“…On the other hand, the control group of adolescents without JIA was consecutively recruited among individuals attending the orthodontic clinic for a first consultation. Therefore, it might be speculated that those subjects and their parents who were seeking orthodontic treatment were more concerned about their dental status and the appearance of their teeth [48]. Hence, these findings might not be extended to the general population of healthy adolescents.…”

This study aimed to assess whether dental aesthetics had a different impact on the psychosocial domains of adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as compared with healthy peers. Fifty JIA patients and eighty controls aged between 13 and 17 years were enrolled. The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) was administered along with tools for the self-assessment of malocclusion and self-esteem. An objective evaluation of malocclusion severity was performed through a clinical evaluation with the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). The sample was divided according to the DAI stages of malocclusion severity; a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess whether there was a difference in the studied variables according to the malocclusion and the presence of JIA. The results showed no interaction between the malocclusion severity and the presence of JIA in all analyzed variables (all p > 0.05). According to the DAI stages, the Dental Self-Confidence domain of the PIDAQ and the Perception of Occlusion Scale showed statistically significant differences only within the controls (p = 0.027 and p = 0.014, respectively). Therefore, JIA adolescents seem to be less concerned about their dental aesthetics compared with healthy peers, and clinicians should take particular care when proposing orthodontic treatments aiming only to improve dental aesthetics.

BACKGROUND The early treatment of malocclusion is important, because it affects quality of life. Medical practitioners have an important role to play for patients with a vast majority of health-related complaints, as they are the primary caregivers. Involvement of medical practitioners in the process of screening, detection and referral of patients with oral health problems including malocclusion will be beneficial for the prevention and management of oral diseases and effective delivery of oral health care. There have been no known studies which have compared the responses of a medical college attached with a dental college with a stand-alone medical college. Hence, it was considered pertinent to conduct this study to assess as to whether there would be any differences in attitudes and awareness of orthodontics between medical students with an attached dental college and students in a stand-alone medical college. MATERIALS AND METHODS This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Mangalore among 132 first year MBBS students at a medical college with a dental college {A} and 127 first year MBBS students in a stand-alone medical college {B}. A pre-piloted, validated, selfadministered questionnaire was distributed among the students. Data collected was entered in Microsoft Excel. The statistical software package SPSS version 16.0 for Windows was employed for data analysis. Pearson's Chi-square test was used and a p-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS There was a difference between male and female students' awareness and their attitudes towards orthodontics. There were significant differences in the attitudes and awareness of the subject of Orthodontics between those students studying in a medical college with an attached dental college when compared with those medical students studying in a stand-alone medical college. CONCLUSION The medical students who studied in an institution with an attached dental college had better awareness of the subject of orthodontics as compared to medical students of a stand-alone medical college. The medical students with and without a dental college had average awareness of orthodontics as a sub-specialty of dentistry. A basic introduction to dental sub-specialties would help them identify dentofacial problems and make appropriate referrals. KEY WORDS Students, Awareness, Orthodontics.

“…Growing evidence has shown that improved dental aesthetics, self-confidence and social interaction are important orthodontic treatment benefit [10][11][12]. In most cases, to improve dental aesthetics is one of the main reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment [13,14]. Thus, dental aesthetics and its psychosocial impact constitute the key dimensions of orthodontic-specific OHRQoL.…”

Background: Based on previous theoretical oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) models and most recently framework, as well as sociocultural model of body image dissatisfaction, the current study aimed to investigate the effect of individual (dental aesthetics and dental appearance social comparison) and sociocultural factors (social reinforcement from parents, peers and mass media on dental aesthetics) as well as their interaction on psychosocial dimension of OHRQoL among adolescent orthodontic patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study comprising 427 adolescent orthodontic patients (151 boys and 276 girls) aged between 11 and 16 years old, the psychosocial dimension of OHRQoL was measured by Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire. Individual predictor of dental aesthetics was defined by the Aesthetic Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need, and dental appearance social comparison was assessed by four items adapted from Physical Appearance Comparison Scale. Sociocultural predictor of social reinforcement was measured by six items adapted from Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale. Spearman correlations, path analyses, and structural equation modeling were used to build up several predictive models. Results: As hypothesized, two direct pathways were observed that patients' dental aesthetics and all three sources of social reinforcement directly predicted the psychosocial dimension of OHRQoL. Meanwhile, we observed one indirect pathway, that three sources of social reinforcement predicted the psychosocial dimension of OHRQoL, in part, through dental appearance social comparison. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence indicating that dental aesthetics, social reinforcement and dental appearance comparison are reliable predictors of psychosocial dimension of OHRQoL among adolescent orthodontic patients.
