“…46 The view of young people that others perceive them differently due to the appearance of their teeth has, to a certain extent, been confirmed by the work of Shaw. Using a technique of altering the arrangements of the teeth on standardised photographs of young people smiling, Shaw and colleagues showed that the appearance of teeth could influence the social judgements made by their peers about the person in the photograph 47,48 ; however dental appearance did not affect the judgements made by teachers. 49 The influence of dental appearance could, however, be surpassed by the overall attractiveness of the face.…”

“…49 The influence of dental appearance could, however, be surpassed by the overall attractiveness of the face. 47,48,50 Teasing or bullying of young people due to the appearance of their teeth has been reported frequently in the literature, from many different societies and cultures. [51][52][53][54][55][56][57] Victims are particularly concerned when they are teased about the appearance of their teeth 51 and orthodontic treatment can help to alleviate this.…”

What is the value of orthodontic treatment?

SummaryOrthodontic treatment is as popular as ever. Orthodontists frequently have long lists of people wanting treatment and the cost to the NHS in England was £261m in 2013-14 (approximately 11% of the NHS annual spend on dentistry). It is important that clinicians and healthcare commissioners constantly question the contribution of interventions towards improving the health of the population. In this article the authors outline some of the evidence for and against the claims that people with a malocclusion are at a disadvantage compared with those without a malocclusion and that orthodontic treatment has significant health benefits. The authors would like to point out that this is not a comprehensive and systematic review of the entire scientific literature. Rather the evidence is presented in order to stimulate discussion and debate.

-Background/Aim: This investigation assessed the effects of dental trauma on the perception of pain and quality of life (QoL) of patient-parent pairs for a year following severe injuries. Sample: A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain of injury and treatment for 27 individuals 8-20 years and their parents. The Child Oral Health Quality of Life (COHQoL) survey was used to assess the effects of dental injuries on the QoL of 23 children aged 8-14 and their parents. Results: Mean VAS scores revealed that all patients and parents perceived the pain of initial injury to be significantly greater than pain of splint removal (P £ 0.05) and that pain decreased in a stepwise manner from injury through emergency treatment to splint removal. The COHQoL questionnaire demonstrated a profound and continuing effect on children and their parent's QoL following severe dental injury. The initial parental COHQoL score was significantly greater than the 12-month score (P £ 0.05) in both 8-10 and 11-14-year-olds. The COHQoL results indicated a measurable reduction in the QoL of patients and parents was still present 12-months after the injuries. At the end of one-year children were still affected by the social and well-being aspects of the injury yet parents exclusively reported that one-year effects were limited to their children's oral symptoms and functional limitations. Conclusions: Severe dental injuries produce initial and ongoing pain. Detrimental effects on the QoL of both children and parents are still present at one-year and these long-term effects are different for children and parents.

Management of Multiple Traumatic Injuries in a Single Patient - A Case Report

This case report presents a case of avulsion, intrusion and fracture injuries of multiple anterior teeth in a 12 year old girl. The teeth were endodontically treated and orthodontically repositioned and successfully replaced with prosthesis. The case was monitored for 4 years. Considering the severity of the injury, prognosis and clinical approaches of treatment, we planned a multi-disciplinary approach which is important to achieve successful results. In this case, root canal treatment was done for pulpally severe teeth and a 2×4 appliance was used for orthodontic correction. The follow-up of such cases is very important as the repair process after intrusion is complex. After 4 years, no clinical or radiographic pathology was detected.
