Yer tutucu Olarak Kullanılan Lingual Ark Apareyinin Klinik Başarısının Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir grup çocuk hastadayertutucu olarak kullanılan lingual ark apareyinin klinikbaşarısının değerlendirilmesidir.Birey ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya lingual ark yertutucuuygulanan 55 çocuk hasta (ort 8,7±0,6 yaş) dahil edildi.Lingaul ark apareylerin ortalama sağ kalım sürelerive başarısızlık nedenleri kaydedildi. Tanımlayıcı istatistiklerhesaplandı. Lingual ark apareylerin ortalama sağkalım süreleri Kaplan-Meier Analizi ile belirlendi. Yaş,cinsiyet gibi faktörlerin ortalama yaşam süresine etkisiCox regresyon analizi ile hesaplandı.Bulgular: Çalışmada ortalama takip süresi 15,4±6,2 aydır. En önemli başarısızlık nedeni bant desimantasyonuolarak bulunmuştur. Lingual ark yer tutucununortalama sağ kalım süresi 6 aydır. Cox regresyon analizisonuçlarına göre; yaş ve cinsiyet değişkenlerinin lingualark yer tutucuların yaşam sürelerine etkisinin önemli olmadığıbelirlenmiştir (p>0.05)Sonuç: Lingual ark yertutucuların desimatasyon ileilgili problemlerinin önüne geçebilmek için düzenli kontrollerinyanı sıra, yer tutucuların yapıştırma işlemlerinedikkat edilmeli, cam iyonomer esaslı yapıştıcı kullanıldığındasıkı nem kontrolü önlemleri alınmalıdır.

Evaluation of Clinical Success of Lingual Arch Applience used as Space Maintainer

Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the clinical success of lingual arc appliance as a space maintainer in a group of children.Subjects and Methods: : A total of 55 pediatric dental patients (8.7±0.6 years) who worn lingual arch appliance were included. Mean survival time of the Lingual archs and the failure reasons was recorded. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Cumulative survival rates of lingual arch space maintainer were estimated viaKaplan-Meier methods. The contribution of covariables age, sex to the survival function was further analyzed by means of the Cox regression model.Results: Mean follow-up period was 15.4 ± 6.2 months. The most common cause of failure was decementation and the mean survival time of lingualarch space maintainers was 6 months. According to theCox regression analysis no age and sex variables to bestatistically significant to predict the survival of spacemaintainers (p>0.05).Conclusion: Regular follow-ups should be scheduledfor patients who worn lingual arch space maintainer.Also strict moist control protocols must be employedbefore space maintainer cementation to overwhelm toproblems related to decementation of lingual arch spacemaintainer if glass ionomer cement was chosen as abonding agent
