Impact of Protracted War Crisis on Dental Students: A Comparative Multicountry Cross-sectional Study.

Background: The impact of conflict and war crisis on dental students is poorly understood. Given the prolonged conflicts and political instability in the Arabic-speaking countries, it is crucial to investigate the effect of these conditions on dental students. This study aimed to assess the impact of protracted war on dental students by comparing the personal, university, and wider context challenges they face across war-affected and unaffected countries.

Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of "Malocclusion Impact Questionnaire" into Moroccan Arabic.

Introduction: The malocclusion index questionnaire (MIQ) is widely used in research and clinical practice. To our knowledge, there are no studies of its use in Moroccan patients.

Aim: The objective of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the malocclusion impact questionnaire (MIQ) into Moroccan Arabic and to assess its reliability and validity among a sample of young Moroccan teenagers.

A new methodology for automatic detection of reference points in 3D cephalometry: A pilot study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a new method for an automatic detection of reference points in 3D cephalometry to overcome the limits of 2D cephalometric analyses.

Materials And Methods: A specific application was designed using the C++ language for automatic and manual identification of 21 (reference) points on the craniofacial structures. Our algorithm is based on the implementation of an anatomical and geometrical network adapted to the craniofacial structure.

Evaluation of arch forms depending on the angle classification.

Unlabelled: It is generally accepted that each individual has his or her own dental arch form. However, during orthodontic treatment, industrially preshaped archwires are widely used. The resulting use of the same arch form for all malocclusions may compromise occlusal stability after orthodontic treatment.
