Abstract
Aim: To determine the prevalence of different types of malocclusion based on Angle’s classification in Jammu. Materials and Methods: The sample size included 696 subjects (369 males and 327 females) in the age group of 13-14 years. The malocclusion determination was based on the Angle’s classification of malocclusion. Results: The results showed that 83% of the subjects had malocclusion. Class I malocclusion constituted the major proportion of malocclusion, which was found in 67% of the studied population. Class II Division I constituted 8% of the sample size. Class II Division II constituted 6% of the sample size. Class III constituted 2% of the total sample size. Conclusion: Majority of the subjects had Angle’s Class I malocclusion with crowded incisors. There is a need to simplify and standardize criteria for assessing malocclusion and to plan the need of orthodontic treatment among the population.
