Abstract

ABSTRACT: To evaluate differences in cooperation of adolescent patients in active orthodontic treatment between those who received one phased treatment (no prior interceptive or early treatment) and two phased treatment (prior interceptive or early treatment and subsequent corrective treatment). A prospective cohort study was carried out in 132 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment between 10 and 17 years old at CES University Dental Clinics and in 9 private practices in Medellín Colombia; two groups of 66 patients were defined; one that received two phased treatment and one that received one phased treatment. The Orthodontic Patient Cooperation Scale (OPCS) was applied to all individuals every three months during the first year of treatment in order to assess cooperation. Statistical differences between both groups were assessed using the SSPS® software program. Significantly greater cooperation (M = 4.6) was observed in patients who had received two phased treatment compared with those who were only subjected to one phased treatment (M = 2.3). Patient cooperation during orthodontic treatment does not seem to be affected by two phased treatment and to the contrary seems to have a positive impact when comparing it with individuals with one phased treatment. The most important factors found to influence cooperation were correlated with attitude, interest and commitment to treatment, patient and parental motivation. The OPCS scale proved to be useful for evaluating cooperation and making comparisons with other studies. RESUMEN: Evaluar las diferencias en la cooperación de los pacientes adolescentes en el tratamiento de ortodoncia activa entre los que recibieron una fase de tratamiento (sin tratamiento interceptivo previo o temprano) y los que recibieron el tratamiento de dos fases (tratamiento interceptivo previo o temprano y tratamiento correctivo posterior). Se realizó un estudio de cohorte prospectivo en 132 pacientes sometidos a tratamiento de ortodoncia entre 10 y 17 años en la clínica odontológica de la Universidad CES y en 9 consultorios privados en Medellín Colombia; se definieron dos grupos de 66 pacientes; uno que recibió dos fases de tratamiento y otro que recibió una fase de tratamiento. La Escala de Cooperación del Paciente de Ortodoncia (OPCS) se aplicó a todas las personas cada tres meses durante el primer año de tratamiento para evaluar la cooperación. Las diferencias estadísticas entre ambos grupos se evaluaron utilizando el programa de software SSPS®. Se observó una cooperación significativamente mayor (M = 4.6) en pacientes que habían recibido tratamiento dos fases en comparación con aquellos que solo fueron sometidos a una fase de tratamiento. (M = 2.3). La cooperación del paciente durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia no parece verse afectada por el tratamiento en dos fases y, por el contrario, parece tener un impacto positivo cuando se compara con individuos con un tratamiento en una fase. Los factores más importantes que influyeron en la cooperación se correlacionaron con la actitud, el interés y el compromiso con el tratamiento, la motivación del paciente y de los padres. La escala OPCS demostró ser útil para evaluar la cooperación y hacer comparaciones con otros estudios.
