“…Depending upon etiological factors treatment should be done as soon as it is detected to normalize the occlusion and create conditions for normal oro-facial development. 2 , 5 , 6 The present case report, therefore may prove helpful in recognizing the importance of early detection and treatment of functional crossbite due to premature contacts in developing dentition.…”

“…1 A unilateral posterior crossbite is usually due to a bilaterally constriction of maxilla or premature contacts during closure. 2 , 3 Innumerable researches and case reports are there in dental literature about the functional shift of mandible due to bilateral constriction of maxilla, giving an illusion of being the only cause. However, premature contacts in primary or in early mixed dentition are probably the most frequent cause of functional crossbites which often goes undetected, for functional occlusion in primary dentition is least commonly discussed topic in publications and text books of pedodontics.…”

The case reported here highlights the importance of examination of functional occlusion along with static occlusion. Any undetected malocclusion during early mixed dentition has potency to alter the growth and function of stomatognathic system. Premature contacts in primary canine region is the most prevalent cause of functional mandibular shift and can lead to TMJ problems for the prevalence of self correction of such malocclusion is very low if not intervened. A case of functional mandibular shift due to faulty canine guidance because of premature contacts is discussed here. Selective grinding of premature contacts and myofunctional exercise resulted in well balanced centric occlusion coinciding with centric relation.

“…The primary dentition in children should be ideal in order so that during future adulthood, the children may exhibit normal dental features 22 . The causative factors of malocclusion can be related to congenital, environmental, genetic, functional, or from oral habits 23 . One such type of malocclusion is posterior cross bite.…”

Posterior crossbite refers to inadequate transversal relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth. Posterior crossbite can be unilateral left, unilateral right or bilateral. The causes of this malocclusion are deleterious oral habits, early loss of primary teeth, hereditary factors and environmental factors. It is important to know the prevalence of posterior crossbite in order to provide proper treatment as early as possible. Posterior crossbite when not treated early, can result in skeletal changes. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of posterior crossbite in children of chennai. The present study was a retrospective observational study conducted in a university dental hospital located in Chennai. Data of 7415 Pediatrics patients between June 2019-March 2020 were reviewed. Patients from 6 to 13 years who had posterior crossbite were noted. This was followed by Excel tabulation . Data analysis was done in SPSS software using Chi square test for comparison of groups. About 1.4% children visiting university dental hospitals among 4292 children had posterior crossbite. Children of 10 to 13 years had more prevalence of posterior crossbite (P=0.349, statistically not significant) and prevalence of posterior crossbite was more in boys than girls (P= 0.175, statistically not significant) .
