Definitions Occlusion: The changing interrelationship of the opposing surfaces of max & mand.teeth occuring during movements of mand & the terminal full contact of max. & mand arches. Not a static condition Normal occlusion [angle]: evenly placed rows of teeth arranged in graceful curve with harmony between upper & lower arches www.indiandentalacademy.com
Three factors 1.Occlusal inclined planes of cusps 2.Support given by harmonious size of both arches 3. Influence of muscles Characteristics of normal occlusion 1. Correct axial position of teeth 2. Normal over jet overbite 3. Normal relationship of individual teeth 4. Normal relationship of dental arches to each other & to face & cranium
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Malocclusion: An arrangement of teeth in a dentition &/or relation in the jaws to each other which is not according to the accepted morphologic configuration of human maxillodentofacial complex. Classification: it’s a grouping of clinical cases of similar appearance for ease in comparison , handling & discussion

Classification systems Angle’s system Modifications Lischers modification Deways modification
Simons classification Ackerman proffit classification Malpositions Bennet classification Skeletal classification Modified Angles classification www.indiandentalacademy.com
Angle’s system E.H Angle -1899 Most uni. Used. BASIS: Relationship of 1st per.molar teeth & alignment of teeth to line of occlusion Key to occlusion _ max 1st molar Basically describes the AP relationship It has 4 groups Normal occlusion Class I malocclusion Class II malocclusion www.indiandentalacademy.com Class III malocclusion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Normal occlusion: normal molar relationship , teeth in line of occlusion Class I normal molar relation but teeth not in line of occlusion Class II a full premolar width disto-occlusion line of occlusion not specified Class III a full premolar width mesio-occlusion (resulting in a Class I range of 14 mm)
Class II a full premolar width disto-occlusion and Class III a full premolar width mesio-occlusion (resulting in a Class I range of 14 mm) Class I from a full premolar width in either direction to one half of a cusp in either direction (reducing the range of Class I to 7 mm)

Class I malocclusion • AP relationship of max & mand molars correct • Normal AP relationship between max & mand • Usually Normal muscle function • Bimax protrusion • Diff between normal occlusion & class I
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Class II malocclusion • Relative MD relations of dental arches abnormal with all lower teeth occluding distal to normal Molar relation Consists of 2 divisions Same molar relation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Class II Div I Mand denture may r may not be normal with respect to individual teeh Protrusion of max incisors Over eruption of incisors Narrow max arch V shape Abnormal muscle function Lower lip cushions upper teeth Accentuation of max arch Depending on tongue lower ant may / may not over erupt Class II Div I sub division

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Class III malocclusion • All the lower teeth occlude mesial to normal the width of 1 bicuspid tooth or more • mand # large bodily or situated mesially to an abnormal degree • Mand incisors in total cross bite • Lower ant. # excessively inclined lingually# lip pressure • Individual tooth irregularities • Constricted max arch deficient arch length • Tongue # floor of the mouth • Max incisors # more lingually inclined • constricted max arch www.indiandentalacademy.com
Facial profile & molar relationship

Pseudo class III
• Postural , habitual class III • Lingually inclined max incisors gliding down lingual surfaces of mand incisors on closure • Mand guided ant displacement • Causes: occlusal prematurities Premature loss of pri. Posteriors Enlarged adenoids www.indiandentalacademy.com
Limitations of angle classification • Discrepancies in vertical & transverse plane • Inconsistency or gray areas which are not fully class II or class III • Cant be applied if I molars are ext’d or missing • Max molar may vary in AP relationship • Individual tooth malpositions # overlooked • Mixed dentition ? • Malfunctions of muscles & problems of growth of bones were overlooked • Etiology ? www.indiandentalacademy.com
Lischers modifications
• Neutrocclusion or class I • Distocclusion or class II • Mesiocclusion or class III Buccocclusion Linguocclusion Supraocclusion Infraocclusion www.indiandentalacademy.com

Deways modification • Martin Deway class I 5 types class III 3 types Type 1:crowding of max. ant canines #labio axio or infaversion Type 2 :max incisors labioversion Type 3 :max incisors in linguoversion to mand incisors Type 4 :molars +/-premolars in bucco/ linguoversion Type 5:molars in mesioversion due to shifting www.indiandentalacademy.com
Modifications angles class III Type 1: Individually arches are well formed Teeth in normal alignment Edge to edge bite in occlusion bodily movement of mand arch Type 2: mand incisors – crowded lingual relation to max incisors Type 3 :underdeveloped max arch crowded max incisors Cross bite Well developed mand arch , mand teeth normally aligned www.indiandentalacademy.com
Simons classification • Paul simon • A 3D classification • Related denture to face & cranium in 3 planes 1.FH plane vertical relationships deviations in ht of arch & teeth irt face cranium 2. orbital plane Sagittal deviations in AP relation of arch , axial inclination of teeth to face & cranium Law of canine 3. Median Sagittal plane or raphe for deviations in gen form & width of arches & axial inclination of teeth www.indiandentalacademy.com irt midline of palate & head
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Deviations • In Orbital plane Protractions Retractions In FH plane Attraction Abstraction In Mid Sagittal plane Contractions Distractions www.indiandentalacademy.com
Demerits • Cumbersome • Confusing at times eg .intrusion of max teeth extrusion of mand teeth • Little used

advantages • Differentiation is made betw. Ske. & dental problems • Teaches a perspective about complexities of malocclusions • Readily adaptable to compute processing • Demerits • etiology ? • Analysis is static , a functional analysis must still be made www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bennet ‘s classification • Based on etiology • 3 classes • Class I abnormal position of 1 or more teeth due to local causes Class II
Class III
abnormal formation of part / whole arch due to developmental defects abnormal relationship of arches arch & facial contour abnormal formation of arch www.indiandentalacademy.com
Skeletal classification • Class I , class II , class III • takes relationship of teeth also into consideration
Sk. Class I • Bones of face & jaws , harmony , & with head • Profile orthognathic 4 divisions Div 1. local malrelations of incisors , canine premolars Div 2 : max incisor protrusion Div 3: retroclined max incisors Div 4: bimax protrusion www.indiandentalacademy.com
Skeletal class 2 : sub normal distal mand development in relation to maxilla Max. arch narrower than mand Div 1 Crowding in canine region Cross bite Vertical ht Protrusion of max ant teeth Retrognathic profile Div 2 : lingual inclined max incisors laterals normal / labioversion Sk.
