Research shows that malocclusions have significant links to serious conditions, such as periodontal disease, diabetes and heart disease. Studies even suggest that the chance of an adult with malocclusion having periodontal disease is up by 50 percent. How Malocclusion Can Lead to Periodontal Disease Crowded or crooked teeth can lead to inefficient cleaning. The areas that cannot be reached by brushing can become areas that promote plaque build-up and gum infection. This may lead to periodontal disease, which is strongly linked to a number of serious diseases such as kidney and heart conditions.…
Age can be estimated in children and in adolescents by means of development and eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth up to 14 years. For most age estimation methods the developing teeth are assessed on radiographs.8 The assessment of skeletal maturation is considered as an integral part of daily clinical practice in multiple health profession.9, 10, 11 The technique for assessing skeletal maturity consists of visual inspection of the developing bones, their initial appearance and their subsequent ossification related changes in shape and size.

The maxillary midline diastema is one of the dento-alveolar disorders that cause special concern to patients and parents, specifically, given its position. Among 5-year-old children, during the period of primary dentition, the maxillary midline diastema appears in 97% of cases and along with primate spaces, predicts a future development of mixed and permanent dentition, without crowding. The presence of a maxillary midline diastema is a normal characteristic in development of stomatognathic system in the mixed dentition period, especially in the initial phase of eruption of permanent maxillary central incisors (Ugly duckling stage).

This chapter encompasses the comparative study in between Othello, the character and Othello syndrome patients. For that, several case studies of Othello syndrome patients were analyzed to identify the similarities in between Othello and Othello syndrome patients, which would lead us in attaining the categorical answer of our research question. The first prominent element found in almost every case study was the “matured age of OS patients” for that, one of the research states, “The mean age at onset of the delusion for all 105 patients was 68 years (25–94) (Raeford, Whitwell, Gda, Joseph, 2011) It has been observed that the OS patients were mostly 35 to 71 years old, while on the other hand it was also evident that among all case studies, most of the OS victims were male.…
