ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expectation values of dental esthetics during the orthodontic treatment in adolescents with malocclusion.Methods 14~18 year-old adolescents with malocclusion were randomly divided into the treatment group (30 cases) and the control group (21 group) for a prospective study with a period of 1.5 years (0,0.5,1.0,1.5 year respectively),esthetics components of index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN-AC) and self-made sheet for expectation values of dental esthetics were used to evaluate the values during the follow-up.Results During the follow-up,the IOTN-AC values in the treatment group were decreasing,conversely,the values in the control group were increasing,the expectation values of dental esthetics were increasing in both of the two groups,the differences above were significantly.Conclusions Expectation values of dental esthetics were higher during the follow-up in both of the treatment and untreatment cases,so the dentists and the nurses should encourage the consolidation therapy in treatment cases,and persuade the untreatment cases for orthodontic therapy in order to improve their psychological needs.
