“…Patients with malocclusions can develop feelings of low self-esteem, or embarrassment derived from their oral health status, which impact negatively on their general quality of life [ 28 ]. In this way, many patients seek orthodontic treatment in the hope of improving not only oral function but also dental esthetics and smile esthetics [ 29 ], which will in turn boost their self-esteem [ 9 ]. As the present study shows, the use of the OHIP-14, already shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring quality of life [ 10 , 11 ], provides useful information about changes in the different physical, psychological, and social components that constitute oral health-related quality of life.…”

Background and objectives: Although the main objective of any orthodontic treatment is to correct malocclusion, a range of psychosocial and/or esthetic factors drive patients to undergo orthodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to analyze variations in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) levels in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment by means of four types of appliances: fixed buccal metal brackets, fixed buccal esthetic/ceramic brackets, fixed lingual brackets, and clear aligners. Material and Methods: The study sample comprised 120 patients aged 18 to 68 years who attended the Orthodontic department at the Dental Clinic of the University of Valencia. The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) was used to measure orthodontic treatment need. Each patient completed three different intervals of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14): before treatment (T0); six months after placing the orthodontic appliances (T1) and at the end of orthodontic treatment (T2). Results: All groups suffered a reduction in quality of life from T0 to T1 except the metal bracket group which presented the same level for the functional limitation domain (p = 1.000), the lingual bracket group for the psychological discomfort domain (p = 1.000) and clear aligner group for the physical disability domain (p = 0.118) and psychological disability domain (p = 1.000). Nevertheless, quality of life for most domains was similar in all groups at the end of treatment (T2). Conclusions: Patients underwent a significant reduction in quality of life during treatment in comparison with their pre-treatment condition but showed significant improvements at the end of treatment.

“…To the best of our knowledge, there is no intraoral device to provide real-time nicotine or cotinine levels. Such a device should be personalized, obtained through the interdisciplinary relation between the dentist and the technician or the orthodontist (78), and adapted to the anatomical characteristics of the patient's oral cavity. It could be represented by a prosthetic piece, for example, a mouth guard made from a biocompatible material in which a small-dimensioned biosensor can be attached (79).…”

Nicotine has gained the attention of the medical community due to its insidious addictive mechanisms which lead to chronic consumption. The multitude of compounds derived from tobacco smoke have local and systemic negative impacts, resulting in a large number of smoking-related pathologies. The present review offers insights into nicotine addiction physiopathology, as well as social and medical implications, with emphasis on its correlation with Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Therapeutic strategies and new approaches to nicotine assessment and cessation treatment are discussed, noting that such strategies could take into account the possibility of slow and gradual nicotine release from a device attached to a prosthetic piece, based on salivary nicotine-concentration feedback. This approach could offer real-time and home-based self-therapy monitoring by the physician and the patient for follow-up and improve long-term cessation treatment success-Graphical abstract.

“…In recent years, the diffusion of social media activities and web-based technologies has potentiated the information flow shared in several medical contexts and also in dental field education [78]. This form of interaction is useful at many different levels, such as for the education of undergraduate students, to enhance the expertise of younger dentists, in addition to improving the learning processes of experienced clinicians (Figure 4) [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]. Mobile learning occurs when the student is not in a permanent and fixed location or if he is using mobile learning technologies.…”

Over the last decade, medical education changed from traditional teaching methods to telematic and networking scholar and e-learning approach. The objective of the present systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness and teachers/student’s acceptability of e-learning applied to the field of orthodontics and paediatric dentistry. A database search of the literature was conducted on PubMed and Embase databases from January 2005 to May 2021. A total of 172 articles were identified by the electronic search, while a total of 32 papers were selected for qualitative analysis. Overall, 19 articles investigated the effectiveness of e-learning, and no difference of acceptability was reported between e-learning and traditional methods for a wide part of the articles selected. A total of 25 papers provided a satisfaction questionnaire for learners and all were positive in their attitude towards e-learning. The results showed that e-learning is an effective method of instruction, complementing the traditional teaching methods, and learners had a positive attitude and perception. The evidence of the present study reported a high level of acceptability and knowledge level of e-learning techniques, compared to frontal lecture methods, in the fields of orthodontics and paediatric dentistry.
