Introduction: Knowledge of the distribution of different malocclusions in a geographic location could help orthodontics better know the problems in that region. Moreover, giving awareness about the problem and treatment possibilities can help people. This study aimed to determine types of malocclusion and dental caries in children aged 11 to 14 years in Roudsar, Iran. Materials and Methods: In...

This study assessed the malocclusion types, very severe crowding and need for serial extraction among a random sample of 7-9-year-old children in Shiraz, Islamic Republic of Iran. Of the 3776 children 30.6% had normal occlusion, 47.4% class I malocclusion, 13.7% class II division 1 malocclusion (male/female ratio 3:2), 1.0% class II division 2 malocclusion (male/female ratio 3:1) and 2.1% class...

The likelihood of birth defects in orofacial tissues is high due to the structural and developmental complexity of the face and the susceptibility to intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations. Skeletal malocclusion is caused by the distortion of the proper mandibular and/or maxillary growth during fetal development. Patients with skeletal malocclusion may suffer from dental deformities, bruxism, te...
