This paper presents the causative factor for seeking orthodontic treatment in the patients who are visiting Punjab Dental Hospital of a populous city Lahore (de' Montmorency College of Dentistry) in local settings and associating these reasons with demographic characteristics. Objective: Aim of this cross-sectional survey was to explore the reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment among individuals who are visiting PDH. Materials and methods: This study was carried out in Punjab Dental Hospital (PDH) after the approval of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) on a sample of 98 individuals having malocclusion assessed with Angle's classification of the malocclusion. We chose simple random sampling. A self-structure questionnaire was designed to get data by the principal investigator after taking verbal and written consent. Descriptive statistics were calculated using SPSS 21. Chi-square test of association was applied to associate reasons with different demographic variables. P-value <0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Female respondents were more in number than males. Around one-third of respondents (30.6 %) had a monthly income of less than 25000 PKR ($ 170). Esthetics was the primary reason for seeking orthodontic treatment. The most common type of malocclusion was the Class II malocclusion. Statistically significant factors that emerged in this study that turned into reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment were hurdles in marriage, referral by a general dentist, motivation by parents, self-esteem and speech problems. Conclusion: In conclusion, patients seek orthodontic treatment mainly to enhance facial esthetics and self-confidence, motivation by the parents, and social acceptability. 35 South Eur J Orthod Dentofac Res Rasul F. et al.

The most common one is micrognathia; this can pose and neonatal emergency. Early recognition of mandibular and other face anomalies could provide immediate care for these infants, and presence of neonatologist or other doctors in the delivery room. The aim: Aim of this study was to develop normal ranges of the facial markers: mandibular length, jaw index and the facial angle in the fetus using 3D ultrasound. Material and methods: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study in the second trimester of pregnancy. Fetuses (female n=23 and male n=27) from singleton pregnancy between 29-37 week of gestation were examined by ultrasound. All images were acquired transabdominally, using Voluson E16. Ultrasound was performed by an experienced operator (SM) and measured the values of head circumference, abdominal circumference, biparietal diameter, femur length, body mass. For mandibular length, inferior facial angle, and the jaw index was calculated (Jaw Index =AP mandibular diameter / BPD * 100), the profile images were used (only images in the exact midsagittal plane were used). The characteristics of the fetal profiles were determined by the Schwartz and Ricketts profile analysis using soft tissue landmarks and analysis of the profile photographs. Results: The results show that the jaw index ranged from 25.33 and 34.06 with an average of 26.00 for all examined fetuses. Conclusion: The physiological position of the mandible is retrognathic and that the average physiological length of the mandible in the third trimester is 2.31cm. There is no difference in mandibular length between genders.

Fetuses with mandible anomalies are at risk of airway obstruction through retro-positioning of the tongue-base into posterior pharyngeal airway.2 Micrognathia is frequently seen in Pierre Robin sequence, however it can be found in many genetic syndromes.3 Antenatal diagnosis of anomalies by ultrasound is widely used nowadays.

Various methods are now employed to reduce the incidences of demineralization. Aim: To evaluate and compare the effects of Fluoride toothpaste, Probiotic curd, and Recaldent on Streptococcus mutans colonies in plaque around orthodontic brackets in different groups of patients. Further, the three agents were compared and assessed for regular use by orthodontic patients for reduction of decalcification. Materials and methods: This study consisted of 60 randomly selected patients having orthodontic treatment in the Department of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics. The study protocol was approved by the institutional Ethics committee of MCE Society, Azam Campus, Pune. Group A: The patients were given fluoride containing toothpaste (ParodontaxTM Daily Fluoride toothpaste GlaxoSmithKline). Group B: The patients were asked to brush twice daily with recaldent containing tooth mousse (Dentsply Tooth MousseGC). Group C: Patients were given probiotic curd(Nestle Acti Plus). Samples were collected twice, once initially, seven days after bonding at the start of the study and secondly, after 30 days. After DNA extraction PCR analysis was done to evaluate the colonies of S. mutans as colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/ml) in the plaque specimens. RealPlex software programme was used to plot the results of the colonies detected in the sample. Results: Streptococcus mutans colonies around the brackets after 30 days post use of Fluoride toothpaste, probiotic curd and Recaldent was reduced by 44.5 %, 0.86 % and 41.8% respectively. Conclusion: The regular use of fluoride toothpaste and Recaldent will help in reducing decalcification during orthodontic treatment. Further research is needed to establish the advantages of probiotic curd in reducing white spot lesions.

The research goal was to analyze the dietary habits of 12-year-old children in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina. Another goal was to investigate the differences in food cariogenicity of children living under different socioeconomic conditions and to determine their relationship with the oral health. Materials and methods: The sample included 109 children, classified in groups of high, average and low socioeconomic status. Based on the survey and examination, data on nutrition and caries experience (DMFT index) were obtained. Results: There was a difference in dietary habits between children living under different conditions. Children of high socioeconomic status (SES) had a more favorable number of daily meals comparing to children of low socioeconomic status. The average DMFT index, as a measure of caries experience of 12-year-old children amounted 4.8(±3.2). Children of high socioeconomic status had significantly lower caries experience than those from average and low statuses (high SES DMFT 3,60±2,84SD vs. middle SES DMFT 5,28±3,83SD and low SES DMFT 5,47±2,53SD; p<0.05).
