Correlations between cephalometric changes and Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) were tested by Pearson’s correlation. Multiple linear regression was used to determine cephalometric predictors of the overall OQLQ after surgery.\u0000Results: In Class II patients, OQLQ before surgery and changes in SNA were significant predictors for OQLQ after surgery. For Class III patients, OQLQ after surgery was significantly correlated with the change in mandibular plane angle and lower face height (r = 0.6 and r = 0.5 respectively). The decrease in facial angle was negatively correlated with OQLQ (r = -0.4). Mandibular plane angle, mandibular length, and OQLQ before surgery were significant predictors for OQLQ after surgery. \u0000Conclusion: QoL improved for Class II and III after orthognathic surgery. Changes in certain cephalometric measurements seem to predict quality of life after orthognathic surgery.","PeriodicalId":29888,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthodontic Rehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140975602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the correlation between pharyngeal airway space and craniofacial structure, airway width was hypothesized to be an indicator of airway patency in different groups of skeletal malocclusion.\u0000\u0000\u0000Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate age and gender related changes in pharyngeal airway dimensions in different sagittal skeletal relationships\u0000\u0000\u0000Materials and Method: Sixty lateral cephalograms of patients aged 10-30 years with no pharyngeal pathology or nasal obstruction were retrospectively selected and categorized into skeletal Class I (n = 20), Class II (n = 20), and Class III (n = 20) malocclusion based on ANB angle. McNamara's airway analysis was used to quantify upper- and lower-airway dimensions. The analyses of intergroup differences were performed using a one-way ANOVA, an independent t-test, and Tukey's test as a post-hoc test.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results: Participants in the study ranged in age from 20.57 ± 5.41 years (males) and 20.03 ± 4.58 years (females) were included in the study.

The questionnaire included questions about patients’ demographics, perception of dental caries risk and prevention during orthodontic treatment, and oral hygiene information received in orthodontic visits. Frequency distributions of responses were evaluated. Chi-square test was used to assess the differences in patients’ perception of dental caries prevention by demographics, and the oral hygiene information received during orthodontic appointments.\u0000Results: 74.9% of orthodontic patients perceived to be responsible for dental caries during orthodontic treatment, and 30.4% of patients perceived that it is abnormal to develop dental caries during treatment. Patients receiving information about tooth brushing methods and oral hygiene accessories during orthodontic appointments had a better perception of appropriate oral hygiene in preventing dental caries (P= 0.01 and P= 0.04, respectively). Moreover, patients receiving dietary information during orthodontic appointments had a better perception of supporting a good diet and avoiding sweets in preventing dental caries (P< 0.001 and P= 0.02, respectively).\u0000Conclusion: There is a need to improve orthodontic patients’ perception of their risk of dental caries during orthodontic treatment and the manners that would help to avoid new decay lesions.

This systematic review was designed to analyze the available evidence on the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjunct to scaling in reduction of gingival inflammation in periodontally diseased subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Comprehensive search was conducted in electronic databases like PubMed, Scopus and Google scholar along with hand search in relevant journals. Five studies satisfied the criteria and were included in qualitative synthesis of the systematic review. The results of the primary outcome showed adjunctive aPDT did not result in any difference in reduction of gingival inflammation (BOP) compared to scaling alone in fixed orthodontic patients. Only one study showed a significant reduction of gingival inflammation with aPDT, whereas it was better in the scaling group (one study) or no significant difference (3 study) in the other studies. However, aPDT resulted in significant reduction of most of the bacterial species count and proinflammatory cytokine levels in GCF compared to scaling alone. Within the limitations of this systematic review, there is no clear evidence that aPDT adjunctive to scaling has a better effect in reducing gingival inflammation in fixed orthodontic patients.

Among these, 143 were males (36.8%), 246 were females (63.2%). Three orthodontists conducted clinical examinations using standard diagnostic techniques. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was utilized to determine the location of root deviation, whether it was in the apical, middle, or coronal third of the root.\u0000Results: Statistical analyses employed Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The occurrence of root dilacerations in the jaw was highest in the third molars (79.5%), followed by first molars (6.8%), second molars (6.8%), and second premolars (6.8%). Root dilacerations were most prevalent in the lateral incisors (40.2%) within the maxilla, followed by the canine (26.1%) and central incisors (14.1%). Females had a higher prevalence of tooth dilacerations compared to males. The majority of dilacerations occurred at the apical region (66.1%), with the middle region accounting for 30.6% and the coronal region accounting for 3.3%.\u0000Conclusion: Based on these findings, it is advised that orthodontists conduct a thorough examination of dilacerated teeth during orthodontic treatments.
