Abstract in English
Malocclusion is considered one of the most prevalent dental problems .This research aimed to study the prevalence of malocclusion states in the Syrian coast community.
The sample of study consists of 1200 patients in mixed dentition stage (569 males – 631 females) with mean age (8.65 ± 1.4 years for male, 8.64 ±1.36 years for females).
The study showed a prevalence of malocclusion in about 84.8% of the sample, with about 58.33% for vertical plane malocclusion and 84% for sagittal plane malocclusion, and 37.8% for transversal plane malocclusion.
We concluded that it is very important to improve the hygiene awareness between our community population for better prevention and treatment of these problems.
