“…However, none has used the Angle classification of malocclusions, which is based on the anteroposterior relationship of the maxillary to the mandibular first molars. 11 Although the Angle classification was developed more than a century ago, it remains the most commonly used classification of malocclusions, [12][13][14][15] and its universal acceptance by the dental profession is evidence of its practicality. 15 Because Angle classification is widely used and no studies have used it to evaluate quality of life, the present study was designed to fill this gap in the literature and to expand current knowledge about the impacts of malocclusion on quality of life.…”

Objective: To compare the prevalence, intensity, and extent of condition-specific oral impacts on quality of life attributed to malocclusion by Brazilian adolescents with normal occlusion and those with Angle Class I, II, and III malocclusion. Materials and Methods: Four groups of 55 adolescents were configured such that each group represented normal occlusion, as well as Angle Class I, II, and III malocclusion. No radiographs were taken. Adolescents aged 15 to 16 years were selected from those attending all secondary schools in Bauru (Sao Paulo, Brazil). The Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index was used to collect data on condition-specific impacts (CSIs) attributed to malocclusion. The prevalence, as well as the intensity and extent, of CSIs was compared among the four groups with the use of Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests, respectively. Results: Groups were comparable according to sex, age, and socioeconomic status. The prevalence of CSI was significantly different between groups (P ϭ .039). Class II and III malocclusion groups reported a higher prevalence of CSI than those with normal occlusion and Class I malocclusion. However, the intensity and extent of CSI were not significantly different between groups. Conclusions: The prevalence, but not the intensity and extent, of CSIs attributed to malocclusion differed among groups with different malocclusions. The present findings support the concept that malocclusion has physical, psychological, and social effects on quality of life.

“…), or a disassociation between the dental arches in any of the three planes of direction (Proffit, 1986). While there are many references regarding the treatment of malocclusion in the clinical literature (Angle, 1907;Dahiya et al, 2017;Singhal et al, 2015), there is little consensus on how it is quantified or fully defined (Tang and Wei., 1993). The earliest and still commonly used classification of malocclusion is that offered by Angle (1899).…”

Since the codification of the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System over 25 years ago, few additional morphological traits have been defined. This work serves to expand the current suite of traits currently collected by biological anthropologists. These traits surround various issues of malocclusion and follow clinical definitions of these traits as well as incorporate observed population variation in character states. These traits include issues of spacing (i.e., diastema and crowding) as well as mandibular and maxillary occlusion (i.e., overbite, underbite). A discussion of the etiology and utility of these traits in bioarchaeological and forensic anthropological research is also given.

“…However, countries that have health services which offer orthodontic treatment have developed and applied a series of quantitative methods (malocclusion indices) to detect the severity and treatment need of each case, in an attempt to define the priority of some cases over others objectively and thus rationalize their public expenditure. Tang and Wei (1993) reviewed the literature and summarized the evolution of methods for recording malocclusion in recent decades. They concluded that the trend in both qualitative and quantitative methods has changed, as initially researchers did not define the signs of malocclusion before recording them, chose the variables arbitrarily and recorded the data according to a criterion of all or nothing.…”
