in the case of edentia. There are no scientific reports on changes to the temporomandibular joint and muscle system after orthodontic treatment including dentition size and shape reduction. The objective of this study was to improve diagnostic methods using computed diagnostic equipment. M a t e r i a l s a n d m e t h o d s After undergoing orthodontic treatment with dentition size and shape reduction, 127 patients aged between 16 and 32 were examined. Patients with physiological occlusion and without any functional problems were included in the control group. Morpho-functional investigation of man- dibular movement was conducted via a kinesiograph. R e s u l t s All of the patients showed some functional problems on the frontal and lateral planes. C o n c l u s i o n Improvements were seen with the regain and restoration of the edentu- lous spaces.
