“…Middle Eastern nations had a mean prevalence of 10.18% out of 4127 individuals [19][20][21]. The European studies had an average prevalence rate 4.88% out of 1290 individuals [22,23]. The African data produced a prevalence rate of 4.59% out of 7017 individuals [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Objective: This study seeks to review current and relevant literature on global Angle class III malocclusion prevalence. Materials and Methods: The electronic databases PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Review were searched using specific inclusion criteria to obtain applicable articles. All pertinent references were also examined for acceptability. Results: A total of 20 articles were identified using the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of Angle class III malocclusion ranged from 0% to 26.7% in different populations reported in the literature examined. Meta-regression analysis showed no statistically significant association between prevalence rates and the method of assessment, age group and year of the study. However, much of the study-to-study variation (approximately 40%) could be explained by population. Conclusion: These results suggest that the prevalence of Angle class III malocclusion varies greatly within different races and geographic regions. Chinese and Malaysian populations have a higher prevalence of Angle class III malocclusion compared to other racial groups, while Indian populations have a lower prevalence than all other racial groups examined.

“…Overbite, the perpendicular distance from the edge of the central lower incisor to the upper central incisor edge, was measured in millimeters and considered as normal between 0 and 3 mm. Greater than 3 mm was considered as deep bite, less than 0 mm as open bite (1,10,11,13,16). Surplus space in the upper and lower dental arches exceeding 2 mm was considered as spacing (10,11).…”

“…Most of these indices assess not only the severity of malocclusion but also evaluate the aesthetics. The aesthetic component of the indices is more subjective and less readily measurable than the morphological characteristics (11). The subjectivity of indices used to record orthodontic anomalies, their questionable validity and reliability may contribute to inconsistency of results.…”

“…It may depend on differences in registration methods, ethnic origin, social class, or age of the examined subjects (1). However, e792 diagnostic criteria are the key factor determining the prevalence of malocclusion (11). Numerous indices such as IOTN, DAI, and ICON have been developed to rank or score the deviation of malocclusion from the normal (12,13).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of individual traits of malocclusion in a sample of Turkish orthodontic patients. Study design: The present study was based on the examination of dental casts, intraoral photographs and panoramic radiographs of 1507 orthodontic patients (884 females and 623 males). The relationship of the first upper and lower molars according to the Angle's classification, overjet, overbite, crowding, spacing, posterior crossbite, scissor bite, maxillary median diastema were examined. The Pearson chi-squared and Fisher's Exact tests were used to determine potential differences in the distribution of malocclusion when stratified by gender. Results: The study demonstrated that only 52 (3.5%) of the subjects had normal occlusion. Class I malocclusion was found in 626 (41.5%), Class II Division 1 in 435 (28.9%), Class II Division 2 in 142 (9.4%) and Class III malocclusion in 252 (16.7%) subjects of all examined. Normal overbite, normal overjet, crossbite on both sides and severe crowding in the upper dental arch were observed more frequently in females (P<.05), however, increased overbite and moderate crowding in the upper dental arch were observed more frequently in males (P<.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that crowding in the upper and lower dental arches in a sample of Turkish population was the most frequent of all anomalies recorded with ranges of 70.0% and 47.3%, respectively.

Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions a Problem‐oriented Approach to Orthodontics

Aim: To estimate the frequency of orthodontic anomalies in the period of mixed dentition in children, and to highlight the importance of prompt treatment in order to prevent more serious disorders of the child oral health. Materials and methods: For accomplishing the goal we've conducted systematic and control check-ups on children at the age of 9; 95 children from urban areas, and 68 from rural areas. Results: Of 95 analyzed children from urban areas with ethnic Macedonian population, 81 have an orthodontic anomaly. Nearly half of them i.e. 39 have mobile appliances. The most common anomaly are protrusion of teeth standing at 28.3%, a deep bite with 21% and crowding with 17.2%. Of 68 analyzed children from rural areas of ethnic Albanians, 54 have an orthodontic anomaly, while only 3 children wear mobile appliances. The most common anomalies are both crowding and maxillary protrusion of teeth with an equal 27.7%. If we compare the results: the occurrence of orthodontic anomalies is slightly higher in the Macedonian population. Conclusion: Orthodontic anomalies are diagnosed during regular systematic dental check-ups for children aged 7-13. The period of mixed dentition, which is characterized by an intense growth of the jaws, is ideal for orthodontic treatment. The parents have opportunities to inform themselves of the orthodontic anomaly of their children and promptly visit an orthodontist. With properly conducted activities on behalf of the preventive teams, we can severely decrease the percentage of children with orthodontic irregularities.
