“…Influence of occlusal interference on the temporomandibular joint was revealed using a quantitative ABO grading system and MPI. Usiang ABO criteria, it is possible to detect occlusal interference at early stages and prevent further pathological processes and disorders in TMJ ( Park et al, 2017 ).…”

Background Occlusal interference causes instability in temporomandibular joint and hyperactivity of mastication muscles which eventually leads to temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Therefore, achieving stable occlusion is important in young patients. It is key factor in optimizing functional occlusion in adulthood. Aim Application of «The ABO Model Grading System» and Mandibular Position Indicator as an additional diagnostic method in children undergoing orthodontic treatment using braces. Methods Thirty-two patients aged 14 to 18 diagnosed with teeth crowding on the upper and lower jaws were examined, then separated in two groups of 16 people each. All patients underwent orthodontic treatment using braces. Results In group 2, due to application the anthropometrical system of quantitative evaluation ABO with re-fixing the incorrectly arranged braces by indirect bonding method, occlusal interferences were eliminated. MPI analysis showed discrepancy between the central occlusion and the central relation which was not as relevant as in the group 1 (p > 0.05). Conclusion Using the anthropometric system of quantitative assessment of ABO with subsequent re-fixation of incorrectly placed braces by indirect bonding, effectively improves the MPI. This determines the unity of position between articular condyles on the lower jaw in the centric occlusion and in the centric relation, which allows to get a stable result of orthodontic treatment.

Background: Recognizing and reviewing the educational curricula of the specialized fields of dentistry and comparing it with the curricula of the top universities in the world will help to provide the necessary changes and corrections in postgraduate dental education, leading to more skilled specialists. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the orthodontics post graduate curriculum of Mashhad dental school with the top 10 international dental schools. Methods: Twenty-two of the world's top universities (10 main and 12 reserve) that offer orthodontics postgraduate programs were selected. A checklist including eight key factors and some secondary variables was prepared. These factors were classified as quantitative and qualitative. The checklist was filled with information provided by university websites and contacting program directors using email. A sample t-test and descriptive-analytic approach were respectively used to analyze the quantitative and qualitative data. Results: Among the quantitative factors that were evaluated, only the “percentage of completely treated patients” was significantly lower in Mashhad dental school compared with that of the top 10 international dental schools. There was no significant difference regarding the length of study, the number of professors, and the number of patients visited by each resident. Among the qualitative factors, the most diversity was seen in certificates awarded to graduates. Conclusions: No significant difference was observed in didactic education, clinical training, and research project conduction between the orthodontics post graduate program of Mashhad dental school and top-tier international universities.
