Prevalence of Malocclusion Among Adolescents In Central Anatolia

Abstract: ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of malocclusion in a population of Central Anatolian adolescents in relation to gender.MethodsThe sample comprised 2329 teenagers (1125 boys and 1204 girls), aged between 12 and 17 years (mean age: 14.6 yrs). Occlusal anteroposterior relationships were assessed using the Angle classification. Other variables examined were overjet, overbite, crowding, midline diastema, posterior crossbite, and scissors bite.ResultsThe results showed that about… Show more

“…Excessive (> 3 mm) in 37.09% and reduced in (4.54%) and edge to edge in (2.9%), without any significant gender difference (p > 0.080). These findings were different to those observed by Proffit et al [16] who reported 29.6% had normal and (45.2%) had increased overjet with significant gender difference, but was similar to that findings by Gelgor et al [23] (p < 0.05), and less than findings in Riyadh (75.4%) with reduced overjet (< 2 mm) (19.3%), which is more than that found in the northern border region of Saudi Arabia (11.4%). An increased overjet (> 3 mm) was found in (37%), which was higher in comparison to the findings in Jordan (24.7%) and less to that in Turkey (41.7%) [24][25][26][27].…”

“…[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. 9 It is believed that oral habits can be considered as an important aetiologic factor of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), as they lead to a traumatic dental occlusion that may affect the teeth and the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, causing the disruption of the functional balance of the stomatognathic system, or worsening the already present TMD.…”

“…The reported prevalence of malocclusion varies from 30% to 93% (2,3). In 1985, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 21% to 64% of children 13 to 14 years-old had orthodontic treatment needs (2).…”
