Lip biting habit can cause severe malocclusions and should be intercepted early in age. The lip bumper device is a helpful treatment as it can stop the habit and prevent the resulting malocclusion. Lip biting habit is intercepted by removable or fixed lip bumper. A simplified appliance for lip biting habit that is easy to fabricate and is more accepted and comfortable for the patient was designed. It consists of a thermoplastic sheet with a labial acrylic pad as in a conventional lip bumper appliance. Improved patient compliance was noted with added advantage of ability to maintain better oral hygiene.

Torque in orthodontics plays a significant role in final positioning of the teeth. This twisting force in wire helps in transferring the applied forces to bracket, which sometimes causes deformation of slot. This slot deformation can vary torque prescription and affect tooth position. To compare the deformation of slots of different bracket materials after torque application using finite element analysis. A finite element model of maxillary central incisor with bracket slot 0.022 × 0.028 inch dimensions was constructed. The different bracket materials such as stainless steel (SS), ceramic, and titanium were used with rectangular SS archwire (0.019 × 0.025 inch). The slot deformation was obtained after various degrees of torque application at 5°, 10°, 15°, and 20°. This slot deformation was also seen at the top, middle, and bottom locations in the slot. All these models were then analyzed using the Ansys software. The results showed that there was a gradual increase in deformation of all the bracket slot walls from bottom to top locations. The bracket slot deformation for 20° twist was 0.78, 1.85, and 4.53mm (SS); 0.24, 0.70, and 2.50 mm (ceramic bracket), and 1.82, 2.85, and 4.83 mm (titanium brackets) in bottom, middle, and top slot wall locations, respectively. Slot deformation was seen highest in titanium brackets and least in ceramic brackets. Further in the slot wall, the deformation was highest in top location as compared to middle and bottom locations.

To evaluate and correlate the maturation stage of the midpalatal suture, CVM stages, mandibular left second molar mineralization stages of the subjects by CBCT. One hundred subjects (55 males and 45 females) with a mean age of 13.56 ± 4.46 years, were divided into five midpalatal suture maturational stage groups (A to E). Cervical vertebral maturational stages on lateral cephalograms and second molar mineralization stages on orthopantograms from the CBCT images obtained from Carestream CS 9300C 3D system were analyzed and correlation among them were calculated by Spearman’s coefficient of correlation and midpalatal suture maturation stage prediction accuracy estimated with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and likelihood ratio. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a highly significant (p value < .001) and positive correlation between MPS stage and CVM Stage (r = 0.930), MPS stage and mandibular left second molar mineralization stage (r = 0.757), and CVM stage and mandibular left second molar mineralization stage (r = 0.760). Cervical vertebral maturation stages 1,2, and 3 can be used clinically to predict the midpalatal suture maturation stages A, B, and C, respectively, as their likelihood ratios were more than 10. Second molar mineralization stages had less predictive value for MPS stages.

To evaluate effect of growth hormone (GH) therapy in craniofacial development in children with or without growth hormone deficiency. The systematic review was conducted by searching the electronic databases—PubMed, Cochrane clinical trials register, Google scholar, and EBSCO host. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies published till January 2022 were included. The risk of bias was assessed by Risk-Of-Bias VISualization (ROBVIS) tool. The risk of bias of the included studies was presented as a “traffic light” plot of individual studies and a summary diagram. Data was studied by two authors and any dispute was resolved by another reviewer. A total of 964 articles were obtained through electronic database search. After eliminating the duplicates, 13 articles met inclusion criteria. Of the 13 studies, 8 studies had moderate risk of bias, 2 had serious risk of bias, and 1 had critical risk of bias as per the ROBINS-I assessment. According to the RoB 2, two studies were having high risk of bias. The maxillary length, the mandibular length, and the cranial base length increased post-GH therapy, causing an overall increase in the facial height. The limitation of GH therapy was in the transverse direction as maxillary and mandibular arch dimensions remained almost equal to those in the untreated subjects. Dentition had minimal influence of GH therapy. The systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database under CRD42021257044.

Publication trends are pointers to areas of scientific interest and enquiry. The aim of this study is to peruse the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics (AJODO) over a 10 years’ period between 2013 and 2022 for original articles. The objective of the study is to analyze topic wise distribution, geographical location of contributors, and specific contribution from India. Original articles alone were taken into consideration. A total of 1,270 articles were classified according to the topic classification grid used by the journal. Of the 22 broad topics, topic head No.160 – Treatment & Biomechanics had the maximum publication at 352 articles (27.7%) and topic head No.20 – Biostatistics was the least. Special mention is warranted to the topic head No.120 - Psychology/Sociology with 129 articles (10.15%). USA had the most publication (19.4%) and India ranked 10th with a rate of 1.8%. Even though Treatment & Biomechanics as a topic head had 352 articles, it included 16 subheads. However, Public health and Psychology/Sociology were narrower areas with a greater number of articles. It can be inferred that there is a definite shift in interest toward public health and public perception.

The aim of this study was to evaluate, using the finite element method (FEM), the stresses generated on various parts of the mini-screw and on the bone resulting from the insertion of mini-screws of varying lengths and under different forces. Three-dimensional models of mini-screws (1.6 × 6, 8, and 10 mm) and bone (mandible cortical bone thickness of 2 mm) were constructed and simulated using FEM. The mini-screws were inserted using force loads of 10 and 20 Ncm, and stress evaluation was carried out on screws and bone. The stress evaluation was also performed across different levels of insertion (at the point of insertion, half-insertion, and full insertion). A direct correlation between the force applied and the stresses on the body of the screws was observed. There was an inverse relationship between the length of the mini-screw and the resulting stress on the bone with the highest stress of 14.58 Mpa with 6 mm long and the minimum stress of 3.81 Mpa with longer mini-screws. On application of different force magnitudes, the stress levels increased linearly with a change in the length. The highest stresses on the bone were observed only when the screw was fully inserted in the bone. When mini-screws of different lengths were inserted using different magnitudes of forces, the stress levels increased linearly on the bone. A combination of longer mini-screw and lesser force magnitude used during insertion produced less stress on the bone.

The aim of this study is to determine the factors that are effective in seeking orthodontic treatment of Turkish adult individuals and to evaluate the effects of demographic characteristics such as gender, age, marital status, and educational status of the participants on these factors comparatively. A questionnaire-based study was applied to participants who want to receive orthodontic treatment. In the first part, the participants were asked about demographic information such as gender, age, marital status, occupation, and educational status. A total of 542 people (330 female and 212 male) were included in our study. The age of participants included in the study ranged between 18 and 45. Questions about oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and the factors that affect in seeking orthodontic treatment were asked in the second part of the questionnaire. Young adults and females were found to have a higher rate of seeking orthodontic treatment. When the participants were asked what led them to orthodontic treatment, 72.1% of the participants stated that they thought it as a necessity such that they should receive orthodontic treatment. Material selection in orthodontic treatment shows statistical significance according to demographic characteristics ( p < 0.05). While 48% of the participants in the 18ȓ24 age group preferred metal orthodontic brackets, 37.9% of the participants in the 25–45 age group preferred clear aligner. Moreover, 40.4% of the married participants preferred clear aligner, while 45.1% of the single participants preferred metal orthodontic brackets. The factors in seeking orthodontic treatment of individuals vary according to demographic characteristics and social environment of individuals.

Background With orthodontic patient demographics expanding to involve more adults, the demand for esthetic appliances is greater and orthodontists are keen on offering their patients more discreet and even invisible options. Clear aligners are a very viable option which offers all this, and it is noteworthy that more and more orthodontists in India are practicing the craft. Keeping this vision in mind, and the fact that aligners are revolutionary and here to stay, this study was conducted to assess the efficiency of various tooth movements carried out with clear aligner therapy as compared to traditional orthodontic treatment. Aim This questionnaire-based survey aimed to analyze and assess the orthodontists’ perception and experience of various tooth movements carried out with clear aligner in their routine clinical practice in India. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted by sending out a questionnaire on a virtual platform. It was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Dental Institute it was carried out in (Ref no: SDCH/IEC/OUT 2021/13). A sample size of 205 participants within the age group of 27–59 years was taken. The participants comprised of orthodontists practicing in various parts of India. A questionnaire, comprising of 22 closed-ended questions, was created on Google forms and circulated to participants using various social media platforms. The data of responses of participants were analyzed and evaluated with the help of chi-square test and p values were interpreted for the significance of responses. Results This survey analyzed the experience of orthodontists with respect to the various tooth movements carried out with clear aligners. There were mixed responses, but most of them suggested the aligners to be either same in effectiveness or poorer than the fixed appliances in carrying out various tooth movements. Conclusion This questionnaire-based survey helped in analyzing the orthodontists’ perception on the use of clear aligners in their routine clinical practice in India. It most importantly helped in assessing various kinds of tooth movements achievable with clear aligners. It also helped in getting an opinion on the movements presently not possible with aligners alone. This study clearly suggests that the general perception amongst the orthodontists is that more advancement is needed as far as aligners are concerned before they become competent enough to deal with various tooth movements easily achievable with fixed appliances.

A questionnaire, comprising of 22 closed-ended questions, was created on Google forms and circulated to participants using various social media platforms. The data of responses of participants were analyzed and evaluated with the help of chi-square test and p values were interpreted for the significance of responses. Results This survey analyzed the experience of orthodontists with respect to the various tooth movements carried out with clear aligners. There were mixed responses, but most of them suggested the aligners to be either same in effectiveness or poorer than the fixed appliances in carrying out various tooth movements. Conclusion This questionnaire-based survey helped in analyzing the orthodontists’ perception on the use of clear aligners in their routine clinical practice in India. It most importantly helped in assessing various kinds of tooth movements achievable with clear aligners. It also helped in getting an opinion on the movements presently not possible with aligners alone. This study clearly suggests that the general perception amongst the orthodontists is that more advancement is needed as far as aligners are concerned before they become competent enough to deal with various tooth movements easily achievable with fixed appliances.","PeriodicalId":31847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Orthodontic Society","volume":"65 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135479743","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}

Objective To assess the association between hypodontia and skeletal malocclusions in orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study comprised of orthodontic records of 40 hypodontic patients (12 males and 28 females) and 120 non hypodontic patients (58 males and 62 females) as control group matched for gender and age with the study sample who came to the orthodontic department for their treatment were selected. Orthopantamograms were evaluated for hypodontia, whereas lateral cephalogram were traced to determine the cephalometric parameters. The association between different classes of skeletal malocclusion and hypodontia was determined using Pearson’s Chi-square test and the cephalometric parameters between patients with hypodontia and without hypodontia (controls) were assessed using Student’s t-test. Result In hypodontic group, 19 (47.5%) patients had skeletal class II, 18 (45%) patients had skeletal class I, and only 3 (7.5%) patients had skeletal class III malocclusions. Whereas in non-hypodontic group (control group), 86 (53.75%) patients had skeletal class II, 63 (39.38%) patients had skeletal class I, and 11 (6.87%) patients had skeletal class III malocclusions. There was no statistical difference between hypodontia and different skeletal classes of malocclusions ( p = .654). Cephalometric parameters between the control group and hypodontic group did not reveal any significant difference ( p > .05). Conclusion This study did not find any association between different classes of skeletal malocclusions and hypodontia. The cephalometric skeletal parameters were not significantly different in hypodontic and control group. It is suggested that the patients having hypodontia will be evaluated on an individual basis for their treatment.

A new orthodontic index was proposed by the College of Diplomates to assess the degree of difficulty of cases submitted for the IBO Phase III clinical examinations. This article is the continuation of Parts I and II of the article, which gave a brief insight into the need and the methodology undertaken to formulate this index. A weightage score grading the degree of difficulty was formulated based on the Dental, Cephalometric, and Miscellaneous components. An Aesthetic component was also developed. Further statistical evaluation was done to formulate a cut-off score required for cases submitted for the Phase III examination. This index would help to categorize the malocclusion in a structured manner.
