“…Females scored higher means in four out of seven domains (domain 4, psychological discomfort; domain 4, physical disability; domain 5, psychological disability; domain 6, social disability; domain 7, handicap) along with the total score. Generally, the younger age group (12-19 years) scored higher means than did the older age group (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) in five out of seven (domain 3, psychological discomfort; domain 4, physical disability; domain 5, psychological disability; domain 6, social disability; domain 7 handicap) as well as the total score. Table 3 shows the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients between the DAI and OHIP-14 scores, which showed significant but almost no correlation (r 5 .176) between the two instruments at all grades of the DAI summative score.…”

Objective: To assess the impact of malocclusion on the quality of life. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 150 subjects attending the Primary Care Unit with no history of orthodontic treatment. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) with 10 occlusal characteristics were measured on study models. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was assessed with the Malaysian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire (OHIP-14). The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between the malocclusion and quality of life. Results: Significantly weak correlations (r 5 .176) were found between the DAI and the OHRQoL. Females and the younger age group (12-19 years) tended to score higher on the OHIP-14 than their counterparts. For males, domain 3 (psychological discomfort; r 5 .462), domain 4 (physical disability; r 5 .312), domain 7 (handicap; r 5 .309), and overall score (r 5 .289) were weak correlates but significant to the DAI compared with females. The older age group showed a significant weak correlation in domain 3 (psychological discomfort; r 5 .268) and domain 7 (handicap; r 5 .238), whereas the younger age group showed no correlation with any domain. Conclusions: The DAI score does not predict the effect of malocclusion on the OHRQoL. (Angle Orthod. 2016;86:337-342.)

“…3 Many studies have reported that malocclusion has a negative impact on adolescents' OHRQoL. 4,5 For esthetic reasons, malocclusion can play an important role in adolescents' psychological well-being and in their social acceptance and interaction. 6 In more severe cases, it can also result in functional limitations for the affected persons.…”

Objective: To assess the agreement between adolescents and their parents/caregivers regarding the impact of malocclusion on adolescents' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Materials and Methods: A consecutive sample of 141 adolescent and parent/caregiver pairs was selected. Adolescents answered the short version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire , while parents answered the Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ). The CPQ 11-14 and the P-CPQ have 14 items in common that are organized through four subscales: oral symptoms (OS), functional limitations (FL), emotional well-being (EW), and social well-being (SW). Agreement on the overall score and agreement on the subscales were determined using comparison and correlation analysis. The comparison analysis was carried out by comparing the mean directional and absolute differences, and the correlation analysis was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: A total of 135 pairs of adolescents and parents/caregivers agreed to answer the questionnaires, providing a response rate of 95.7%. The mean age of the adolescents was 11.50 years. The mean directional difference was significant for the OS (P , .001) and FL (P 5 .040) subscales as well as for the overall score (P 5 .007). Adolescents' reports were higher than parents/caregivers' reports. The mean absolute difference for the overall score was 7.26, representing 12.9% of the maximum possible overall score. The ICC was 0.16 for the overall score, indicating poor agreement. Conclusion: Poor agreement was observed between adolescents and their parents/caregivers in rating the impact of malocclusion on adolescents' OHRQoL. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:806-811.)

“…Prior to orthodontic malocclusion treatment, it is important to consider patient's point of view and to appropriately set treatment priorities (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). In determining treatment needs, the existing orthodontic indices emphasize the importance of the aesthetic component of malocclusions and the need to consider the psychosocial impact on patients' well-being (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

SUMMARYAim: The aim of this study was to assess the orthodontic treatment needs of adolescents in Zagreb, Croatia, in relation to their orthodontic treatment history, caries experience and socio-demographic parameters.Methods: The study sample comprised 1,289 adolescents from 12 randomly selected public schools in Zagreb, Croatia. The subjects were 15-18 years old (mean age 16.3 ± 1.4), and 51% of them were girls. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI), the sum of the numbers of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT index), and a questionnaire (covering socio-demographic issues, oral health-related attitudes and behaviours) were employed in this study. The data was analyzed by means of Chi-square test, analysis of variance, and multiple logistic regression models.Results: The DMFT score was higher in adolescents with no orthodontic history (5.2 ± 3.7) than in those who were under orthodontic treatment at the time of the research (4.5 ± 3.2; p = 0.043). More than 60% of the adolescents have never undergone any orthodontic treatment, around 24% previously undergone treatment and 15% were under treatment at the time of the research. Overall, 85% of the adolescents' orthodontic appliances were removable, and the girls were more often under orthodontic treatment. One fifth of the studied population had severe or very severe malocclusion. Adolescents with previous orthodontic treatment were more often interested in better teeth alignment, changes in their teeth positioning and continuing orthodontic treatment. Multiple logistic regression model demonstrated that previously treated adolescents, in comparison with their untreated peers, were on average older (p = 0.002), were less satisfied with the appearance of their teeth (p = 0.001), they had higher malocclusion severity (p = 0.046), and fewer dental caries (p < 0.001), changed toothbrushes more often (p = 0.012), and their mothers attained higher education (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Although many adolescents received orthodontic treatment, the severity of their malocclusion was still somewhat high, and they were more often dissatisfied with their treatment outcome. Mothers' educational level was found to be the most important socio-demographic predictor for children's involvement in orthodontic treatment. The caries experience increased in comparison with the Croatian national survey data from 1999.
