“…1 Malocclusion is the third highest prevalent oral pathologic conditions, secondary to tooth decay and periodontal disease and hence, needs careful attention. 2 Malocclusions occur as a result of orofacial adaptability to various etiological factors, which result in several implications, such as psychosocial problems related to impaired dentofacial esthetics, disturbances of oral functions, such as mastication, swallowing and speech, and greater susceptibility to trauma and periodontal disease. 1 The studies on prevalence and incidence of malocclusion have been carried out occasionally since 1889.…”

Introduction:The present study analyzed the characteristics of malocclusions, occlusal traits among Special Health care Needs (SHCN) children with Down syndrome (DS) and autism disorder (AD) in Riyadh City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods:A total of 100 DS and 100 AD children from five rehabilitation centers in and around Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, were included in the study. Any children with history of ongoing medical treatment, extraction, or orthodontic treatment were excluded from the study. Out of the 200 patients examined, 131 were males and 69 were females and the age of the children ranged from 6 to 14 years. The children were examined for malocclusion characteristics using the Angle's classification of malocclusion, and also other occlusal traits, such as overjet, overbite, cross bite, and open bite were also determined. The data obtained were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 16 to generate descriptive statistics for each variable. Results:The analyzed data of the right and left permanent molar relation showed higher incidence of class III malocclusion (66%) in DS children as compared with (3-4%) AD children. The AD children presented with higher percentage of class I malocclusion (40-41%) as compared with (10-14%) DS children. During examination of the primary molars, the analyzed data showed that left primary molar had more mesial shift in AD children as compared with DS children.Conclusion: Down syndrome children had high incidence of class III malocclusion and autistic children had high incidence of class I malocclusion. Overall, the DS children were more prone to malocclusion.

“…Malocclusion has been described as a malrelationship between the maxillary and mandibular arches in any plane or a malposition of teeth beyond normal limits (Shivakumar et al, 2009;Tak et al, 2013). Although not life-threatening, it is the third most prevalent oral pathology, after tooth decay and periodontal disease, and therefore a public health priority (Tak et al, 2013).…”

“…Those affected by malocclusion may experience a diminished self-image, affecting social and career opportunities (Cavalcanti et al, 2013;Shivakumar et al, 2009). Malocclusion has not been as thoroughly investigated as dental caries and periodontal disease, probably because the pain and misery caused by this disorder are seldom acute (Gauba et al, 1998;Shivakumar et al, 2009) but it has a greater impact on the individual in terms of social and functional limitations, psychological trauma (quality of life) and discomfort (Cavalcanti et al, 2013;Tak et al, 2013). Malocclusion affects oral health by leading to an increased prevalence of dental caries, and can cause gingival inflammation and temporomandibular joint disorders (Antunes et al, 2008;Shivakumar et al, 2009;Tak et al, 2013).…”

Malocclusion has great impact on society and the individual in terms of social and functional limitations, psychological trauma and discomfort. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) is a WHOrecommended method of screening for dentofacial anomalies and orthodontic treatment need. This survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need among high school students in Mangalore city, Karnataka State, India. List of schools in Mangalore city was obtained from the Block Educational Officer. After obtaining consent from the relevant authorities, four schools were selected by random sampling (lottery method). In these schools, all students who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were examined with the help of a recorder. A proforma was used to record demographic data (name of the student and school, age, gender), and the criteria of the DAI for each subject. Data were analyzed using the Chi squared test and a p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Study subjects numbered 422 and ranged in age from 11-18 years. According to the DAI criteria, 66.1% subjects had no abnormality or minor malocclusion (requiring little or no orthodontic treatment), 22.3% had definite malocclusion (in whom orthodontic treatment was an elective option), 9.9% presented with severe malocclusion (with orthodontic treatment being highly desirable) and 1.7% had very severe or handicapping malocclusion (requiring mandatory orthodontic treatment). Malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need were found to be present in 33.9% of the population surveyed. These data will help in planning and executing appropriate measures to overcome this oral condition.
