Article Abstract
Background And Objective: There is currently no representative information for central Germany on the prevalence of dental malalignments and jaw discrepancies in permanent dentition. The aim of this study was to describe the extent of tooth and jaw malformations in a representative adult population according to conventional orthodontic indices.
Subjects And Methods: Three dimensionally (3D)-oriented study casts were measured from a representative sample of adults from the Halle and Leipzig urban areas consisting of 102 men and 143 women aged between 18 and 39 years, yielding a total of 245 volunteers. The index values we determined were the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), the German Orthodontic Indication Groups (OIG) and the Occlusal Index (OI). The descriptive evaluation of the data and group comparisons (U test, chi(2) test) were performed with SPSS® 13.0.
Results: More than half of the adults we examined were assessed as needing treatment according to the IOTN (61.6%), the German OIG (59.6%) and the OI (58.4%; intermediate severity = 5.92). We observed no significant differences in age or gender.
Conclusion: This is the first time that the prevalence of orthodontic findings has been documented for the central German area in a cohort representative of the population. Our results reveal a great need for therapy. As the classifications describe different patient groups, the individual need for treatment is inadequately documented.

Introduction This study evaluated hip joint dynamic instability in patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) with extensive lesions, who had undergone anterior rotational osteotomy (ARO) and high-degree posterior rotational osteotomy (HDPRO), based on the femoral head translation observed by computed tomography (CT) at 0° and 45° hip flexion. Materials and methods Medical records of patients who had undergone transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy for non-traumatic ONFH were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who had undergone CT examinations six weeks post-operatively. In all, 64 hips (60 patients; 19 men and 41 women), comprising 36 hips treated with HDPRO and 28 hips treated with ARO, respectively, were included.

Introduction: In recent years, the use of Clear aligners (CA) has been diffused among children and adolescents. This systematic review aimed to summarize the literature regarding the effects of CA therapy in growing patients, including dentoalveolar and skeletal effects, periodontal changes, and quality of life measurements.
Methods: An electronic search on four databases was performed until September 2023, and studies including patients <18 years, treated with CA were selected.
