Abstract
Malocclusion is considered one of the most common problems related to oral health, its early and adequate diagnosis allows establishing a correct and more effective treatment plan. The objective was to describe the malocclusions of students of the school of dentistry in final academic term at the UTE University in Quito, Ecuador, during the years 2018 and 2019. The data were obtained from the respective medical records on file at the SERODU university clinic. The evaluations to determine the malocclusion were made from the characterization of the vertical, horizontal, and transverse planes, using the Angle criteria. The mean age among the patients was 24.5 years, with a standard deviation of 1.91. The analysis of the presence of overjet and overbite allowed establishing that the highest mean measurement was framed in molar class II, for 4.19 mm (SD = 3.07) and 3.59 mm (SD = 2.47), respectively. The unilateral crossbite on the transverse axis (26.67%). The normal category prevailed in the type of bite in the horizontal and vertical planes in the three molar classes.
