“…This result may be justified by the fact that crowding is the most prevalent malocclusion and, therefore, the one most associated with malocclusion by laypersons. 19 When the men were asked which of the malocclusions would motivate them to try and convince their companions to initiate treatment, they listed diastema and little tooth exposure. The gingival smile had no impact.…”

; Rogé rio Lacerda dos Santos d ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the extent to which different types of malocclusion influence the development of affective/romantic relationships among young adults of both sexes. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 360 men and women ranging in age from 18 years to 25 years. Criteria for exclusion from the sample were the following: participants could not be married, visually impaired, or students of a higher education course in the area of health. In this study, images of young adult men and women in the same age range as that of the evaluators were used. These images were manipulated to create different types of malocclusion: diastema, open bite, crowding, gingival (or gummy) smile, little exposure of teeth. Six groups of images containing six images each were formed and consisted of two experimental images (digitally manipulated) and four control images. These images were provided to the participants, who evaluated them by means of a questionnaire and a visual analog scale. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, chi-square, and Fisher exact tests were used for data analysis. Results: All malocclusions had a negative impact on acceptance by the evaluators for the purposes of affective/romantic relationships, with crowding being the type of malocclusion that led to the highest level of rejection (P , .01). Conclusion: Malocclusions have a negative influence on the development of affective/romantic relationships among young adults. Individuals with good occlusion are seen in a more positive light, from the perspective of affective life. (Angle Orthod. 2016;86:638-643.)

“…This type of malocclusion, especially when upper incisors are protruded, is likely to produce several consequences. Among these complications, for instance, there are significant esthetic [5] and social [6] impact on children, as well as on their dental health [7]; or it might even predispose them to upper front teeth trauma [8,9], or to upper airway complications, in severe cases [10].…”

To evaluate the asperity of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need among young Saudi obtain free treatment at government dental practices. Background: In the present hypothesis, the perceptive need as evaluated by patients and the actual need to orthodontic treatment, as assessed by orthodontists, were evaluated at deferent types of government dental practices in the city of Makkah using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Methods: A consecutive sample of 400 adults seeking orthodontic treatment at two different types of government dental practices in Makkah, (Free treatment), was examined for orthodontic treatment need using of the IOTN. The self-perceived need for orthodontic treatment was also determined using the aesthetic component (AC) of the IOTN. The IOTN score and the incidence of each variable were calculated statistically. Results: Supplanting, increased overjet, and Class II and III malocclusion were the virtually common orthodontic issues in this hypothesis. High percent of orthodontically treated patients at Makkah clinics were in great need of treatment (P=0.003). Conclusion: Patient's perception to orthodontic treatment does not always correlate with professional assessment. The IOTN is a valid screening tool that should be used in orthodontic clinics for better services especially, in health centers that provide free treatment.
