Introduction: : Orthodontics is a specialty and technological innovation, which has a large role in determining its practice. Orthodontists have shown enthusiasm and willingness to incorporate developing technologies into their clinical practices despite limited independent scientific evidence. Objectives: To evaluate the attitudes and awareness among orthodontists toward advancement of Orthodontic procedures in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a cross sectional and descriptive questionnaire based study. A questionnaire composed of 30-items, containing multiple choices and check box was e-mailed to the seventy orthodontists practicing and licensed from different regions of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An orthodontist that did not respond subsequently contacted at least 3 times by email living in the different provinces of Saudi Arabia. The questionnaires were divided into segments: demographics, choosing orthodontic procedures and advances of their orthodontic practice. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21, Chicago, Illinois. Basic statistics and comparative analyses with chi-square were undertaken. Result: A total of 63 orthodontists (50 males and 13female) completed the survey correctly and among them 35% were Saudi and 65% Non-Saudi. Response rate was 90%. Maximum numbers of orthodontist (35%) were from age group of 31-40years and least (8%) from 25-30 years (Table 1). Eighty-nine percent orthodontists were qualified as doctorate and master and mostly working as specialist and get qualification from Arab countries. Most of the orthodontists were using digital imaging 85%, 2-phase treatment 87% and functional appliance 92% Fig 1.Maximum number of orthodontists having PhD and Master degree using digital imaging and functional appliances where as others was using maximum self-ligating and invisalgin.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the future practice plans of the Orthodontic residents in India. Materials and methods:Questionnaire totaling 37 items was drafted and posted along self-addressed (return) envelopes to the respective Head of Orthodontic departments of 120 dental schools. This survey was also carried out at the postgraduate student convention at Manali in 2011. A total of 1200 questionnaire forms were circulated and 781 forms were received back. Survey was started in February 2011 and completed in August 2011. Basic statistic including Chi-square test was performed for the comparative analysis based on sex and region.Results: 100% of the respondants were satisfied with the choice of the subject while 44% opted for the prosthodontia as their second choice if given chance. 72% residents were satisfied with 3 years duration of the course. 77% of them were planning to take IBO certification while 80% residents were against making it against compulsory. 57% residents said they will be looking for a job while 30% wanted to start practice right after their postgraduate course completion. Self-ligating brackets are expected to gain ground with 71% residents expecting to use them and 55% were for the use of Invasilign. 89% were going to use fixed functional appliance. 90% residents plan to use TAD in their practice and fixed retainer was clear favorite (53%). The choices were uniform among the male and female respondants and also no clear regional significant differences were evident between the various regions. Conclusion:Indian Orthodontic programs would not find a shortage of full-time academicians in the future. Residents favor 35-to 36-month programs with a research-based component. Newer techniques, e.g. Digital Imaging, TAD, SLB are here to stay.
