Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of growth modification treatments on oral health-related quality of life in adolescents aged 11 to 14 years with Class II malocclusion.
Methods: Eighty people participated in this case-control study. The case group (n=43) included adolescents with a history of Class II malocclusion treated with growth modification. The control group consisted of 37 adolescents with Class II malocclusion who were not treated. Both groups were given a translation of the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ), measuring the quality of life in four domains: oral symptoms, functional limitations, psychological health, and social well-being. Data were statistically analyzed by SPSS software and a significance level of 0.05 was considered.
Results: The oral health-related quality of life of the case group was better than the control group in all areas although this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.204).
Conclusion: The oral health-related quality of life between two groups was not different; however, the difference in mental health components between the two groups was clinically negligible.

Aim: The main goal of thisstudywas to evaluate orthodontic treatment needs (IOTN) ofschoolboys population of Isfahan in 2009-2010based on Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN).Materials and Methods: In this study an examiner used the Dental Health Component (DHC) and Aesthetic components (AC) of IOTN to assess Orthodontic treatment needs for 400 Isfahan schoolboys. Multistage randomized cluster sampling method was used to choose the participants. All the participants were schoolboys aged 11 to 14 years. Using the IOTN, Malocclusion was determined. To evaluate the data a chi-square test was carried out. Results: Taking into account DHC, 3.5% of Isfahan schoolboys were in 'Extreme need', 14% in 'Severe need', 25% in 'Moderate need', 38.5% in 'Little need' and 19% had 'No need' to orthodontic treatment.In evaluating AC, 77.5% had no need or little need, 16.5% had moderate need and 6% had great need to treatment group.Conclusion: It was concluded that 17.5% of 11-14 year-old male students in Isfahan need orthodontic treatment (IOTN grades 4 and 5) and common deviations in this group were impaction, hypodontia and contact displacement.
