Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) index outcomes for orthodontic and orthognathic surgery patients

Influence of single-jaw surgery vs bimaxillary surgery on the outcome and duration of combined orthodontic-surgical treatment

“…In particular, Ponduri et al 8 reported a mean duration of 32.8 months. However, in a Norwegian investigation, the mean treatment duration was considerably shorter at 21.9 months overall.…”

“…The peer assessment rating (PAR) provides a valid and reproducible [4][5][6] objective assessment of the success of orthodontic treatment in isolation and has been applied to assess the quality of occlusal outcome following combined treatment. [7][8][9][10] The duration of combined treatment has typically been estimated at 2 years or longer. [7][8][9] Indeed, O'Brien et al 7 in a prospective investigation highlighted that mean treatment duration may approach 3 years, with a mean time of 33 months reported.…”

Patient satisfaction after orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery: A systematic review

“…By doing so the effects of the most significant part of the surgical procedure are clearly differentiated. [30][31][32] It has to be noted that more than 85% of the assessed patients were satisfied with the results. This high satisfaction level has been previously shown in a review related to orthognathic interventions and improvement in quality of life 11 as well as in other related studies.…”

Occlusal outcomes in combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment

“…While there have been many studies using occlusal indices to assess the outcome of orthodontic only treatment, relatively few studies have been undertaken to test their use in combined orthodontic/orthognathic patients. Ponduri et al (2011) found that the PAR index was a valid tool in assessing the outcome of reduction. They concluded that orthodontic/orthognathic treatment was effective in correcting dental and skeletal discrepancies.…”
