TL;DR: A strong need for orthodontic treatment is found among schoolchildren in Casablanca, Morocco, confirming the utility of implementing a programme of bucco-dental prevention and screening for malocclusion.

TL;DR: No statistically significant association could be established between TMD and the various factors under investigation with the exception of the association between gender and the Helkimo anamnesis index, stage of treatment and the helkimo clinical index.

TL;DR: The Moroccan Arabic version of the PIDAQ obtained following thorough adaptation of the native form is both reliable and valid and is able to capture self-perception of orthodontic aesthetic and treatment need and is consistent with normative need for orthodentic treatment.

TL;DR: The results confirmed the effectiveness of orthodontic mini-implants, but in certain situations adjustment of the treatment plan or modifications in the technique of implant placement may lead to improved success rates.
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this prospective clinical study was to assess the risk factors associated with failure of mini-implants used for orthodontic anchorage. Materials and Methods: A total of 140 miniimplants in 44 patients, including 48 miniplates and 92 freestanding miniscrews, were examined in the study. A variety of orthodontic loads were applied. The majority of implants were placed in the posterior maxilla (104/140), and the next most common location was the posterior mandible (34/140). Results: A cumulative survival rate of 89% (125/140) was found by Kaplan-Meier analysis. There was no significant difference in the survival rate between miniplates and freestanding miniscrews, but miniplates were used in more hazardous situations. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model identified anatomic location and peri-implant soft tissue character as 2 independent prognostic indicators. The estimated relative risk of implant failure in the posterior mandible was 1.101 (95% confidence interval, 0.942 to 1.301; P = .046). The risk ratio of failure for implants surrounded by nonkeratinized mucosa was 1.117 (95% confidence interval, 0.899 to 1.405; P = .026). Discussion and Conclusion: The results confirmed the effectiveness of orthodontic mini-implants, but in certain situations adjustment of the treatment plan or modifications in the technique of implant placement may lead to improved success rates.
