Abstract

Background: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of malocclusion and radicular cyst in a known population and treatment.

Material and methods: This study comprised of 30 participants who underwent oral clinical examination. The study procedure had been explained to all the subjects and the subjects had been asked for informed consent. 10 out of 30 subjects denied to give consent and hence had been excluded from the study. The prevalence of malocclusion and radicular cyst in these subjects had been estimated. Two groups were made in which Group 1 comprised of subjects having malocclusion and Group 2 comprised of subjects who had radicular cysts in their oral cavity and the findings were tabulated. Also, treatment plans were made for these subjects. Statistical analysis had been conducted using SPSS software.

Results: In this study, there were 12 males and 8 females. There were 14 cases of malocclusion out of 20. Hence the prevalence of malocclusion in this study was 70%. There were 6 cases of radicular cysts and hence the prevalence was 30%. There were 14 subjects in group 1 and 6 subjects in group 2. Among 14 subjects having malocclusion, 8 subjects had type II malocclusion while 6 subjects had type III malocclusion. Out of 14 subjects with type II malocclusion, Frankel II appliance was fabricated for 4 subjects, twin block appliance was made for 3 subjects and activator was fabricated in 1 case. While for the subjects having type III malocclusion, Frankel III appliance was made for 4 subjects, reverse head gear was given in 1 case and chin cup was made for 1 patient. For the treatment of radicular cyst, enucleation was carried out in all the subjects.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the prevalence of malocclusion and radicular cyst was 70% and 30%, respectively. Various myofunctional appliances and orthodontic appliances had been fabricated for subjects with type II and type III malocclusions and enucleation was carried out in all the subjects who had radicular cyst in their oral cavity.
