INCISORCLASSIFICATION
BRITISHSLANDEREDINSTITUTECLASSIFICATION
Class I : the lower incisor edge occludes with or lie immediately
below the cingulumplateau of the upper central incisor
Class II: the lower incisor edge lie posterior to the cingulum
plateau of the upper central incisor
1.the upper central incisors are proclinedor of an average
inclination and there is an increased overjet
2.The upper central incisors are retroclined, the overjetin
usually minimum but may be increased
Class III: the lower incisor edge lie anterior to the cingulum
plateau of the upper central incisor. The overjetis reduced or
reversed
ANGLESCLASSIFICATION
According to Angle, themesiobuccal cuspof the upper first
molar should align with thebuccal grooveof the mandibular
first molar.
He based his classifications on the relative position of
themaxillary first molar
Class I: NeutrocclusionHere the molar
relationship of the occlusion is normal or as
described for the maxillary first molar, but the other
teeth have problems like spacing, crowding, over or
under eruption, etc.
Class II: Distocclusion(retrognathism,overjet) In
this situation, the upper molars are placed not in the
mesiobuccal groove but anteriorly to it. Usually the
mesiobuccal cusp rests in between the first
mandibular molars and second premolars. There
are two subtypes:
Class II Division 1:The molar relationships are like
that of Class II and the anterior teeth are protruded.
Class II Division 2:The molar relationships are class II
but the central are retroclined and the lateral teeth are
seen overlapping the centrals.
Class III: Mesiocclusion(prognathism,negative
overjet) In this case the upper molars are placed not
in the mesiobuccalgroove but posteriorly to it. The
mesiobuccalcusp of the maxillary first molar lies
posteriorly to the mesiobuccalgroove of the
mandibular first molar.
seen as when the lower front teeth are more
prominent than the upper front teeth.
In this case the patient very often has a large
mandible or a short maxillary bone.

Orthodontic Indices
•ICON -Index of Complexity,Outcome and Need
•IOTN -Index of Orthodontic treatment Need
•PAR -Peer Assessment Rating
IOTN
IOTN consists of two components:
1. Dental Health Component
2. Aesthetic Component

Recording the DHC
Examine each subject for:
•Missing teeth
•Overjets
•Crossbites
•Displacement of contact points
•Overbites
= MOCDO
Recording the DHC
•Examine the subject using the ‘MOCDO’ scale
•As soon as a definite treatment need threshold is
reached, then the examination is stopped
IOTN Ruler
Missing Teeth
•Congenital absence/traumatic loss
•Impacted teeth
•Ectopic teeth
Missing Teeth
•IMPACTED if 4mm or less space is
available between adjacent teeth &
tooth not erupted.
•Impacted = Need for Treatment
Overjet
•Measure to the labial aspect of the most
prominent incisor
•Only record Need for Treatment if the
overjet extends beyond the 6mm line
Reverse Overjet
•All four incisors must be in
lingual occlusion
Crossbites
•Can be anterior or posterior, but
mostly posterior
•If displacement on closure =
Need for Treatment
Displacement of contact points
•Only applies to crowding
between permanent teeth
•Measure between the contact
points of the two most
crowded teeth
Overbite
•Deep overbite
•Open bite
Deep Overbite
Definite Need for Treatment
When
Overbite causing gingival or
palatal trauma.

REVERSEPULLHEADGEAR
Facemask or reverse-pull headgear is
anorthodonticappliance typically used in growing
patients to correctunderbites(technically
termedClass-III orthodontic problems) by pulling
forward and assisting the growth of the upper jaw
(maxilla), allowing it tocatch upto the size of the
lower jaw (mandible)
