KESESUAIAN RENCANA PERAWATAN ORTODONTIK LEPASAN BERDASARKAN INDEKS PONT DAN INDEKS HOWES YANG DILAKUKAN DI RSGM UMY
Abstract
Background: There are several considerations needed in determining orthodontic
treatment plans such as anamnesa, clinical examination, study model analysis,
study model examination, and cephalomety. Not all those data can be used as
considerations to determine treatment plan because there are many influencing
aspects. The study model analysis is one of the data that can be used in
determining orthodentic treatment plan. Pont index and Howes index are included
in the study model analysis that can be used on permanent dental period.
Research Objective: This research aims to find out the conformity of treatment
plan based on Pont index and Howes index with the treatment plan carried out by
co-assisstant dentist in RSGM UMY.
Research Methodology: This is an analytical observational research with cross
sectional design. The sample of this research is 68 patient’s study model for
removable orthodontic treatment from April 2016 – April 2017 in RSGM UMY.
Treatment plan will be determined based on study model measurement using
vernier calipers and analysed using Pont index and Howes index formula. The
analysis results is adjusted to the treatment plan of co-assisstant dentist in RSGM
UMY.
Research Results: Based on the chi-square test, it shows that there is a significant
relationship between the conformity and the treatment plan based on Pont index
and Howes index, because the p value is (0,005) < 0,05. The conformity
percentage between treatment plan based on Pont index and the treatment plan of
co-assistant dentist is 66,2%; Howes index and the treatment plan of co-assistant
dentist is 60,3%; and between Pont index, Howes index and the treatment plan of
co-assistant dentist is 39,7%.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between the conformity of removable
orthodontic treatment plan based on Pont index and Howes index which are
performed in RSGM UMY.
