Web-based survey: Surgeon practice patterns regarding intraoperative intermaxillary fixation and postoperative occlusal control in patients treated with orthodontic aligners.

Welcome!

Thank you for your willingness to participate in this research project.

As part of my doctoral studies, I am conducting an international survey to gain insight regarding intraoperative intermaxillary fixation and postoperative occlusal control used by maxillofacial surgeons during orthognathic surgery in patients orthodontically prepared with clear aligners.

Your expertise and experience are essential to understanding current practices and the factors that influence them and will provide valuable information for future clinical and academic developments in this field.

Thank you in advance for your time and collaboration!

The questionnaire consists of a limited number of questions and should require only a few minutes to complete. Your contribution will provide valuable information for future clinical and academic developments in this field.

Thank you in advance for your time and collaboration.

There are 28 questions in this survey.

This survey is anonymous.

The record of your survey responses does not contain any identifying information about you, unless a specific survey question explicitly asked for it.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Dear participant,

As sponsor of this study, UZ Leuven would like to provide you with information regarding the processing of personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – EU Regulation 2016/679).

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary. The purpose of this study is to investigate current surgeon practice patterns regarding fixation techniques after osteotomy prepared with orthodontic aligners.

This study is conducted as an anonymous survey. No directly identifiable personal data (such as name, date of birth, address, phone number, IP address, or patient identifiers) will be collected. The survey responses cannot be traced back to individual participants.

Limited demographic information may be collected, such as age category, gender, country of practice, years of experience, or professional background. These data will only be used for scientific and statistical analysis purposes and will be processed in an anonymized manner.

All collected data will be securely stored on protected institutional servers of UZ Leuven and will only be accessible to authorized members of the research team. The results of this study may be published in scientific journals, presented at conferences, or used for academic purposes. However, individual participants will never be identifiable in any publication or presentation.

UZ Leuven acts as the data controller for this study and processes the collected information exclusively for scientific research purposes carried out in the public interest.

In accordance with applicable legislation and institutional policy, anonymized research data may be retained for future scientific research and archiving purposes.

Because this survey is anonymous, it may not be possible to identify or remove individual responses once submitted.

If you have any questions regarding this study or the processing of your data, you may contact the principal investigator or the Data Protection Officer of UZ Leuven:

[1] The new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that has been in effect since 25 May 2018 provides additional requirements about how companies or organizations can use your personal data. One of these requirements is that in addition to the description you can find on this subject in the informed consent form, UZ Leuven provides you with information regarding the processing of your personal data.

[2]The current legislation obliges to store personal information that is part of this study for 20 years (and - if applicable - the European Regulation regarding clinical drug trials, extends this storage term to 25 years). In case of a study drug for an innovative therapy in which human bodily material is being used, this storage period is at least 30 years and at the most 50 years in accordance with the Belgian law of 19 December 2008 concerning the use of human bodily material and the applicable Royal Decrees.
