Quality Of Life In Orthodontics, Claudia Eisenhuth, Gabriel Eisenhuth, Connor Schwartz, Amir Mohajeri, Man Hung, Tiffany Nelson, Ryann Glenn
Annual Research Symposium
Orthodontic treatment goes beyond mere cosmetic enhancement; it significantly impacts various aspects of an individual's quality of life. Beyond the physical benefits of improved oral function and prevention of dental issues, orthodontics also yields profound psychological benefits. Aligned teeth enhance self-confidence, reduce social anxiety, and contribute to better relationships and professional opportunities. Moreover, addressing dental concerns through orthodontic treatment reduces psychological distress and promotes overall happiness and satisfaction. Real-life case studies vividly illustrate the transformative effects of orthodontic interventions, emphasizing the importance of considering quality of life outcomes in dental care.
Evaluation Of Oropharyngeal Airway Changes In Skeletal Class11 Patients Undergoing Twin Block Appliance Therapy, K Saidath
Annual Research Symposium
The study investigated the changes in oropharyngeal airway dimensions in growing patients with retrognthic mandible and skeletal class 11 paterns, treated with twin block appliance.we evaluated skeletal changes post treatment and their relation to airway alterations
An Emg Study To Evaluate Chewing Efficiency And Maximum Voluntary Clenching (Mvc) For Different Malocclusion Groups Before And During Orthodontic Treatment, Vivek Reddy
Annual Research Symposium
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of chewing and maximum voluntary clenching (MVC) of patients with different malocclusion types by measuring the EMG activity in the masseter and temporalis muscles before and during orthodontic treatment.
Comparative Evaluation Of Bone Thickness In Infrazygomatic Crest Region For Optimal Insertion Of Bone Screws : A Cbct Study, Kavya Mp
Annual Research Symposium
Infrazygomatic crest (IZC) is a palpable bony ridge running between the alveolar ridge and the zygomatic process of maxilla. IZC bone dimension is an important factor in the safety and stability of bone screws. IZC thickness depends on the site of insertion, angulation and height from the occlusal plane. This study embarks on a comprehensive Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) exploration, to assess infra zygomatic Crest bone thickness.
Comparative Efficacy Of Forsus Frd And Twin Block Appliance In Class Ii Malocclusion Correction, Priyanka Udeshi
Comparative Efficacy Of Forsus Frd And Twin Block Appliance In Class Ii Malocclusion Correction, Priyanka Udeshi
Annual Research Symposium
The Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FRD) and Twin Block appliances are used to correct Class IImalocclusions. Both appliances work primarily through mandibular repositioning. Despite theirwidespread use, uncertainties remain about their specific mechanisms of correction andcomparative effectiveness. Our study aimed to evaluate and compare the dentoalveolar, skeletal,and soft tissue changes between the Forsus FRD and Twin Block appliance in the treatment of ClassII malocclusions.
Evaluating Pi Angle Efficacy Against Established Cephalometric Angular Parameters, Sumit Bohra
Evaluating Pi Angle Efficacy Against Established Cephalometric Angular Parameters, Sumit Bohra
Annual Research Symposium
Cephalometrics is a cornerstone of orthodontic diagnosis. Numerous angularmeasurements are used to assess the anteroposterior jaw relation include the ANB angle, Betaangle, Yen angle, and W angle. However, these have limitations, leading to the development of thePi angle. Our study aimed to evaluate the predictability of the Pi angle in a South Indian populationand compare it with other established antero-posterior dysplasia indicators such as the ANB angle,W angle, Yen angle, and Beta angle. This comparison is crucial for determining the most accuratemethod for assessing sagittal skeletal discrepancies.
