A numeric approach was adopted. Finite element method was used to determine the stress and displacement of various components at a given time by dividing it into two groups namely, Implant arrangement and T- loop arrangement for enmasse retraction. Significant differences were observed when the stress values were compared between Implant arrangement and T-loop arrangement. In Implant arrangement highest stress values were seen around the lateral incisors and in T loop arrangement stresses were found around canine and premolar. Comparison of displacement in both arrangements gave results of greater displacement in anterior and posterior segments in T-loop arrangement. Mini implants were considered more effective for enmasse retraction but in this study, it was found that although the rate of retraction/ displacement was more in T-loop arrangement but Mini implants in implant arrangement served as an absolute anchorage.","PeriodicalId":497876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Orthodontics","volume":"125 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977509","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}

We sought to determine the self-assessment of dental aesthetics and perceived treatment need among a group of health professions trainees and compare the same with the researcher’s report using the Aesthetic component (AC) of Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). This was a cross-sectional study of undergraduates in our College of Health Sciences. The researcher was calibrated. Subjects supplied their socio-demographic details, responses on perception of their teeth, and smile on a self-administered questionnaire. Additionally, respondents selected and documented a picture that best matches theirs from the AC of the IOTN chart, while the researcher did the same and compared the scores. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 16.0.: 121 students were studied. 59% were previous dental clinic attendees. The majority (80.2%) usually females rated their smile pleasant. 69.4% expressed satisfaction with the appearance of their teeth. Male and female subjects differed significantly in the ratings of their smile and teeth; with significantly more females rating themselves better than average. Subjects’ scores differ significantly from the researcher’s; most subjects rated their occlusion better especially females (p<0.001), physiotherapy students(p=0.0016), and previous clinic attendees(p=0.02).

Grey literature search and hand search were also performed. An online survey was conducted among orthodontists to identify the most commonly used cephalometric parameters.137 studies were included from a total of 9693 records.
