ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Quantitative evaluation of Orthodontic diagnosis is considered to be a difficult task due to its subjective nature. On the contrary, several indices have been presented for quantitative assessment of severity of malocclusion and evaluation of treatment need. Aims and objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyze the orthodontic treatment by PAR index in Pakistan. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Demontmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore during October 2018 to February 2019. The data was collected from 100 orthodontics patients of both genders. All the data was collected before and after treatment. The total PAR scores were measured. Information regarding patients’ age, gender, angle’s malocclusion, duration of active treatment, extraction or non-extraction was collected from their files. Results: The data was collected from 100 patients. The mean age was 35.67±5.46 years. There was 100 % correction in upper and lower anterior segment followed by more than 85% correction in lower left, upper left, upper right, and right buccal segments respectively. Overbite was the only variable that ended up with less than 50 % correction. Conclusion: It is concluded that a significant positive correlation exists between pretreatment PAR score and point reduction
