Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Occlusion is defined as “manner in which the upper and lower teeth intercuspate between each other in all mandibular positions and movements”. The development of occlusion is based on the neuromuscular control of the components of the mastication system namely: teeth, periodontal structures, maxilla and mandible, temporomandibular joints and their associated muscles and ligaments. It may lead to gingival recession, mobility of teeth and tooth wear. One such consequence that affects the young individuals was the tooth wear. The aim of the study was to correlate the prevalence of tooth wear among young individuals with malocclusion.The individuals of age group 18-25years (1000students) were included in the study. Out of 1000 Students, 500 were males and 500 were females. The traditional angle’s classification was used to access the prevalence of malocclusion and tooth wear was measured with Smith and Knight Index.Our study population showed that tooth wear is more common in participants with class II malocclusion. Among the participants, around 44.8% of males and 37% of females having class II division I malocclusion were affected by tooth wear. Chi square test was used which shows statistically significant association of tooth wear and malocclusion. (p value<0.05). The main etiology of the tooth wear is found to be malocclusion. So we the dental team all around the world should enhance and motivate the young individuals.
