“…17,18,27 Among the various psychological inventories, the LOC scale has proved particularly useful, especially in the prediction of healthenhancing behavior. [3][4][5][6][7][8] This study was inspired by a previous report that concluded that LOC information might be useful to enhance patient compliance in orthodontic treatment.…”

“…19,32,33 One study found that prepubertal patients (Ͻ12 years of age) were more compliant than other age groups in wearing the appliances but less compliant in keeping appointments or protecting appliances from breakage. 33 Thus, although quantitative assessments of patient compliance have measured tasks such as appointment keeping, appliance wear, interest in treatment, and adequate oral hygiene, 27 other factors can influence patient compliance, making accurate measurement a truly challenging task.…”

Introduction: Increased understanding of orthodontic patients will improve communication between dentist and patient; this is important for an optimal treatment outcome. In this prospective study, we addressed the relationship between patient compliance and locus of control (LOC) characteristics and evaluated posttreatment changes in LOC profiles. Methods: Two types of LOC questionnaires, the Rotter internal control scale (RICS) and the Nowicki-Strickland external control scale (NSECS), were given to 561 patients before conventional orthodontic treatment. After orthodontic treatment, the same questionnaires were readministered, and patient compliance was evaluated by an orthodontist and 3 dental hygienists. LOC scores were calculated at the end of the examination period. The difference in LOC between the good and poor compliance groups, and the posttreatment changes in LOC were evaluated. Results: There was no significant difference in RICS and NSECS profiles between the good and poor compliance groups. NSECS decreased significantly after orthodontic treatment, but there were no significant changes in RICS. Conclusions: Patient compliance appears to be a complex factor that cannot be predicted by LOC evaluation before orthodontic treatment. Patients who underwent orthodontic treatment showed decreased external control dispositions. (Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2008;133:354-8)

“…Therefore, compliance was appraised with a 3-point Likert scale (poor, moderate, good). 16 Nineteen of the 22 subjects (86.3%) underwent a second phase of preadjusted edgewise therapy after an interim period, during which a removable mandibular retractor typically was worn or, in a few instances, immediately after the rapid maxillary expansion and protraction treatment. 17 On average, fixed appliance therapy lasted 18 months.…”

Introduction: The aim of this prospective controlled study was to evaluate the long-term effects of rapid maxillary expansion and facemask therapy in Class III subjects. Methods: Twenty-two subjects (9 boys, 13 girls; mean age, 9.2 years 6 1.6) with Class III disharmony were treated consecutively with rapid maxillary expansion and facemask therapy followed by fixed appliances. The patients were reevaluated at the end of the 2-phase treatment (mean age, 14.5 years 6 1.9) and then recalled about 8.5 years after the end of rapid maxillary expansion and facemask treatment (mean age, 18.7 years 6 2.1). Two groups of controls with untreated Class III malocclusion were used for statistical comparisons of the short-term and long-term intervals. Statistical comparisons were performed with the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: In the long term, no significant differences in maxillary changes were recorded, whereas the treatment group showed significantly smaller increases in mandibular protrusion. The sagittal maxillomandibular skeletal variables maintained significant improvements in the treatment group vs the control groups. Conclusions: In the long term, rapid maxillary expansion and facemask therapy led to successful outcomes in about 73% of the Class III patients. Favorable skeletal changes were mainly due to significant improvements in the sagittal position of the mandible. (Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2011;140:493-500)

“…Muitas especulações foram feitas sobre o perfil psicológico de um paciente cooperador 4,50 , quais fatores teriam influência sobre seu comportamento e como seria possível mensurar por meio de testes psicológicos 17,18,20,21,37,49 estas tendências de conduta. Allan e Hodgson 4 consideraram que o perfil de um paciente cooperador incluiria quase sempre qualidades como ser amigável, responsável e atencioso, além de otimistas, obedientes, sociáveis e com bom desempenho escolar 9 .…”

As alternativas de tratamento ortodôntico em casos apresentando Classe II completa bilateral são bastante variadas e podem ou não incluir extrações. Quando a opção é por extrações, o protocolo incluindo apenas dois pré-molares facilita enormemente a correção sagital da Classe II. Ao optarmos pela correção por meio da distalização bilateral dos segmentos posteriores, fica bastante evidente uma maior demanda mecânica e principalmente uma exigência muito maior por cooperação para que o sucesso do tratamento seja alcançado. Desta forma, decidiu-se avaliar e comparar o nível de cooperação apresentado por 73 pacientes apresentando Classe II completa, planejados sem extrações ou com duas extrações no arco dentário superior, e assim verificar se a conduta terapêutica inicial, associada à cooperação, teve influência nos resultados finais. Os resultados demonstraram que a decisão terapêutica baseada na correção sagital da Classe II sem extrações, baseada em mecânicas distalizadoras extrabucais, ficou nitidamente refém da cooperação dos pacientes, forçando este grupo a um replanejamento para que o sucesso terapêutico pudesse ser alcançado, prolongando significativamente o tempo de tratamento ortodôntico.
