Malocclusion may cause several problems in the self-esteem and social satisfaction of children and adolescents. Objectives: We evaluated the association between malocclusion, happiness, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children 11–14 years old referring to the School of Dentistry, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: In the current descriptive-analytical study, to evaluate OHRQoL and happiness, child perception questionnaire (CPQ) and oxford happiness questionnaire were used. To study and classify malocclusion, the dental health component (DHC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) was implemented, by a calibrated dentist. To investigate the relationships, a linear regression model was utilized by means of SPSS-25. Results: All the children referred to the dental school during April–May 2019, of which 143 completed the questionnaires, and 78 (54%) were girls. The participants' mean age was 12.42 (±1.13). A direct relationship was observed between CPQ and malocclusion (P < 0.001), i.e., the more severe the malocclusion, the higher the CPQ score and the lower the child's OHRQoL. Similarly, there was an inverse association between happiness and CPQ (P < 0.001), indicating that an increase in happiness led to a decrease in the score of CPQ, which implied an increase in OHRQoL. The findings of regression analysis showed a relationship between happiness and IOTN, family history of dental irregularity, and psychological problems. Conclusions: Results of the present study revealed an association between happiness and OHRQoL with malocclusion in children. This signifies the malocclusion effect on different aspects of a child's psychological health. Prevention and timely treatment of malocclusion has a remarkable influence on improving the quality of life and happiness in children.","PeriodicalId":31361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Research and Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"103 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47261126","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}

Thus, there is a higher need to practice good oral hygiene among them compared to nondisabled individuals. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the practices regarding oral hygiene among individuals with disabilities attending a special needs institution in Northwestern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey among students with disabilities attending Abdulrasheed Adisa Raji Special School, Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria. IBM SPSS version 23.0 was utilized for analytics. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the sociodemographic characteristics and the practice of oral hygiene of the participants. Bivariate analysis was used to determine oral hygiene practices by disability type. Significance was pegged at P ≤ 0.05. Results: A total of 236 individuals, 167 (70.8%) males and 69 (29.2%) females aged 6–28 years, participated in the study. Less than a quarter (22.5%; n = 53) cleaned their teeth more than once daily with the majority (82.2%; n = 194) using a toothbrush. Only 12.6% (n = 30) used other oral hygiene aids aside from toothbrushes. Sugary snacks were consumed once or more daily by 64.0% (n = 151) of the participants. A bivariate analysis of oral hygiene practice grades by disability types shows that the visually impaired group reported the best hygiene practice score. The overall mean practice score was 4.62 ± 1.69. The result was statistically significant (P = 0.014). Conclusion: Practices regarding oral hygiene were generally fair in this study. However, specific areas with negative or poor practice exist among participants.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of approximal caries in Nigerian adult patients in a teaching hospital. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study on patients that underwent simple teeth extractions following dental caries of the posterior teeth from April 2021 to May 2022. Data collected comprise age of patients, gender, level of education, jaw involved, side of the jaw, teeth involved, and surface of teeth. The diagnoses of approximal caries were made from intraoral plain radiographs. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were performed. All the data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 21. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 146 patients were diagnosed with approximal caries of the 1143 patients that had simple teeth extraction following dental caries given a prevalence of 12.8%. The mean age of the patient was 39.8 ± 16.0 years. There were more 65.8% females. The majority (83.6%) of the patients that had approximal caries had tertiary level of education. More than two-third (83.6%) of the patients had approximal caries in the maxillary jaws. The highest (43.8%) proportion of the second premolars was affected more and this was followed (24.7%) by first premolars and least (6.8%) proportion was on second molars. More than half (64.4%) of the approximal caries were located on the distal surfaces of the posterior teeth.

At the same time, recycling of the exfoliated biological tooth material also is possible through this procedure. The concept of biologic restoration started in the nineteenth century, and in this procedure, the tooth or its fragments can be used as restorative materials for primary as well as a permanent restoration.

Conservative treatment has its limitations, whereas surgical treatment helps to achieve exact fragment positioning and hence mandibular ramus height and better radiologic result concerning resorption and pathologic changes to the condyle. This article describes our approach with modified Risdon incision. Materials and Methods: Patients admitted to our department with condylar fracture over a period of 4 years underwent clinical examination and radiological investigation. Out of the total 25 patients with condylar fractures, there were 20 extracapsular fractures involving the neck and subcondylar regions. The subcondylar fracture patients were treated with extended submandibular approach. Results: Out of twenty patients, two patients had isolated condyle fractures. The bilateral condylar fracture was found in two patients. Thirteen patients had fractures at the lower neck level and the remaining seven patients had a fracture at the subcondylar level. The undisplaced fracture was found in three patients, and a displaced fracture fragment was found in 12 patients, of which 4 patients had a medial override and 8 had a lateral override. The remaining five patients had a deviation of the proximal fracture fragment. Conclusion: Most of the low-neck and subcondylar fractures can be assessed using a posterior extension of submandibular incision and these fractures should be managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) to avoid complications associated with conservative management. ORIF can be managed with the use of proper retraction techniques such as reverse L retractor and the use of traction wire using simple stainless steel wires and appropriate mini-plates.","PeriodicalId":31361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Research and Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"110 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48845192","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}
