fa Effect of incisor position on the self-perceived psychosocial impacts of malocclusion among Chinese young adults ارتودنسی Orthodontics پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objective:</strong></p><p>  To evaluate the impact of the incisor position on the self-perceived psychosocial impacts of malocclusion among Chinese young adults. <strong></strong></p><p> <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong></p><p>  This cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of 17.1- to 22.3-year-old young adults (n  =  1005). The five groups represented were normal occlusion as well as incisor Class I, Class II/1, Class II/2, and Class III malocclusion. For clinical assessment, the incisor relationship was evaluated according to the British Standards Institute Incisor Classification, and the self-perception of dental esthetics was assessed using the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). Statistical analysis involved the analysis of variance and Tukey multiple-comparison post hoc tests. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong>:</p><p>  Psychosocial impacts were different among the five groups for the four PIDAQ domains (P < .001 for all four domains). Statistically significant differences were found between the four malocclusion groups and the normal occlusion group in all four domains (P < .001 for all four domains). Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found between four malocclusion groups.</p><p> <strong> Conclusions:</strong> </p><p> All four malocclusion groups had more severe psychosocial impacts than the normal occlusion group in the four PIDAQ domains. Statistically significant differences were also found between the four malocclusion groups these malocclusion groups ranked by score, highest to lowest, were Class III, Class II/1, Class II/2, and Class I. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>The Angel Orthodontists</p><p> <a href="http://www.angle.org/doi/abs/10.2319/062012-508.1" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> Malocclusion, Psychosocial impacts, Incisor position 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1989&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Xia Dahong 10031947532846009338 10031947532846009338 Yes Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Department of Orthodontics, Hospital and School of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China Cheng Xiangrong 10031947532846009339 10031947532846009339 No Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Department of Prosthodontics, Hospital and School of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China Liu Ying 10031947532846009340 10031947532846009340 No Department of Dentistry, Hospital of Wuhan Textile University, Wuhan, Hubei, China Liang Yusong 10031947532846009341 10031947532846009341 No Center of Health and Education of Psychology, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, China Guo Ying 10031947532846009342 10031947532846009342 No Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Department of Preventive Dentistry, Hospital and School of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China Sun Yan 10031947532846009343 10031947532846009343 No Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Hospital and School of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China
