“…Technically, a malocclusion is not a disease, but rather aesthetical and/or functional misalignments between the dental arches or teeth irregularities (beyond what is considered a normal biological variation), as shown in Figure 2. Still, malocclusions can cause susceptibility to trauma and periodontal diseases [2,4,[6][7][8][9]. Standard treatments for dental malocclusions involve removable or fixed orthodontic appliances.…”

The orthodontic supply market is a prosperous billion-dollar industry, driven by an increasing demand for orthodontic appliances. The supremacy of metallic first-generation biomaterials is evident for manufacturing brackets, archwires, bands, and other components due to their well-recognized chemical inertness, spontaneous passivation, biocompatibility, and favorable mechanical properties combination. However, the oral cavity is the ultimate corrosion-promoting environment for any metallic material. In this work, the general picture of the intraoral degradation of fixed orthodontic appliances is first addressed, from the causes to the harmful effects and their oral clinical implications. Current mitigation strategies are also pointed out, including the alloys’ bulk composition adjustment combined with new and advanced manufacturing processes and/or their surface treatment or coating deposition. The versatile use of thin films and coatings stands out with different deposition technologies: Many in vivo and in vitro efforts have been devoted to oral aging, from monolithic to composite architectures and micro- to nano-scale materials, to meet the best and safest oral practice demands. Unfortunately, literature data suggest that even the existing commercially available protective coatings have drawbacks and are fallible. Further multidisciplinary research is still required to effectively mitigate the corrosion behavior of fixed orthodontic appliances.

Introduction. Class III malocclusions are characterized by a more prominent lower jaw compared to the upper jaw and a Class III skeletal and dentoalveolar relationship according to Angle. In the scientific literature, there is a small amount of data on the morphological characteristics of malocclusion in different populations, so there is a justified need to examine the morphological characteristics of Class III malocclusion in the population of Vojvodina. The aim of this study was to determine the morphological characteristics of Class III malocclusions, to compare them with the average values found in the scientific literature, and to determine the correlation between the examined parameters of the upper and lower jaw. Material and Methods. This retrospective study included subjects with Class III dentoalveolar malocclusion treated at the Dentistry Clinic of Vojvodina in Novi Sad. The method of random selection was used to select 50 study models. The data were statistically processed with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results. The obtained results indicate that the sum of crown width of the mandibular incisors, the length of the mandibular dental arch, and the mandibular apical base in subjects with Class III malocclusion are higher than the average values in the general population. The values of the posterior width of the maxillary dental arch in the examined group are lower compared to the average values in the general population. Conclusion. Subjects with Class III malocclusion present with a greater mandibular dental arch in regard to the maxillary dental arch.

Relevance. Purpose of the study to assess the prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment needs among 15-year-old adolescents of the Arkhangelsk region.Materials and methods. This cross-sectional study is a part of the Third National dental examination of children and adolescents of the Russian Federation. The sample consisted of 1091 teenagers from 7 urban and 5 rural settlements. The study assessed the prevalence of malocclusion and calculated the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) to evaluate orthodontic treatment needs according to the sex and place of residence. The prevalence of malocclusion was presented by proportions with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) calculated by the Wilson method. Categorical variables were compared using Pearson’s chi-squared test. The numeric variables were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test. Results. The malocclusion prevalence was 67% (95% CI: 64,2–69,8) without sex or location of residence differences. The mean DAI score was 24,0 (95% CI: 23,2–24,8) for the rural and 22,9 (22,5–23,4) for the urban adolescents (p < 0,001). 33,5 % of the 15-year-olds needed orthodontic treatment, with no differences in sex or place of residence. 18,7% of adolescents exhibited overt malocclusion, 9,7% had severe malocclusion, and 5,0% – very severe.Conclusions. The prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment needs in the Arkhangelsk region remain high. The mean DAI score was higher in rural than in urban adolescents. All the above mentioned indicates the necessity to prevent and timely treat orthodontic pathology in adolescents.
