“…These data also coincide with the prevalence of the class II/2, which is associated with deep and distal bite. Open bite was registered in a total of 8.92% of children, which is significantly lower compared to other studies where the prevalence of this anomaly was considerably higher (26.7%) [22]. This can be explained with lower incidence of bad habits in the eighth year olds that are the main etiological factor in the onset of open bite.…”

“…Ovi podaci se poklapaju i sa prevalencom II klase, koja je povezana sa dubokim preklopom sekutića i distalnim zagrižajem. Otvoren zagrižaj je registrovan kod ukupno 8,92% dece, što je znatno manje u odnosu na istraživanja drugih autora gde je prevalenca ove anomalije znatno zastupljenija (26,7%) [22]. Ovi rezultati se mogu objasniti manjom učestalošću loših navika kod osmogodišnjaka kao glavnog etiološkog faktora u nastanku otvorenog zagrižaja.…”

Summary Introduction Caries and orthodontic anomalies in school-age children lead to disturbed aesthetics, oral functions (chewing, swallowing, and speech), predisposition to trauma and the onset of periodontal diseases. The aim was to assess dental health and frequency of orthodontic anomalies in children aged 8-9 years in the municipality of Foča. Methods The research was conducted in the primary school Sveti Sava in Foča, where the total of 112 children age 8-9 years were examined. An informed consent was obtained from parents and school director for each student. Dental examination was performed using standard dental method, a mirror and a probe under artificial lighting. Children received instructions on proper nutrition, oral hygiene, tooth protection and elimination of bad habits. Results Among 112 examined boys and girls of selected ages, very high person caries index (PCI) was found (78.57%). A total of 548 caries affected teeth were found (boys 331 (24.62%), girls 217 (16.14%) (p <0.05)). Fifty-nine children had caries lesions on permanent teeth (boys 39 (2.9%), girls 20 (1.5%) (p <0.05)). Sagital abnormalities of the bite were present in 39 (34.82%) children, while 38 (33.92%) anomalies were related to vertical bite irregularities, 10 (8.92%) of them had open bite and 28 subjects (25%) had deep bite (p> 0.05). Conclusion Large number of teeth was affected with caries lesions (548) in eighth-year-olds, while orthodontic anomalies, mostly sagital abnormalities of bite were found in 39 subjects.

“…In a child's life, the period of eruption in permanent teeth must be considered critical. 5,6 Depending on the classification of malocclusion, the symptoms of the disorder may be subtle or severe. Moreover, the treatment of malocclusion places a considerable burden on health care resources nationally and globally, significantly when treatments are funded by public means.…”

In recent years, dental care has received increasing attention from people across the globe. With growing living conditions, people are more aware of preventable conditions that might be avoided. Malocclusion is one among the most studied problems in orthodontics. The statistical predictive model building plays a vital role in dentistry particularly, for clinical decision making. Developing a model for predicting the factors affecting for discontinuation of treatment is a vital step in assessing the therapeutic effect of treatment, resource management and cost reduction in the healthcare industry. Logistic regression and Probit regression models are considered as a successful widely used approach to analyze a classification problem with factor predictor variables. In this study, Naïve Bayes classifier and random forest classification models are introduced to predict discontinuation of orthodontic treatments of dental patients. Based on this study the duration of active treatment was the most significant factor affecting the discontinuation of the treatment. When comparing the four approaches, random forest classifier showed the highest accuracy and specificity, while Naïve Bayes model indicated the highest sensitivity on the prediction of discontinuation of the treatment. Besides, the classification-based approach with modern predictive algorithms shows a robust result for orthodontic data.

“…The prevalence of anterior crossbite ranges from 4.5% to 9.5% based on the respective studied populations [ 2 – 5 ]. In children with malocclusion, it is reported to be around 27% [ 6 ].…”

“…Anterior crossbite may give rise to enamel wear mainly close to the incisal edge due to heavy contact between the opposing tooth/teeth [ 6 ]. An abnormal bite between the opposing teeth can also affect periodontal health, and this could lead to the gingival recession with thinning of the alveolar bone and mobility of the opposing mandibular tooth/teeth [ 6 , 9 , 10 ]. Functional crossbite due to the premature contact could lead to a possible jaw deviation and temporomandibular pain dysfunction [ 6 , 11 ].…”

Anterior crossbite is relatively a common presentation in the mixed dentition stage. If left untreated, it can lead to a host of problems and may complicate future orthodontic treatment. One of the major difficulties in performing anterior crossbite correction in young children is treatment compliance. In most cases, poor compliance is due to the unacceptability of the removable appliance used. This article describes three cases of successful correction of anterior crossbite of patients in mixed dentition using short-span wire-fixed orthodontic appliances. This sectional appliance provides an alternative method of correcting anterior crossbite of dental origin and offers many advantages compared to the use of removable appliances.
