The Association between Malocclusion and Dental Caries among Yemeni School Children in Sana’a City

Abstract

Background: Even though few studies have documented malocclusion in different age groups in Yemen, the literature on the prevalence of malocclusion in mixed dentition is scarce or non-existent. Dental caries is another common condition that affects overall health. However, its link to malocclusion in mixed dentition is unknown in Yemen.
