Abstract
With a population of more than one billion, India is the most populous democracy in the world, second in population next to China and seventh largest country in the world by area. Being a vast and diverse country with such a huge population, there exist differences in demography, nutrition, culture, feeding habits, ethnicity and religious beliefs. People are residing at various geographic areas; from the hilly terrains of Himachal Pradesh to the deserts of Rajasthan and from metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai to the tribal corners of this country. Though various studies have been conducted among diverse Indian regional populations, there are no reviews comparing the state-wise prevalence of malocclusion in India. In this review, a few epidemiological studies on state-wise prevalence of malocclusion traits in India are highlighted and further compared, so as to ascertain the epidemiological diversity of orthodontics in a huge country like India.
