Normal occlusion is analyzed in three dimensions- sagittal, vertical and transverse, and any deviation in these three parameters are further attributed to skeletal, dental, habitual or a combination of the three factors. Open bite characterized by insufficient or absence of contact between anterior and/or posterior teeth have been found to be one of the most complex vertical malocclusion to treat with high tendency for relapse in both surgical and non surgical intervention. The aim of the article is to arrive at a precise diagnosis and classify with early intervention using the most appropriate treatment and retention modalities to achieve long term functional and esthetic goals.

: Paediatricians are the first health professional who are more likely to encounter the children’s problems during developing years. Their knowledge and skill to identify the intraoral health issues is of prime importance for making appropriate decisions about referral for early effective intervention, most likely with the maxillomandibular relationship. The aim of the study to evaluate the knowledge and practical approach of the paediatricians towards identification of malocclusion and its effects on oral health issues. A cross sectional questionnaire based study (30 questions) was conducted among 240 randomly selected pediatricians in South district of Tamil Nadu, India, about the knowledge in oral health and malocclusion. This study was carried out for three months time period and response to questionnaires were tabulated in Microsoft Excel software and sent for statistical analysis. This study results indicate that the knowledge about malocclusion and orthodontic treatment among the study population was low. Among the total participants 92% of the pediatricians agreed that their role in identification and prevention of malocclusion is inevitable, but the implementation of the same in their daily practice was comparatively less (16%). This was due to their opinion that identification of malocclusion is more difficult and time-consuming process in their routine daily practice (88%). Pediatrician’s have to be emphasized on the importance of normal relationship of dental structures in children and their knowledge regarding malocclusion should be enlightened to decrease the severity of the same in children during their later period of the life.

An excellent orthodontic finishing is the goal of every orthodontist. A clear-cut vision of end goals should set the objectives of any orthodontic treatment sequence. The finishing procedures are considered from the beginning stages of the treatment, as a part of total scheme of treatment. Finishing and detailing is the last step in orthodontic treatment, before active treatment is discontinued. It is to ensure that the teeth and the related structures are positioned in such a way it will lead to a better retention and stability, enhancement of aesthetics, optimized functions of the stomatognathic system and an improvement of the health of the periodontium. Recently, lingual orthodontics is one of the emerging trends for adult patients as it increases their self esteem, so this review article highlights the finishing techniques in lingual orthodontics.

In the process of providing temporary anchorage, orthodontic implants have become one of the best method in the field of orthodontics in providing anchorage in clinical practice. They are very much useful in controlling the skeletal anchorage, or in some of the cases where absolte anchorage is required. In the field of orthodontics, anchorage is always the worrying factor. There were so many anchorage devices were used whether extra orally and intra orally till date, but no satisfactory solution was found for the same, till the introduction of implants in the field of orthodontics. There are lot of advantages for the using implants in orthodontics as, they are very much easy to be inserted, available in the market in low price, the level of the patient discomfort was reduced with the use of implant, immediate loading can be done for the same, they are easy to clean, and are quite easy for removal.

Vertical dimension issues are frequently regarded as the most difficult dentofacial problems to treat in clinical practice. The difficulty level increases when vertical dysplasia is paired with sagittal discrepancy. The use of mini-implants in Orthodontics has broadened the scope of orthodontic treatment options. The treatment of a 14-year-old female patient with skeletal Class II malocclusion, slight hyperdivergent profile, and enhanced incisor visibility with four premolar extraction followed by comprehensive orthodontic treatment to correct the convex profile and increased incisor visibility, with two posterior implants for retraction and a midline mini implant for intrusion of the anterior maxillary dentoalveolar segment is described in this case report. The active therapy period was 25 months long.

There is a lack of accurate three-dimensional studies to locate malar prominence for specified population, this study aims to locate the malar prominence using stable landmarks using CBCT. To derive a novel method to accurately locate the malar prominence and to assess and compare the malar prominence between males and females among Bangalore population using 3D CBCT study. All CBCT scans of study subjects belong to Bangalore population were collected from the pre-existing data available in Radiology imaging Solutions (CBCT centre), Bangalore during the period of September 10th to October 10th 2020. This is a descriptive study. A total of 42 subjects including 21 Males and 21 females were assessed using full skull CBCT scans which were converted to DICOM format and reconstructed into 3D images using NEMOCEPH 3D software. Landmarks used to locate the malar prominence were Fzs, Z, Zm and Ans. The intersection of these landmarks is considered to be as constructed maxillozygion(My). For the accuracy of the constructed Maxillozygion point (My), the distance between the actual Maxillozygion (Mzy) and constructed Maxillozygion (My) is measured and calculated between left and right halves of males and females. Three Orthogonal planes constructed were Midsagittal, Axial and Coronal Planes and the linear measurements with reference to all three reference planes in both the groups are measured. Student paired t- Test, Independent Student t Test, Mann Whitney Test. The mean distance from Mzy and my between right and left half of the face was compared using student paired t- Test. There is no significant difference (p=0.35).The mean values of the constructed anatomical landmark (maxillozygion) coordinated to three orthogonal planes between right and left sides of the face is compared using student paired T test and for both the genders (males and females) was compared using Independent Student t Test, and it is significantly higher in males as compared to females and it is statistically significant at (p=0.01). The location of malar prominence using CBCT by a novel method for Bangalore population is found which can be helpful in diagnosis and treatment planning for malar augmentation, camouflage treatment in subjects with midface deficiencies.

Extraction therapies are commonly done in patients with protrusion and/or crowding which demands a thorough understanding of biomechanics. Two basic types of space closing mechanics are friction/sliding and frictionless/loop mechanics. In the former, the wire and position of the bracket are important factors in tooth movement but the simplicity of friction mechanics is offset by the binding between bracket and archwire and may be associated with undesirable side effects such as uncontrolled tipping and deep bite. In frictionless mechanics, specially designed springs are used which provides the required moment to force ratio (M/F ratio) in three dimensions and they are more predictable and versatile. An electronic literature search was conducted via google scholar, PubMed, and dental associations’ of different countries’ website using the key word “Loops” and “Frictionless mechanics.Different configuration of loops have been used in orthodontic treatment and a comprehensive review of types of loops commonly used in retraction has been highlighted in this article.: Provide appropriate messages of about 35-50 words to be printed in centre box:In frictionless mechanics, specially designed springs are used which provides the required moment to force ratio in three dimensions and they are more predictable and versatile.
