Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the prevalence and seriousness of dental misalignment (malocclusion) and the need for braces among high school students in Sana'a city.
- A survey of 1,036 students showed that 38.9% required orthodontic treatment, with a significant portion having conditions like increased overjet and various bite issues.
- Findings suggest a need for a more conservative approach to treating malocclusion in Sana'a's high school populations and indicate a gap in existing research on dental care for adolescents in the area.
Background: Early diagnosis and intervention of ectopically erupting first permanent molars (FPMs) are vital to avoiding later complex surgical or/and orthodontic treatment. Selection of proper type of intervention and simple treatment is considered as more convenient to use with children.
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective radiographic cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence and severity of ectopically erupting FPMs in children attending the Dental University Teaching Hospital (DUTH) at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: The primary aim of this in vitro study was to compare the insertion torque (IT) and anchorage force (AF) values of 4 different sizes of orthodontic mini-implants with 2 different angles. The second aim was to evaluate the relationship between IT and AF values under different diameter, length, and insertion angle variables.
Methods: A total of 160 mini-implants, including 20 implants in each group, with 4 different sizes (1.
Aims: To investigate the relationship between tooth loss, age, gender, and its correlation with several local habits that affect oral health, especially the khat, and Shammah use.
Materials And Methods: The current study included 580 participants. They were divided into five age groups15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, and 55-64-years-old.
