Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the distribution of the awareness level of orthodontic treatment in students of 111 Public Junior High School, Jakarta and to compare it between male and female subjects.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was held to 107 students aged 12-14 years old in 111 Public Junior High School, Jakarta. This study was analyzed using univariate and Mann-Whitney analysis with a 95% confidence level.Results: The awareness level of most students is moderate (45.8%), followed by high level of awareness (33.6%) and low level of awareness (20.6%). The median and range of the total score in female subjects are 28 (14-34), while in male subjects, the median and range are 24 (13-34). There is significant difference of orthodontic treatment awareness between male and female subjects (P = 0.028).Conclusion: The awareness level of orthodontic treatment in early adolescents is moderate. Female subjects have higher level of awareness about orthodontic treatment than male subjects.

Assessment of mandibular growth status has been done using cephalometric radiographs by looking at cervical bone maturation. Recent studies suggest that this method is not good at identifying the final period of growth. In recent years, biomolecular re-search has been conducted to look at the potential of proteins as growth indicators. It is important to comprehensively understand the mandibular growth process in order to determine which proteins have the potential to be used as indicators. Mandibular growth is a complex biological process that is regulated by various proteins through various signalling pathways. The centre of growth is at the mandibular condyle which has a unique cartilage and plays a dual role as articular cartilage and growth plate. This review discusses the role of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) in the mandibular growth process and its signalling pathways. The FGFR-3 was shown to act as a negative regulator of mandibular growth by reducing the proliferation and hypertrophic dif-ferentiation of chondrocytes in mandibular condylar cartilage. It is concluded that the regulation of FGFR-3 is localised due to pre-vious studies on condylar cartilage of experimental animals, so further research needs to be done to see the role of FGFR-3 in human mandibular growth.

Introduction: Based on Indonesia Basic Health Research in 2018, it is known that 47% of Lampung people experience tooth decay and only 51% of them regularly go to the dentist. The need for orthodontic treatment is quite high among students. Epidemiological studies in Japan show that around 40% of teenagers aged 15-18 years need orthodontic treatment, 27%-36% in England aged 10-15 years, while in South Jakarta (2004) is 48.5%. Brook and Shaw introduced the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), to assess the need for orthodontic treatment in England. IOTN has been applied by Agusni, T to measure the treatment needs of urban and rural children in Surabaya. Objective: Aims to determine the perceptions of elementary school students in Lampung regarding Malocclusion and the need for Orthodontic treatment. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2023, carried out on students at public Elementary School Bumi Agung who met the inclusion criteria, namely aged 9-13 years, had never and were not currently undergoing orthodontic treatment, and were willing to take part in the research. 130 people were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Questionnaires were used to obtain sociodemographic data and general knowledge about Dental and Oral Health and Malocclusion. Assessment of the need for orthodontic treatment was carried out using the AC IOTN by the subject and operator. Results: 90% of students answered the questionnaire correctly, and 42% of students needed orthodontic treatment. A Pearson Chi-Square analysis test was carried out and found that there was a statistical difference in the perception of the need for orthodontic treatment by students and operators (p-value <0.05). Conclusion: Students at SDN Bumi Agung, Kalianda, Lampung, have very good general knowledge about Dental and Oral Health and Malocclusion. However, this is unsubstantiated by the perception of the need for orthodontic treatment.

Introduction: This case series evaluated the efficacy of removable orthodontic appliances in managing mild to moderate anterior dental crowding. Objective: To determine the association between payment scheme, insurance participation, and economic status with orthodontic appliance preference among undergraduate students in West Jakarta. Case Report: Case I: A 21-year-old female with a Class I skeletal pattern. Clinical examination revealed a moderate crowding in the maxillary arch and a mild crowding in the mandibular arch with overjet and overbite, except teeth 12 and 32. The patient was treated with a removable orthodontic appliance featuring an expansion screw and active components. Post-treatment demonstrated a reduction of the overjet, an increase in the overbite, and significant correction of anterior crowding in both arches. Case II: A 22-year-old patient with a chief complaint of misaligned lower front teeth three months after completing fixed orthodontic treatment. The patient Class II canine relationships, 3.5 mm overjet and mild crowding in both arches. The patient was treated with a removable orthodontic appliance, and successfully corrected the lower arch anterior crowding and reduced the overjet. Disscussion: The two cases demonstrated the effective use of a removable appliance in addressing different orthodontic problems. Combined with techniques such as interproximal reduction and regular follow-up, successfully improved dental alignment, overjet, overbite, and smile appearance. Conclusion: Removable orthodontic appliances offer a viable treatment modality for mild to moderate cases of dental crowding. This cases presented provide evidence supporting their effectiveness in improving dental alignment, thereby contributing to enhanced esthetics and patient confidence.
