. The objective of this retrospective chart review study was twofold. The first was to determine whether there is a correlation between the degree of overjet and the type of anterior traumatic dental injury (ATDI) in the mixed dentition. The second was to assess whether the decision to not treat young patients with prominent upper front teeth for trauma prevention resulted in a greater number of ATDI's in patients of record from a single-center. . The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of patients presenting to the Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) Emergency Department with an ATDI in the mixed dentition between October 2011 and March 2016. . Patients with an overjet less than or equal to 4 millimeters experienced all types of ATDI with greater frequency than those patients with an overjet greater than 4 mm. . Our experience at BCH described in this study has led us to believe that a patient's risk of suffering an ATDI has more to do with the type of activities they participate in rather than the degree of their overjet.

The impact of dentofacial characteristics and malocclusions on dissatisfaction with dentofacial appearance.
Clin Oral Investig
November 2024
Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Baskent University, 1. Cad No: 107, Bahcelievler-Ankara, 06490, Turkey.
Objectives: To assess how, and to what extent, dentofacial features and malocclusions affect the perceived dissatisfaction with the appearance of dentofacial region in different age groups.
Materials And Methods: Dissatisfaction with dental appearance (DDA) and facial appearance (DFA) of 430 patients were assessed using self-reported 5-point Likert scores (1: very satisfied - 5:very dissatisfied). Number of decayed, filled, and missing teeth, oral hygiene status, crowding in the upper/lower arches, molar relationship, overjet, overbite, posterior-crossbite, upper/lower midline deviations, face type, profile, nasal tip and chin deviations were assessed by an experienced orthodontist.

Cephalometric Evaluation of the Pre- and Posttreatment Changes after the Correction of Class II Division 1 Malocclusion with Twin Block Appliance in Mixed Dentition.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
July 2024
Department of Pedodontics, Sree Anjaneya Institute of Dental Science, Kozhikode, Kerala, India.
Aim And Objective: To evaluate the pretreatment cephalometric records on the dental, skeletal, soft tissue, and incisor relationship with a twin block functional appliance in class II malocclusion patients in and around Mahe; evaluate the posttreatment cephalometric records on the dental, skeletal, soft tissue, and incisor relationship with a twin block functional appliance in class II malocclusion patients in these children; and to compare cephalometrically certain dental, skeletal, and soft tissue points in pretreatment and posttreatment cephalograms in them.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 20 class II patients in the mixed dentition period, who were treated with twin block therapy. Each had to meet the following criteria-(1) skeletal class II malocclusion with retrognathic mandible; (2) full cusp class II molar relationship; and (3) an angle of ANB of 50 or greater at the start of treatment.
