Objective: To determine the use of an index of orthodontics treatment need (IOTN) in orthodontic treatment needs of Peshawar adolescent.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross sectional included 200 young people by consecutive sampling technique from August 2018 to February 2019. The examinations were done on the study models and all-encompassing radiographs taken from every subject. The Dental Health Component (DHC) and Aesthetic Component (AC) segments of the IOTN were applied as an evaluation measure of the requirement for orthodontic treatment. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 20.0. The Pearson correlation test was run to examine the relation between the DHC and the AC of the IOTN.
Results: out of total n=200, the females were n=130(65%), and males were n=70(35%). The mean age was 22.7±5.95 years. The most frequent group of IOTN health component was ‘no need’ n=92(46%) followed by ‘need’ was n=63(31.5%) and least was ‘borderline need’ was n=45(22.5%). The most frequent group of IOTN esthetics component was ‘no need’ n=90(45%) followed by ‘need’ was n=62(31%) while least was ‘borderline need’ was 48(24%). The correlation between the IOTN health and IOTN aesthetic component was very strong and significant (r=0.976, P<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the IOTN assessment in our population, only one-third of the presenting are in ‘need ‘of treatment, and one fifth is in ‘borderline need.
