    Study Notes

    Malocclusion of Teeth

    • Malocclusion is a condition where teeth deviate from their normal relationship to other teeth in the same arch and the opposing arch.
    • Malocclusion can be simple or complex.
    • Malocclusion can be categorized by teeth, dental arches, or dental bases (skeletal).

    Dental Arch

    • The dental arch is the arch formed by the crowns of the teeth.
    • This includes the upper and lower arches.

    Alveolar Bone

    • Alveolar bone comprises parts of the maxilla and mandible that form and support tooth sockets.
    • The alveolar bone is a specialized bone structure crucial for holding teeth in place.
    • It surrounds the root of the tooth

    Intra-arch Problems

    • Sagittal Problems:
      • Labioversion: Tooth tilted toward the lips.
      • Linguoversion: Tooth tilted toward the tongue.
      • Mesioversion: Tooth tilted toward the midline.
      • Distoversion: Tooth tilted away from the midline.
    • Vertical Problems:
      • Supraversion: Tooth positioned above the normal level.
      • Infraversion: Tooth positioned below the normal level.
    • Rotation: Tooth rotated around its long axis.
    • Transposition: Two teeth have exchanged positions during development.
    • Imbrication: Teeth are irregularly arranged due to lack of space.
    • Crowding: Lack of space for all teeth to fit normally within the jaws, resulting in tooth rotations or displacement.

    Additional Malposition Details

    • Various malpositions of teeth are defined by their direction or nature of displacement: mesial displacement, distal displacement, mesial inclination, distal inclination, lingual inclination, labial inclination, buccal inclination, labial and buccal displacement, infraocclusion, supraocclusion.

    Mesial and Distal Displacement

    • Mesial displacement: Tooth bodily displaced towards the midline of the arch.
    • Distal displacement: Tooth bodily displaced away from the midline of the arch.

    Mesial and Distal Inclination

    • Mesial inclination: Tooth tilted along the dental arch towards the midline, with its crown located too close to the midline.
    • Distal inclination: Tooth tilted along the dental arch away from the midline, with its crown located too far from the midline.

    Lingual Inclination

    • Lingual inclination: Tooth tilted towards the tongue. Retroclination is often used to describe the lingual tilting of anterior teeth.

    Labial and Buccal Inclination/Displacement

    • Labial inclination: Tooth tilted towards the lips.
    • Buccal inclination: Term used for molars/premolars; refers to tilting towards the cheek. Labial and buccal displacement describe bodily outward displacement of teeth.

    Infraocclusion and Supraocclusion

    • Infraocclusion: Tooth's occlusal surface has not reached the standard level of other teeth in the arch.
    • Supraocclusion: Tooth has excessively erupted beyond the standard level of the other teeth.

    Rotations (Mesiolingual and Distolingual)

    • Mesiolingual rotation: Tooth rotated around its long axis such that its mesial surface faces the tongue.
    • Distolingual rotation: Tooth rotated in the opposite direction (distal surface toward the tongue).

    Inter-arch Problems

    • Sagittal Problems:
      • Class II malocclusion: Relationship of upper and lower teeth where the lower jaw is behind the upper jaw.
      • Class III malocclusion: Relationship of upper and lower teeth where the lower jaw is ahead of the upper jaw.
    • Transverse Problems:
      • Crossbites: One or more teeth in an incorrect transverse position (buccal, lingual, or labial) relative to their opposing teeth.
      • Scissors bite: Total crossbite with the opposing mandibular dentition completely positioned within occlusal contact.
    • Vertical Problems:
      • Deep bite/increased overbite: Excessive overlap of the upper teeth over the lower teeth.
      • Open bite: Lack of vertical relationship between upper and lower teeth.

    Angle's Classification of Malocclusion

    • Angle proposed the first classification system in 1899, based on the relationship of the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar to the buccal groove of the lower first molar.
      • Class I: normal mesiobuccal cusp relation.
      • Class II: mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar is mesially positioned to the buccal groove of the lower first molar.
      • Class III: mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar is distally positioned to the buccal groove of the lower first molar.

    Modifications to Angle's System

    • Lischer and Dewey proposed modifications to Angle's system.

    British Standard Classification of Incisor Relationship

    • Classification based on the relationship of the lower incisors to the upper incisors (ignoring molar relationships in some cases).
      • Class I: Lower incisor edges immediately below/occlude with cingulum plateau of upper central incisors.
      • Class II: Lower incisor edges posterior to the cingulum plateau of upper incisors, with two subclasses (division 1: increased overjet, division 2: minimal overjet).
      • Class III: Lower incisor edges anterior to the cingulum plateau of upper incisors.

    Canine Classification

    • Class I canine: Mesial slope of the upper canine is in line with the distal slope of the lower canine.
    • Class II canine: Mesial slope of the upper canine is anterior to the distal slope of the lower canine.
    • Class III canine: Mesial slope of the upper canine is posterior to the distal slope of the lower canine.

    Simon's Classification (1926)

    • Used three anthropologic planes to classify dental arches:
      • Frankfort horizontal plane (eye-ear plane).
      • Orbital plane.
      • Mid-sagittal plane.

    Skeletal Malocclusion

    • Skeletal defects in jaw size, position, or relationship can result in malocclusion, evident in sagittal, vertical, and transverse planes.
    • Skeletal malocclusions include prognathic jaws (protruding lower jaw), retrognathic jaws (retracted lower jaw), skeletal deep bites, skeletal open bites, and skeletal cross bites.

    Skeletal Classification

    • Skeletal Class I: Maxilla and mandible are in harmony.
    • Skeletal Class II: Maxilla is more prominent than the mandible (retrognathic).
    • Skeletal Class III: Mandible is more prominent than the maxilla (prognathic).
