“…Class II malocclusion is one of the most prevalent orthodontic problems in the Caucasian population [27][28][29]. It might cause detrimental aesthetic effects and social impairment in children's daily lives as it affects their oral-health-related quality of life, and it is a risk factor for dental traumas [30].…”

The condylion-gonion-menton angle (CoGoMe^) is commonly used as a pre-treatment indicator of responsiveness in Class II patients treated with functional appliances. The distribution of this angle in the Caucasian population is still unknown. This study aimed to determine the distribution of the CoGoMe^ and its relationship with age, sagittal jaw relationship (ANPg^), and mandibular inclination (SN^GoGn) in patients from Southern Italy. The sample included 290 subjects (median14 years of age; Interquartile range, IQR, 12–17) with lateral cephalograms taken before the orthodontic treatment. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ was assessed with the Shapiro–Wilk test, and the differences according to the ANPg^ and the SN^GoGn were estimated using one-way ANOVA. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate how the CoGoMe^ varied according to age. The statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. The results showed that the CoGoMe^ was normally distributed (P = 0.290) with a mean value of 127.2° ± 7.7°. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ in groups with different SN^GoGn angles was significantly different (P < 0.001). These angles showed a positive association (Beta coefficient B = 0.6; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.67; P < 0.001). In growing patients, the CoGoMe^ decreased every year by 0.6° (B = −0.6; 95% CI: −1.05, −0.12; P = 0.014). In conclusion, the CoGoMe^ was associated with mandibular inclination and could be considered to be a predictor of vertical growth patterns.

“…3 In children and adolescents, a wide range of prevalence of malocclusion has been reported, ranging from 39% to 93%. [4][5][6] This variability can be ascribed to differences in ethnic groups, age groups and assessment procedures. 7,8 The umbrella term "oral parafunctions" includes abnormal behaviours of the oral structures and associated muscles that differ from physiological functional needs such as mastication, communication, swallowing or breathing.…”

“…It has been claimed that an altered occlusion can cause disturbances in oral function and also psychosocial problems due to the impaired dentofacial aesthetics . In children and adolescents, a wide range of prevalence of malocclusion has been reported, ranging from 39% to 93% . This variability can be ascribed to differences in ethnic groups, age groups and assessment procedures …”

Background The prevalence of malocclusion, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and oral parafunctions is highly debated in children population. Objectives To investigate the prevalence of malocclusion, self‐reported oral parafunctions and TMD‐pain in Italian schoolchildren and to assess the association between the examined factors. Methods A total of 700 children aged 9‐11 years were selected among six public schools in Campania region (Italy). Molar relationship, overjet, overbite and cross‐bite were assessed through a clinical examination. Furthermore, the subjects were demanded to fill in a validated questionnaire for TMD‐pain screening and the short form of the Oral Behaviours Checklist. Descriptive statistics were used to report the frequencies. The associations between occlusal traits, oral parafunctions and TMD‐pain were analysed with a Pearson chi‐square test, as expressed by odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results Molar Class I was the most frequently encountered molar relationship, followed by molar Class II, subdivision and molar Class III. Increased overjet was more common than negative overjet. Posterior cross‐bite was observed in 12% of children. TMD‐pain was recorded in 14.7% of subjects. High frequency of oral parafunctions was reported in 21.3% of subjects. A significant association was found between TMD‐pain and negative overbite. Cross‐bite and high frequency of oral parafunctions were associated with TMD‐pain. Conclusion The current results show that malocclusion, self‐reported oral parafunctions and TMD‐pain are frequent findings among Italian schoolchildren and that some occlusal factors and high frequency of oral parafunctions might be associated with TMD‐pain.

“…When female and male participants were investigated separately, it was observed that 73.2% of the male participants and 73% of the female participants had some degree of TMJ problems. In the studies performed, it was reported that more TMJ symptoms were observed in female groups (13,14,15). In our study, no difference was observed between the genders.…”

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the problems of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems on Faculty of Dentistry Students and to determine whether these problems were related to oral habits. Methods: The prevalence and severity of TMJ disorders were evaluated using the Fonseca questionnaire for 63 students (37 females & 26 males) studying at the Faculty of Dentistry in Harran University. In addition, the Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC) questionnaire was applied to the same students in order to analyze the relationship between TMJ problems and oral habits. Results: According to the results of Fonseca questionnaire, it was revealed that 73% of the participants had some degree of TMJ problems. When the female and male participants were investigated separately, it was observed that 73.2% of the male participants and 73% of the female participants had some degree of TMJ problems. The correlation between OBC and Fonseca was found to be positive. Conclusion: In our study, it was revealed that the increase in oral habits also increased the prevalence of TMJ disorder.
