Occipitalization of atlas is an osseous anomaly of the craniovertebral junction, which occurs at the base of the skull in the region of the foramen magnum. It is the fusion of first cervical vertebra with the occipital bone of the skull. A 16-year-old patient reported with chief complaint of irregularly placed teeth. Routine lateral cephalogram assessment revealed the presence of fusion between first cervical vertebrae (C-1) and base of skull. The radiographic investigation revealed the presence of fusion along with the clinical findings of short neck, short face, cleft palate, missing teeth, and pain during neck extension and flexion. Such cases of craniocervical anomaly can cause orthopedic and neurological problems like abnormal posture of head, restricted neck movements, cervical pain, pain in extremities, wasting of muscles, and convulsions. The comprehensive radiographic assessment of all structures visible in cephalogram of orthodontic patient can help in identification of such anomalies and sensitize the patients about symptomatic or asymptomatic condition.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the perception of patient’s soft tissue profiles treated with Damon and traditional braces (MBT) in non-extraction cases. Methods: The record of 14 patients (five Damon, five MBT, and four Duplicated) non extraction cases was included in the study. A total of 28 resulting profile silhouettes (pre- and post-treatment profile photographs) were evaluated by 90 examiners (orthodontists, general dentists, laypersons) using a Likert scale to rate the profiles randomly. Statistical analysis (Student t-test, ANOVA) revealed significant differences both between and within groups. Results: The Laypersons, General dentist, and Orthodontist significantly gave high scores for Damon system compared to (MBT system). It is seen that both male and female examiners gave high scores for Damon compared to MBT system. Conclusion: Damon system was found to have a perceptible difference in the profile improvement when compared to MBT with all three groups of examiners.

Aesthetics is one of the main concerns amongst most patients when approaching orthodontists for treatment, usually surpassing their functional requirements. Here we present a 24-year-old female patient who had undergone orthodontic treatment previously. However, she still had a deep bite present and desired an Aesthetic appliance to treat the same. This Modified Essix Retainer was developed with these considerations in mind.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic aspect of attractive smile and smile parameters in different growth patterns. Methods: Participants ranging in age from 17 to 25 years were randomly selected and videographic records of smile were obtained. A panel of two orthodontists, two prosthodontists, and two laypersons were involved in the selection of attractive smile. Inter-examiner variability was also assessed. The final sample of 84 participants with attractive smile were grouped into three categories based on clinical FMA into average, horizontal, and vertical growth pattern. Upper lip length = ULL-R, Lower lip length = LLL-R were measured on rest photographs. Upper lip length = ULL-S, Lower lip length = LLL-S, Upper lip thickness = ULT, Lower lip thickness = LLT, Maxillary incisal display = MID, Interlabial gap = ILG, Outer inter commissural width = ICW, Buccal corridor space = BC were measured on smile photographs. Pearson’s Chi-square test was done for the perception of attractiveness of smile. Differences among the three groups was subjected to one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc test. Results: Highly significant correlation was observed among orthodontists, prosthodontists, and laypersons in assessing attractiveness of smile. Vertical parameters such as upper lip length at rest, upper lip length during smile, lower lip length at rest, lower lip length during smile, and lower lip thickness (LLT) were significantly increased in the vertical pattern when compared with the average and horizontal growth pattern, whereas buccal corridor space was the least in horizontal growth pattern. Conclusion: Growth patterns appear to have an influence on perception of smile esthetics and smile parameters. This suggests that care should be taken while framing treatment goals considering the significant differences among growth patterns. Strong correlation was observed among orthodontists, prosthodontists, and laypersons in assessing attractiveness of smile. ULL-R, ULL-S, LLL-R, LLL-S, and ΔULL show a significantly higher value in vertical growth pattern when compared to average and horizontal growth pattern. The buccal corridor space (BC) among the participants was the least in horizontal growth pattern.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of bracket positioning in the incisogingival and mesiodistal aspects with the MBT gauge and new multipurpose bracket positioning tool. Materials and methods: Bracket positioning of maxillary anterior teeth (n=30) was assessed on the typhodont model. The UNC-15 (University of North Carolina) probe was modified as an MBP tool. Five different malocclusions: (a) Class II Division 1 (n=6); (b) Class II Division 2 (n=6); (c) Class I with mesially inclined maxillary anterior teeth (n=6); (d) Class I with crowding in maxillary anterior teeth-3 mm (n=6); (e) Class I with different vertical heights of maxillary anterior teeth (n=6). The measurements of the study were divided into three groups; Group A: Central Incisor, Group B: Lateral Incisor, and Group Canine, based on positioning with MBT Gauge and MBP tool. The measurements on each tooth were recorded using vernier calliper, on the basis of which the discrepancy in vertical and axial bracket positioning was assessed. Results: The comparative evaluation of the MBT gauge and MBP Tool showed statistically insignificant differences between all the groups (p>0.05). The mean standard deviation with the MBT gauge was 0.5-0.7 mm, whereas with the MBP tool was only 0.05- 0.3 mm only; suggesting clinical relevance and acuity during bracket positioning. Conclusion: The MBP tool is relatively accurate and comparable to the MBT gauge as the horizontal and vertical arm of the MBP tool facilitates proper visualization by coinciding with the long axis of the tooth on the typhodont model leading to augmented precision.

The mean standard deviation with the MBT gauge was 0.5-0.7 mm, whereas with the MBP tool was only 0.05- 0.3 mm only; suggesting clinical relevance and acuity during bracket positioning. Conclusion: The MBP tool is relatively accurate and comparable to the MBT gauge as the horizontal and vertical arm of the MBP tool facilitates proper visualization by coinciding with the long axis of the tooth on the typhodont model leading to augmented precision.","PeriodicalId":31847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Orthodontic Society","volume":"346 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139796509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
