“…Unexpectedly, although adolescence is a period in life when a young person expresses a strong need to be primarily accepted by peer groups, 57.6% of them stated that their family was the most important factor for the sentiment of wellbeing. This finding was significant and consistent with similar studies [32,33] because families can strongly affect the forming and establishment of good oral habits and health.…”

Adolescence represents specific period of life and development, when young person is going through physical, emotional and mental changes, risking poor general and oral health outcome that might affect quality of life. Negative effects of poor oral health are various: difficulties with speaking and eating, pain and malfunction. This might cause emotional and mental problems, leading to avoidance of speaking, smiling and socializing with friends. Cross-sectional study included 234 participants (15-16 years old). The research instruments used in the study were questionnaire and clinical examination. Questionnaire referred to socio-demographic characteristics of participants, their oral and general health related habits, self-evaluation of confidence and successfulness and effect of oral impacts on daily performances. Clinical examination was used to determine dental status in terms of tooth loss, need for prosthodontic rehabilitation and presence of dental malocclusion. Results: 24.6% (58) of adolescents had at least one tooth missing. Significant difference between the genders was obtained, as 32.5% girls had at least one tooth extracted compared to 8.1% of boys. Normative need for prosthodontic rehabilitation was present in 22.0% of subjects. Dental problems negatively affected their sleep and emotions (14.4% and 10.2% few times in period of one month). Data analyses pointed one correlation between extracted teeth and psychosocial aspect of participants' life (difficulties and embarrassment when smiling, talking and spending time with friends, emotional problems). Unmet normative need for prosthodonic or orthodontic treatment affected participants' ability to sleep and relax. Percentage of adolescents with extracted teeth was high, as well as normative treatment need for prosthodontic rehabilitation. Poor dental status affected quality of life of adolescents, especially emotional and mental well-being. Dental service should provide sufficient information to adolescents about prevention of tooth loss and consequences of teeth extraction, not only within masticatory function but also concerning oral health related quality of life.

“…Women living with VI already experience loss of independence and autonomy (see Touyz et al, 1988). The uptake of the gender discourse of self-silencing, then, in which there is a compromise to agency through the privileging of the needs of others over the self, particularly in relationships, could intensify already existing stressors around loss of independence and autonomy for women living with VI (Dumitrescu, Dogaru, Duţă, Zetu, & Zetu, 2014; Hambrook et al, 2011; Touyz et al, 1988; Vandereycken, 1986). Such intensification might in turn exacerbate a tendency to body shame and disordered eating attitudes.…”

Internalization of cultural standards of attractiveness and subscription to gender-based discourses are significant predictors of disordered eating attitudes in fully sighted women. Yet, whether these variables predict the disordered eating attitudes of women who are legally blind is underexplored. In the current study, we examined how internalization of White European cultural standards of attractiveness and subscription to gender-based discourses (body surveillance and self-silencing) and body shame predicted the disordered eating attitudes of 80, primarily White, heterosexual, Australian women who are legally blind. Participants completed an online survey comprising existing validated measures of all variables. A path analysis was performed using the Hayes PROCESS approach. As predicted, in women living with vision impairment, body surveillance, self-silencing, and shame fully mediated the relation between internalization of cultural standards of attractiveness and disordered eating attitudes. Results showed that in much the same way as sighted women, women living with vision impairment are susceptible to internalizing harmful messages related to socio-cultural standards of attractiveness. We provide further support for including subscription to gender-based discourses in research on women’s body-image disturbances. Data will be available for other researchers from the author via email.

“…The possibilities and limits of the orthodontic treatment are conditioned by the shape and size of the basal bone of the two jaws, genetically determined and which cannot be modified by treatment. If we accept as possible the influence directional of the alveolar arch, parallel to the muscular rebalancing, we must not forget that if under the action of a mechanical factor the alveolar arch will not commensurate with the size and shape of the basal bone, recurrence will occur [29,30].…”

The harmonious psycho-somatic development of the human body, implicitly the sanogenesis of the dento-maxillary apparatus, is the subject of major concerns highlighted by numerous socio-economic actions and of prophylactic and curative medicine, planned and directed. In this context, the problems regarding the etiopathogenic, clinical and therapeutic particularities of the dento-alveolar disharmony through the dento-alveolar incongruity during the growth period, are greatly actual, precisely because of the increasing frequency of this anomaly, especially due to the dento-implications, paradontal, occlusal, aesthetic, masticatory, dishomeostatic and psycho-social, which they generate. Dento-alveolar disharmony with incongruence, is characterized by the disproportion between the size of the teeth and the size of the alveolar arches, aspect also known as dental clogging or disarming - crunching jaw. The various and numerous causes, the diversity of the board clinical associations and especially the association of dental crushes with common clinical signs and other dento-maxillary abnormalities, especially during this period of morphological and functional modeling, require a certain clinical and therapeutic discernment, careful observation, in order to diagnose correctly, completely and obviously the recommendation and individualization of the most appropriate therapeutic solutions. A number of 17 subjects with age limits of 6.6-17 years were investigated, presenting various clinical forms of dento-alveolar disharmony with incongruence, with the distribution of sexes being: 8 girls and 9 boys. The prognosis is most often unfavorable. Diagnosed late, in permanent dentition, involves complex, more laborious, surgical-orthodontic long-term treatments.
