Abstract

To review and compile literature to check the post retention stability of skeletal open bite correction by molar intrusion. Articles were searched in Electronic database of English literature i.e. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and google scholar. Titles and abstracts of potential articles with inclusion criteria were examined and included based on consensus agreement. Abstracts of articles having characteristics that were uncertain were examined, with full article retrieval if necessary. The reference list of the retrieved articles were also searched. On comparing the mean post treatment and post retention of overbite derived from their respected forest plot graphs, there was 32 percent relapse in the overbite correction. This study states that skeletal open bite patients treated with molar intrusion have 68 % stability, whereas the intruded molar have a 95% stability.
