“…Orthodontic treatment for functional rehabilitation and facial esthetic is often necessary due to the high prevalence of malocclusion. 22 , 23 However, patients undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy experience ecological changes, which can decrease the oral health conditions. 4 , 18 Brackets create many areas that harbor dental biofilms and make much harder to clean teeth adequately.…”

ObjectivesThe objectives of this study were to assess the adherence of Streptococcus mutans biofilms grown over conventional ligature (CL) or self-ligating (SL) metal brackets and their bacterial viability after 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) digluconate treatment.Materials and methodsThe sample consisted of 48 metallic orthodontic brackets divided randomly into two groups: CL (n=24) and SL brackets (n=24). S. mutans biofilms were grown over the bracket surface (96 h) and treated with CHX (positive control) or 0.9% phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (negative control) for 1 min each. Quantitative analysis was assessed by colony-forming units, and fluorescence microscopy was performed aiming to illustrate the outcomes. The tests were done in triplicate at three different times (n=9). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey test (P<0.05).ResultsThere were significant differences in brackets’ biofilm formation, being CL largely colonized compared with SL, which was observed by colony-forming unit counting (P<0.05) and microcopy images. Significant reduction in the viability of S. mutans was found in both brackets treated with CHX compared to PBS (P<0.05).ConclusionThe antimicrobial activities of CHX were similar for CL and SL brackets (P>0.05). In conclusion, a lower colonization was achieved in SL brackets and S. mutans biofilms were susceptible to CHX treatment to both studied brackets.

“…In some clinical cases, white spot lesions are considered as undesired side effects of orthodontic treatment. Considering that part of the population is undergoing orthodontic treatment, 23 , 24 efforts for clinical excellence and prevention should be kept in mind when this kind of treatment is needed. 13 …”

“…The distribution of class III was approximately the same (6.3%) in all continents except Africa, which was (4.7%). 44 Class I malocclusion prevalence was approximately identical to that of Serbia (43.3%) 45 and Albania 40.4%. 46 Bilgic et al recorded a 34.9% prevalence in Turkey, 5 which was lower than the current study.…”

Malocclusion: Prevalence and Determinants among Adolescents of Karachi, Pakistan

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malocclusion and its associated demographic and clinical factors in young adolescents (13–15 years) of Karachi, Pakistan. Materials and Methods An epidemiological survey included 500 young adolescents of registered schools, madrassas (Islamic education system), and shop workers of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town. It was a cross-sectional analytical study design. Multistage random sampling technique was used to enroll participants. The pattern of occlusion was recorded with other related features using Angle's classification. Health status was recorded through World Health Organization-guided indices (decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth [DMFT], community periodontal index of treatment needs [CPITN], and body mass index [BMI]). The information, thus, obtained was analyzed through SPSS using the chi-squared test and regression models. Results Forty four percent of the participants were female, while overall estimated prevalence of malocclusion in young adolescents of Karachi was 57.4%. After adjustments, participants going to any kind of education system had less malocclusion in comparison to those who were not going to any education system (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.305, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.12–0.73); mother's education especially higher level (aOR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.08–3.75) and presence of periodontal disease (aOR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.06–2.33) were significantly associated with malocclusion. Conclusion This study showed that the class I malocclusion is prevalent in the local community. Demographic factors like gender, age, self-reported ethnicity, and BMI did not show any significant role. Education or knowledge of parents and young adolescents does play an influential role in decreasing malocclusion. Young adolescents, who are more prone to oral health problems at an early age, would have more chances to develop occlusal discrepancies.

“…However, when the maxilla and mandible grow disproportionately, it results in a largerthan-normal skeletal pattern discrepancy (2). On the other hand, dental malocclusion depends on the relationship between the teeth in the maxilla and mandible, which can happen due to many local factors (3).…”

Prevalence studies of malocclusion should distinguish how skeletal classification was done because of the moderate correlation that exists between dental arches and skeletal patterns. The validity of using the ANB angle as a diagnostic tool to determine skeletal patterns remains questionable. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of skeletal patterns in the Malay population, their association with gender and age groups, and whether the ANB angle is a highly correlated variable in diagnosing skeletal patterns radiographically by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Two thousand one hundred eighty-two lateral cephalograms of Malay patients were digitally traced. Respective skeletal patterns were determined using the ANB angles. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the prevalence, whereas the association with gender and age groups were determined using the Chi-Squared and Fisher's Exact tests. PCA was done on all commonly used cephalometric variables in Class III samples. The prevalence for the Class I, Class II and Class III skeletal patterns were 41.3%, 46.1%, and 12.6%, respectively. A significant association was found between gender and skeletal patterns (p = 0.012). Most of the significant variables in principal component (PC) 1 were vertical measurements. ANB angle was not captured in the first five PCs. Class III skeletal pattern was significantly less prevalent in the Malay population when compared to other skeletal patterns, especially in males. Vertical, sagittal cephalometric measurements and incisor angulation variables were more highly correlated than the ANB angle and, therefore, may be more useful to diagnose the Class III skeletal pattern.
