Comparison of KIX-index
Results and Conclusions KIX-index demonstrated significant differences at all the three time points (p < 0.005). The mean KIX-index before treatment was 1.261 for Group N and 1.486 for Group R. Stability after overjet and overbite correction tended to increase as KIX-index approached its normal range. The difficulty of correcting overjet and overbite with early treatment seemed to increase in patients with the KIX value exceeding 1.5, suggesting a higher probability of these patients needing Phase II orthodontic and/or surgical treatment. |
