Abstract
It is of interest to document the
known relationship between periodontal status and Angle’s
malocclusion types. We used 26092 case records of patients between
16 to 50 years of age with no gender restrictions. Variables such as
age, gender, periodontal diagnosis and type
of Angle’s occlusion were extracted and tabulated. Statistical
analysis was completed using chi square test in the SPSS software
version 20. Data shows that the majority (95.27%) had Angle’s class
I occlusion and less than 5% had class II and Class III occlusion.
Statistical analysis of class II and Class III cases with 1000
randomly selected cases of class I occlusion show a significant
difference in the periodontal status between different types of
Angle’s occlusion. Chronic periodontitis was more in class I (10.4%)
and it was the lowest in Class II Div 2 (4.3%) occlusion. Class II
Div 1(23.8%) and Class III (17%) had the highest and lowest
proportion of clinically healthy periodontium, respectively. Thus,
we report that angles occlusion types had significant influence on
periodontal status along with the other determinants.
