“…Numerous studies have been published on the prevalence of malocclusion with reported prevalence ranging from 39% to 98%. (24,25) Our result is in line with Sayin et al, reporting that Class I was the most frequently seen malocclusion in Turkish orthodontic population. (26) However, no significant relation was found between malocclusion and sleeping habits which may be attributed to limited sample size.…”

Objective: Sleep disorders are common among children and have a negative impact on growth and development. Recently reports demonstrate a possible association with oral findings as well. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between sleeping habits, bruxism, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), traumatic dental injuries (TDI) and dental caries in children. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at IAU Faculty of Dentistry with a representative sample of a hundred children aged between 6-13. Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was completed by their parents. Intra oral examination was carried out in a clinical setting and presence of nocturnal bruxism, history of TDI were recorded for each child. Results: Among sleeping habits, bed time resistance was found significantly related with children who had nocturnal bruxism and temporomandibular disorders. Untreated dental caries was also found significantly associated with sleep fragmentation. However, no relation was found with traumatic dental injuries. Conclusion: Children with symptoms of bruxism, TMD and untreated dental caries might experience negative impacts on their sleeping habits and characteristics. Pediatricians and pedodontists should work in collaboration to identify causes and clinical features of sleeping habits and disorders in order to avoid negative effects on stomatognathic system.

“…Class II malocclusion is one of the most prevalent orthodontic problems in the Caucasian population [27][28][29]. It might cause detrimental aesthetic effects and social impairment in children's daily lives as it affects their oral-health-related quality of life, and it is a risk factor for dental traumas [30].…”

Distribution of the Condylion-Gonion-Menton (CoGoMe^) Angle in a Population of Patients from Southern Italy

et al. 2019

The condylion-gonion-menton angle (CoGoMe^) is commonly used as a pre-treatment indicator of responsiveness in Class II patients treated with functional appliances. The distribution of this angle in the Caucasian population is still unknown. This study aimed to determine the distribution of the CoGoMe^ and its relationship with age, sagittal jaw relationship (ANPg^), and mandibular inclination (SN^GoGn) in patients from Southern Italy. The sample included 290 subjects (median14 years of age; Interquartile range, IQR, 12–17) with lateral cephalograms taken before the orthodontic treatment. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ was assessed with the Shapiro–Wilk test, and the differences according to the ANPg^ and the SN^GoGn were estimated using one-way ANOVA. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate how the CoGoMe^ varied according to age. The statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. The results showed that the CoGoMe^ was normally distributed (P = 0.290) with a mean value of 127.2° ± 7.7°. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ in groups with different SN^GoGn angles was significantly different (P < 0.001). These angles showed a positive association (Beta coefficient B = 0.6; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.67; P < 0.001). In growing patients, the CoGoMe^ decreased every year by 0.6° (B = −0.6; 95% CI: −1.05, −0.12; P = 0.014). In conclusion, the CoGoMe^ was associated with mandibular inclination and could be considered to be a predictor of vertical growth patterns.

“…Malocclusion is a frequent finding among adolescents and adult, [9,10], and fixed orthodontic therapy is the most common approach for treating different types of malocclusions. However, despite the effectiveness of the multibracket fixed therapy, this type of treatment makes the dental hygiene procedures more difficult due to the presence of brackets, bands, and archwires [11].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the periodontal health of orthodontic patients with supportive periodontal therapy in a 3 month follow-up. The sample comprised 20 patients (mean age 20.6 ± 8.1 years) in treatment with multibracket fixed appliances (fixed group—FG) and 20 patients (mean age 34.7 ± 12.5 years) in treatment with clear aligners (clear aligners group—CAG). At baseline (T0) and after 3 months (T1), probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival recession (REC) were measured. Patients were trained to perform an individualized tooth brushing technique, and every 2 weeks they were re-called to reinforce the oral hygiene instructions. The intra-group comparisons (T1 vs. T0) were calculated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, while a linear regression model was used for the inter-group comparisons (FG vs. CAG). The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Statistically significant decrease in both groups was found for PD (FG: Δ, −9.2 inter-quartile range (IQR), −22.5, −5.5; CAG: Δ, −12.6 IQR, −25.4, −4.8), BOP (FG: Δ, −53.5 IQR, −70.5, −37; CAG: Δ, −37.5 IQR, −54.5, −23), and PI (FG: Δ, −17.5 IQR, −62.5, 14.5; CAG: Δ, −24 IQR, −49.5, −5). The result of the linear regression models suggested that the type of appliance did not have any effects on the improvement of periodontal variables. Therefore, patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and clear aligners did not show differences in gingival health when followed by a dental hygienist.
