Özet
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether there are differences in the duration of treatment and the quality of treatment results between patients whose entire treatment process is carried out by a single operator and those patients who are transferred to a second operator. One hundred twenty-three patients whose fixed orthodontic treatments were completed and included in the study, and their posttreatment plaster models and panoramic radiographs were used. Fifty-nine of the subjects were transfer patients, and their treatment was administered by 2 residents (transfer group). For the remaining 64 patients, all the treatment was carried out by a single resident (control group). Each group was further divided into 2 groups according to the treatment modality, resulting in 4 groups (nonextraction transfer group [n = 27], extraction transfer group [n = 32], nonextraction control group [n = 32], and extraction control group [n = 32]). The quality of the treatment outcomes was evaluated and compared using the American Board of Orthodontics cast-radiograph evaluation (CRE). The total mean CRE scores in the nonextraction transfer and nonextraction control groups were 35.74 and 29.88, respectively. The means of treatment duration in the nonextraction transfer and nonextraction control groups were 32.7 months and 17.25 months, respectively. The total mean CRE scores in the extraction transfer and extraction control groups were 39.53 and 31.41, respectively. The means of treatment duration in the extraction transfer and extraction control groups were 34.38 and 22.94 months, respectively. Differences between all the compared pairings were statistically significant. The transferred patients had longer treatment times and poorer treatment quality than the control group patients.
