ABSTRACT

Objectives: The Objective Of This Study Was To Determine The Prevalence Of Anterior Open Bite (AOB) In A Group Of Egyptian Children Methods: The Sample Comprised 115 Participant Aged Between 8 And 10 Years From The Outpatients? Clinic Of Pediatric Dentistry And Dental Public Health Department, Faculty Of Dentistry, Cairo University. Anterior Open Bite Was Assessed.

Results: The Results Showed That 71.2% Had Normal Overbite, 7.8% Had Increased Overbite. Overjet Relationship Was Increased In 44.4%. When Data Were Statistically Analyzed, It Was Evident That There Was No Statistical Significantdifference (P-value > 0.05) In Mean (AOB) Between Boys And Girls Throughout The Whole Study Period.

Conclusions: There Was A Slight Difference Of AOB Between Boys And Girls Where It Was Slight Higher In Girls. There Is No Correlation Between Gender And The Presence Of AOB.KEYWORDS: Malocclusion, Open Bite, Overjet, Overbite.
