“…Other researches in the begging of the 90's also showed that the percentage of adult patients searching for treatment was 30% which was estimated to increase by the end of the decade due to the use of preventive measures allowing patients to reach adulthood with a greater number of teeth in the mouth [4]. In this present study, if we consider as adult, patients older than 20 years-old, groups 2 and 3 can be analyzed together, resulting in a mean of 28.14% of adult patients who started orthodontic treatment in the studied period, which is in agreement with most of the studies [2,4].…”

Preventive measures in Dentistry and the modernization of the orthodontics appliances led adult patients to seek orthodontic treatment to improve their appearance and social acceptance, as well as function and oral health. Adult patients present some peculiarities such as periodontal disease and tooth loss which complicates the mechanotherapy, requiring a multidisciplinary team and a more complex mechanics. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify the proportion of young and adult patients who started orthodontic treatment in the period from 2000 to 2010, as well as the total percentage, and to correlate male and female values. The sample of 3,272 patients was divided into three groups according to the age: up to 20 (group 1), from 20 to 40 (group 2) and above 40 years-old (group 3), according to gender. It was found that most patients were young (group 1: 71.85%). However, the number of adults from 20 to 40 years-old represents a considerable share of 26.52%. Above 40 years-old, 1.61% patients sought for orthodontic treatment. If we consider the patient in the age-range above 20 years-old as adult, there was a considerable increasing in the values from 12.14%, in 2000 to 27.81% in 2010, especially in females (31.26%), mainly in groups 2 and 3, showing that dental aesthetics is an important factor for the individual social insertion.

“…There are malocclusions defined as being harmful to oral health according to DHC, although no aesthetic impairment is involved. On the other hand, there are cases defined only by AC as being of great treatment need because they are considered unaesthetic, which are not evaluated by DHC (1,21,27).…”

Abstract:The objective of the present study was to evaluate the interest of both children and parents towards orthodontic treatment and compare it to the normative treatment need as well as to determine the factors related to such an interest. The sample consisted of 407 schoolchildren aged between 9 and 12 years and their parents from Nova Friburgo (Rio de Janeiro), Brazil. The orthodontic concern expressed by children and parents was obtained by means of a questionnaire. The normative need was evaluated using two components of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Data analysis involved multiple logistic regression. Normative treatment need was greater than the children's self-perceived treatment need. The parents expressed more interest towards orthodontic treatment of their children than the children themselves. The orthodontic concern expressed by both groups was greater than the normative need for orthodontic treatment, and such a finding was associated with gender of the children (female) and self-perceived treatment need expressed by them. The lack of a relationship between the normative treatment need and the orthodontic concern of children and parents shows that such assessments should be performed when orthodontic treatment is indicated, particularly in terms of public health, as the demand is greater than the services supplied.
