Methods The English version of MIQ was translated into Malayalam through a rigorous translation process, followed by cross-cultural adaptation. Young people aged below 18 years who were just about to start orthodontic treatment were invited to complete the Malayalam version of MIQ along with the available native version of the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). The MIQ-Malayalam was readministered after 14 days to assess test-retest reliability. Treatment need was assessed normatively using the Dental Health Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN-DHC) and subjectively using Aesthetic Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN-AC). Results A total of 210 subjects completed the questionnaires (males = 47.2%; females = 52.8%; age = 12-17 years, mean = 15 years and 3 months; standard deviation = 1.9) and 50 completed repeat questionnaires. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.952; Intra-class Correlation Coefficient = 0.93). Exploratory factor analysis derived 4 factors with exclusion of 1 item. There were significant differences (P < .05) in MIQ scores between IOTN-DHC subgroups, ensuring discriminant validity. There was a high correlation between total MIQ and total PIDAQ scores (rho = 0.884), while low between total MIQ and IOTN-AC scores (rho = 0.203). Conclusion The Malayalam version of MIQ was found to be valid and reliable and can serve as a useful condition-specific measure of oral health-related quality of life.","PeriodicalId":31847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Orthodontic Society","volume":"57 1","pages":"84 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48984738","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}

Mini implant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has proven to reduce the undesirable effects seen in tooth supported expanders and allows expansion even in adults. A variety of designs have been suggested with their pros and cons. Biomechanically, it is important that the TADs attachment of the expansion appliance should be as close to the palatal vault as possible. This prevents bending of TADs and allows for a better split by keeping forces closer to the bone. According to the T zone concept given by Benedict Wilmes, the bone in the canine-premolar region is much superior for TAD insertion and stability as compared to the bone in the molar region. Considering all the above features a new MARPE appliance was designed which is versatile, anatomically compatible and easy to use. FAVEX is a treatment-centric appliance so that the treatment need not be appliance centric.","PeriodicalId":31847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Orthodontic Society","volume":"57 1","pages":"116 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41314730","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}

Materials and Methods A new YouTube account was created, this was followed by a determination of the most commonly used keywords regarding DIY aligners by using “Google Trends.” The keywords were used to search the YouTube website. A total of 112 videos were assessed for various parameters, such as completeness of the content, reliability using a modified version of the DISCERN tool, and quality using a Global Quality Score (GQS). Out of 112 videos, 26 were rejected based on their relevance, duplication, videos without audio, and video language. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to study the relationship between the variables, authorship, popularity, and recommendations. Results The majority of the videos were uploaded by the laypeople (43%), followed by DIY aligner companies (38%), and dentists and orthodontists (16%). The content for most of the videos was poor (82%), with DISCERN reliability score of zero (65%), and GQS of 1 and 2 (poor to generally poor quality). The view of uploaded videos, view rate, and likes was in proportion to the quality of the videos, their popularity, and reliability. Further authors with a financial interest and poor quality, content, and less reliability of the videos usually recommended the DIY aligners. The reduced cost was one of the important factors for the customers to consider DIY aligner treatment. Conclusion YouTube videos on DIY aligners should not be considered a reliable source for the public in general who are looking for orthodontic treatment for correction of their dentofacial irregularities. The dental professional bodies and orthodontists should use social media platforms (YouTube) to increase awareness about the DIY aligners among the public.","PeriodicalId":31847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Orthodontic Society","volume":"57 1","pages":"171 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48008299","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}

The study aims to assess and correlate the pattern of fingerprints, lip prints, and palatal rugae in individuals with malocclusions related to skeletal discrepancy. Materials and Methods The 180 samples collected in the study were divided into 3 groups based on cephalometric analysis into class I, II, and III malocclusion. The fingerprints, lip prints, and palatal rugae patterns were obtained for each participant and pattern analysis was done. Results Class I malocclusion with no skeletal discrepancy showed a statistically significant difference in the loop fingerprint patterns on all fingers except the first finger on the right and left hand, branched lip pattern, and straight palatal rugae pattern in primary rugae 1 and 4. Class II malocclusion related to skeletal discrepancy showed a statistically significant difference in the loop pattern on all fingers except in the fourth finger of the right hand which showed a whorl pattern, branched lip pattern, and straight palatal rugae pattern in primary rugae 1, 4, and 5. Class III malocclusion related to skeletal discrepancy showed a statistically significant difference in the loop pattern on all fingers except in the fourth finger of the right hand which showed an absence of arch pattern, vertical lip print pattern, and straight palatal rugae pattern in primary rugae 1. Conclusion Dermatoglyphics analysis can be used to indicate developing malocclusions related to skeletal discrepancies. at an early age, thereby aiding the development of treatment aiming to establish favorable occlusion. Prospective and various ethnic and racial-based studies would be valuable for the establishment of dermatoglyphic markers of malocclusion.","PeriodicalId":31847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indian Orthodontic Society","volume":"57 1","pages":"156 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44567836","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}
