43) and the grades of complexity were compared between two genders and in different age groups. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were applied for data analysis considering p < 0.05.Results: Out of 45% of the population found in need for orthodontic treatment, there was no significant difference between the two genders, but the 15-year-old individuals needed treatment significantly more than the individuals with 13 and 14 years of age. The mean ICON score was 44.3±20.28, which showed no significant difference between the two genders. The majority of the cases (34%) were categorized in the easy compartment in terms of complexity and 18% had difficult or very difficult grades of complexity. The genders and age groups exhibited no significant difference in terms of the complexity grade.Conclusion: Although half of the studied cases needed treatment, nearly one-fifth had difficult or very difficult complexity grade, which indicates the need for specialist care.Key Words ● Orthodontic treatment needs ● Complexity ● Index of Complexity Outcome and Need (ICON) ]]>

There was significant difference in µSBS values among the three different storage periods in all the tested materials (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Incorporation of 0.5 %wt. silica nanoparticles did not compromise the µSBS of Fuji II LC RMGI to dentin.Key Words Glass Ionomer; Silica; Nanoparticles ; Shear Strength]]>
