Permanent canines are the foundation of an esthetic smile and functional occlusion. Any deviation from the normal sequence of development leads to the impaction of teeth. Among multiple treatment options, alignment of impacted canines into the arch is the best treatment approach. This report describes the surgical and orthodontic management of a buccally impacted permanent maxillary canine with mesial diastema DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cdcj.v9i2.12318 City Dental College J.

Background: The distribution of dental abnormalities specially missing tooth is common among the cleft palate & lip patient wherefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypodontia in case of Bangladeshi cleft population. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the congenital tooth deficiencies seen in permanent dentition in individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) to non-cleft individuals with Angle Class I malocclusion. Methodology: This is a retrospective case control study between UCLP and Angle Class l malocclusion patients. This study was done on OPG films taken before treatment from 80 patients who applied for orthodontic treatment. 40 individuals with UCLP between the ages of 12 - 16 years were compared with the 40 individuals with Angle Class I malocclusion with no CLP aged between 12 - 16 years. Individuals with UCLP; 21 clefts were on the left side and 19 clefts were on the right side. The congenitally deficient teeth were recorded from the OPG films. In this study, third molars were not included in the evaluation. Results: In this study, no differences were found in regard to the gender of the patient. The left side of the patients was affected substantially more than the right side. The frequency of the missing upper lateral incisors in the cleft side of the patients was significantly higher than the non-cleft side. Therapists of cleft patients need to be aware of the high variety of numerical alterations, as this is important for therapy planning and the applied treatment. Conclusion: The management of dental anomalies, which can easily be detected by careful inspection of routine orthodontic diagnostic records, should be taken into consideration in treatment planning of individuals with a cleft.

Introduction: The treatment of malocclusion places a considerable burden on health care resources globally, particularly when funded by public means. In an attempt to prioritize the treatment of malocclusion, various occlusal indices have been developed based on the severity of malocclusion and/or the conceivable destruction it may cause to oral health if left untreated. However, it has been recognized that perhaps people seek and undergo orthodontic treatment not because of anatomic irregularities, but because of the consequences of the esthetic impairment caused by a malocclusion. Thus, malocclusion and orthodontic care have become a quality-of-life issue. This study aimed to assess the significance of orthodontic treatment according to an index (Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need) among Bangladeshi school children in the late mixed dentition stage. Methods: This Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the Ideal School, Banasree Project, Rampura, Dhaka, and Faizur Rahman Ideal School, Banasree, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study was conducted from 25th September 2010 to 25th January 2011. A total of 126 school children were included in this study. Result: Among 126 school children, 39.68% belonged to the age of 10, 24.61% were the age of 11, and the rest 35.71% belonged to the age of 12. The study showed male predominance, having 75 (59.52%) males and 51 (40.48%) females. Among the study population, 19% of the children came from a family whose monthly income was 20000tk, while 13.50% and 11.90% of the children belonged to families whose income were 18000tk and 15000tk respectively and the rest of the families whose parent’s monthly income was less than 15000tk. About 50% of school students were diagnosed as Grade 1, 22.2% were in Grade 2, 24.6% were in Grade 3, 1.6% was in Grade 4 and 1.6% were in Grade 5. 28 respondents of age 10 years; 10 respondents of age 11 years; 25 respondents of age 12 years needed no treatment. 11 respondents of age 10 years; ......
:Objectives : To study the variations in arch length among different classes of dento-alveolar malocclusion in the permanent dentition. Materials and Methods: Both male and female Bangladeshi subjects with permanent dentition who attended during 1st July 2007 to 1st January 2011 to the Department of Orthodontics , BSMMU for treatment were included in this study. Dental arch length were measured from dental casts of the permanent dentition of 96 Bangladeshi subjects of which 48 male, 48 female, 24 class 1, 24 class 2 div. I, 24 class 2 div. II, 24 class III. Arch length was measured by adapting a length of brass wire (diameter 0.5 mm) on the maxillary and mandibular arches.
Aims: Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, interception and correction of malocclusion. The present study aimed at the common malocclusion problems and their management in Bangladeshi population. It was also aimed to align for aesthetics reason, functional efficiency and structural balance. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 120 respondents having malocclusions. Students, especially young women and urban residents were selected as the main respondents of our series which reflected its aesthetic value against malocclusion Results: Mean age of the respondents was 22.22±9.07 years with a male and female ratio of 1:3.1. Among the respondents, 37.5% were within the 11 to 20 years age group with a past (21.0%) and present (7.5%) history of finger sucking habit and abnormal over jet (71.7%) and over bite (55.8%). Mean over jet and overbite were 4.4 ±3.47 (range, -2 to 12) mm and 3.47±1.98 (range, 0 to 7) mm, respectively. Angles classification revealed type 1, type 2 (division 1), type 2 (division 2) and type 3 were 55.0%, 28.3%, 3.3% and 13.3%, respectively, and based on skeletal relationships, type 1, type 2 and type 3 were 64.2%, 25.0% and 10.8%, respectively. Of all patients, 66.7% had convex, 22.5% straight and 10.8% had concave face profiles. They also had 44.2% competent, 36.7% incompetent and 19.2% habitual competent anterior lip seals. Conclusions: Smile is a global language though many of our patients are deprived of both socially and economically, especially young women from this language. With growing importance imposed on preventive orthodontic treatment and proper oral health education, incidence of malocclusion can be reduced.
