In a study carried out by Abdullah et al, 16 it was found that there was a positive response by the subjects for postorthodontic treatment change in their social life and selfconfidence rather than changes in their career options. In the present study, when the mean scores of knowledge and attitude were compared based on the qualification of respondents, a significant difference was found.…”

Materials and methods:A cross-sectional questionnairebased study was conducted among the general population of Aseer, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A validated, self-administered 10-item questionnaire was formulated and sent to the study participants through social media. The responses were entered into Microsoft Excel sheet and statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17.Results: Majority (45.3%) of the respondents disagreed that people wearing orthodontic appliances do not look good, while 36.2% were neutral in answering the same. A bulk of respondents (81.2%) agreed that the orthodontic treatment is expensive, while only 7.4% of the respondents disagreed for the same. Majority (96%) of the respondents agreed that special oral hygiene aids, such as orthodontic brush, interdental brush, and mouthwash are required to be used during orthodontic treatment. Around 73% of the respondents agreed that orthodontic treatment takes a long time, while 20.6% were neutral in responding to the same. Conclusion:It was concluded that although most of the respondents were aware about the features of orthodontic treatment and also had a positive attitude about it, still not all had the same attitude. It is recommended that the orthodontists, general dentists, and public health dentists need to make collaborative efforts to overcome the barriers for uptake of orthodontic treatment by the people.

Introduction: Malocclusion is one of the most common dental problems observed. Limited data is currently available regarding the demographics of malocclusion observed locally. Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study where 770 patients were recruited from May 2009 till December 2014. 560 orthodontic study models that met the inclusion criteria were examined and the malocclusions were classified according to the British Standard Institute (BSI) incisor classification. Demographic pattern and their relationship were analysed by structural equation modelling using SPSS (version 23.0). Results: From 560 study models analysed, 72% were female. The age of the patients ranges from 7-12 years old (17.1%), 13-17 years old (55.9%) and >18 years old (27.0%). Majority of the patients were Malay followed by Chinese (5.7%), Indian (1.8%) and other races (1.8%) Treatments received were fixed appliances (FA) (60.0%), removable appliances (RA) (12.5%), functional appliances (FnA) (1.1%), combination of RA and FA (16.1%), combination of FnA and FA (2.1%) and consultation (8.2%). Types of malocclusions observed were Class I (25.7%), Class II/1(32.7%), Class II/2 (7.5%) and Class III (34.1%). There was significant association (p<0.05) between age and gender towards the types of malocclusions and treatments received were observed. Conclusion: Age and gender play significant role in determining the types of treatment received by patients with malocclusion. Data obtained will be beneficial for departmental future management and clinical planning.

Background:Maxillary expansion uses mechanical forces to open the maxillary suture which causes inflammation and bone remodeling around the area. Stichopus hermanni is known to contain flavonoid, chondroitin sulfate, and saponin which is used to inhibit inflammatory process, increase bone metabolism and mineralization, and wound healing. Purpose: The aim of this experiment is to know the effect of Stichopus hermanni to bigonial width on maxillary suture remodeling expansion using cephalometric analysis. Materials and Methods: Experimental units used were 24 male Cavia cobaya divided into 4 groups (n=6). Group K(-) is negative control. Helical spring was applied and activated in the other 3 groups for 10 days. Group K(+) was given 2% NaCMC gel, both group P1 and P2 was given 3% Stichopus hermanni gel. Group P2 were also given retention period for 10 days after activation period. Cavia cobaya were then decapitated and observed for the bigonial width changes. The data was analyzed with One Way ANOVA test continued with LSD test. Results: The result of ANOVA test showed siginficant differences among the treatment groups p=0,000 (p<0,05). LSD test showed significant differences between group K(-) and K(+) (Sig. 0,005), K(-) and P1 (Sig. 0,001), and group K(-) and P2 (Sig. 0,000). Conclusion: 3% Stichopus hermanni gel increases bigonial width but not significant in remodeling process on maxillary suture expansion. Keywords: Stichopus hermanni, bone remodeling, maxillary suture expansion, bigonial width, cephalometric analysis Correspondence: Noengki Prameswari, Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Hang Tuah University, Arif Rahman Hakim 150, Surabaya, Phone 031-5945864, 5912191, Email: <a href="mailto:noengki.prameswari@hangtuah.ac.id">noengki.prameswari@hangtuah.ac.id</a>
