Pendahuluan: Perbaikan susunan gigi geligi dan oklusi dapat dilakukan dengan perawatan ortodonti. sifat kooperatif pasien sangat berpengaruh dalam kemajuan perawatan dan memerlukan waktu yang panjang. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui kemajuan perawatan pasien dengan sekrup ekspansi rahang atas pada alat ortodonti lepasan di Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Padjadjaran. Metode: Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive sampling dengan kriteria yang ditentukan, sebanyak 20 model studi crowding ringan yang dirawat menggunakan sekrup ekspansi rahang atas pada alat ortodonti lepasan. Hasil: kemajuan perawatan dengan mengaktivasi sekrup ekspansi secara rutin menunjukan terdapat pertambahan lebar lengkung gigi (LLG) serta jarak gigi 14-24 sebesar 49,1% (bermakna) dan 16-26 sebesar 33,8% (bermakna). Simpulan: Kemajuan perawatan dapat terjadi setelah aktivasi sekrup ekspansi sejumlah 9-10 kali, dimana jumlah aktivasi dan interval hari sebesar 49,1% dan 33,8% sehingga diperoleh ruang untuk memperbaiki susunan gigi pada pasien dengan crowding ringan.Kata kunci: sekrup ekspansi rahang atas, crowding ringan. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Improvement of the tooth and occlusion arrangement can be performed with orthodontic treatment. Cooperativeness of patients will be very influential in the treatment progress which requires a long time. The study was aimed to determine the development of a treatment with maxillary expansion screws on removable orthodontic appliances at Dental Hospital of Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran. Methods: The research was descriptive. The sampling technique was purposive sampling with the specified criteria, as much as 20 study models of mild crowding were treated using maxillary expansion screws in the removable orthodontic appliance. Results: The treatment progress by activating expansion screws continuously showed that there was an increase in the dental arch width and a distance of tooth number 14 – 24 was 49.1% (significant), and a distance of tooth number 16 – 26 of 33.8% (significant). Conclusion: Treatment progress can occurred after activation of expansion screws 9-10 times, where the number of activations and interval days was 49.1% and 33.8% so that space was obtained to improve the tooth arrangement in patients with mild crowding.Keywords: Maxillary expansion screw, mild crowding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
