Perception of adults' smile esthetics among Orthodontists, clinicians and laypeople
Dental press journal of orthodontics, 2015Co-Authors: Enio Ribeiro Cotrim, Átila Valadares Vasconcelos Júnior, Ana Cristina Soares Santos Haddad, Sílvia Augusta Braga ReisAbstract:OBJECTIVE: Smile esthetics has become a major concern among patients and Orthodontists. Therefore, the aim of this study was: (1) To highlight differences in perception of smile esthetics by clinicians, Orthodontists and laypeople; (2) To assess factors such as lip thickness, smile height, color gradation, tooth size and crowding, and which are associated with smile unpleasantness. METHODS: To this end, edited photographs emphasizing the lower third of the face of 41 subjects were assessed by three groups (Orthodontists, laypeople and clinicians) who graded the smiles from 1 to 9, highlighting the markers that evince smile unpleasantness. Kruskall-Wallis test supplemented by Bonferroni test was used to assess differences among groups. Additionally, the prevailing factors in smile unpleasantness were also described. RESULTS: There was no significant difference (P = 0.67) among groups rates. However, the groups highlighted different characteristics associated with smile unpleasantness. Orthodontists emphasized little gingival display, whereas laypeople emphasized disproportionate teeth and clinicians emphasized yellow teeth. CONCLUSION: Orthodontists, laypeople and clinicians similarly assess smile esthetics; however, noticing different characteristics. Thus, the Orthodontist must be careful not to impose his own perception of smile esthetics.

Survey on Retention Protocols Among Turkish Orthodontists.
Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2016Co-Authors: Aylin Pasaoglu, Işıl Aras, Ali Mert, Aynur ArasAbstract:Objective The purpose of this study was to identify general retention protocols practiced by Turkish Orthodontist and to compare the results obtained with those of similar studies in Western countries. Methods The Web-based survey consisted of 29 questions: 3 to identify the demographic characteristics of the participants and 26 to examine how Orthodontists manage the retention phase. Data was interpreted by descriptive statistical methods such as the median test, the Mann-Whitney U-test and logistic regression analysis. Results The survey return rate was 73.8%. Pretreatment malocclusion status (87%), oral hygiene status (78%), and presence of third molars (63%) were reported to be the most important factors in determining the type of retainer. Bonded retainers, either alone (29% in maxilla and 34% in mandible) or supplemented with vacuum-formed retainers (27% in maxilla and 32% in mandible) were the most commonly used type of retainer. The preference for lifelong retention varied from 7% to 19%. Female Orthodontists scheduled the first appointment after debonding sooner than male Orthodontists (p

Tooth whitening in the orthodontic practice: a survey of Orthodontists.
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2013Co-Authors: Maura E. Slack, Edward J. Swift, P. Emile Rossouw, Ceib PhillipsAbstract:Introduction The demand for tooth whitening has grown almost exponentially in the last 20 years, but there are no published reports regarding how bleaching is used in contemporary orthodontic practices in the United States. Methods A weighted sample of American Association of Orthodontists members (3601) was surveyed via electronic and paper questionnaires to quantitatively, by logistic regression, and qualitatively assess Orthodontists' current practices regarding tooth-whitening procedures. Results Of the surveys, 1222 were completed, and 1182 surveys were eligible for analysis. Nationwide, 88.8% of Orthodontists had patients who requested tooth whitening, and 76.2% of Orthodontists had recently recommended whitening procedures for some patients, typically less than 25% of their total patient population. Approximately a third (32.8%) of Orthodontists provided whitening, and nearly two thirds (65.8%) referred whitening procedures to other dental professionals. The geographic region of the country had a statistically significant effect on the proportion of Orthodontists who received whitening requests (P = 0.004), recommended whitening procedures (P Conclusions Almost all Orthodontists encounter patients who request whitening procedures, and most recommend whitening procedures for a small percentage of their patients. The proportion of Orthodontists who refer such procedures to other providers is nearly double the proportion that provides them.

The geographic region of the country had a statistically significant effect on the proportion of Orthodontists who received whitening requests (P = 0.004), recommended whitening procedures (P <0.0006), and provided whitening services in their specialty practices (P <0.0001). Almost all Orthodontists encounter patients who request whitening procedures, and most recommend whitening procedures for a small percentage of their patients. The proportion of Orthodontists who refer such procedures to other providers is nearly double the proportion that provides them. Copyright © 2013 American Association of Orthodontists.
