Abstract
Correction Of Posterior Crossbite In Adolescents And Young Adults With Class I , Class II And Class III Malocclusion
Highlights
The hyrax appliance remains the appliance of choice in 21.43% of patients in the age group of 10 to years, 18.18 % of patients in the age group to 19 years and bone borne anchorage being chosen for only 9.09 % of patients in the age group 15 to years and 20% of patients in the age group of to 24 years with the help of MARPE appliance
Fixed appliance arch expansion was another mainstay of treatment choice with 64.29% of patients in the age group of 10 to years, 54.55% of patients in the age group to years and 40% of patients in the age group of to 24 years of age with transverse discrepancies undergoing arch expansion with broad arch form arch wires
Within the limits of this study, the association between age wise distribution of patients reported with posterior crossbite in Angle’s class I, II, III malocclusion was assessed and it was found that there was no major difference across age groups in association with treatment plans
Summary
The study aims to to evaluate the association between age wise distribution of patients reported with posterior crossbite in Angle’s class I, II, III malocclusion and to assess the percentage distribution of various treatment modalities in posterior crossbite in class I, class II and class III malocclusion in adolescents and young adults. Posterior dental crossbite is a malocclusion seen frequently in the mixed and permanent dentition. Prevalence of posterior crossbites in the primary dentition is high and represents one of the most frequent orthodontic problems in this stage of occlusal development.
