INTRODUCTION
FUNDAMENTAL TO UNDERSTANDING MALOCCLUSION IS THE
CONCEPT OF `NORMAL OCCLUSION`.
JOHN HUNTER
WAS THE FIRST TO DESCRIBE ABOUT NORMAL OCCLUSION.

ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-INTRODUCTION
• Etiology of malocclusion is the study of its causes.
• Recognition and elimination of the etiological factors is
important so that one can prevent and correct the
malocclusion and obtain a permanent result.
• Traditionally, any deviation from "ideal occlusion" has
represented what Guilford termed mal-occlusion. of
course, ideal occlusion rarely exists in nature and so perhaps it
is better to call this concept the "imaginary ideal"

ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-INTRODUCTION
MALOCCLUSION
“An occlusion in which there is mal-relationship between the
arches in any of the planes of space or in which there are
anomalies in tooth position beyond the limits of normal”
Sameul S. Flitch was the first to classify malocclusion.

1. PRE-NATAL FACTORS
• Fetus is well protected against injuries & nutritional def during pregnancy
• But there are certain factors, presence of which can result in abnormal
growth of oro-facial region thereby predisposing to malocclusion
Pressure against rapidly growing areas leads to distortion
Arm pressed against the face- maxillary deficiency
Head flexed against the chest- Mandibular deficiency.
Decreased amniotic fluid- small mandible
Cleft palate results due to upward displacement of tongue.
Growth catches-up when pressure is released except when cartilage
is affected- Stickler syndrome
Thalidomide – gross congenital deformities including cleft

2. POST-NATAL FACTORS
 Birth injuries
i. Trauma to mandible
Most mandibular deformities-due to congenital anomalies-but thought to be
due to birth trauma.
ii. Forceps delivery–TMJ damage.
iii. Ankylosis: develop ankylosis of TMJ, may be due to birth injury.
iv. A high incidence of cross-bite is seen in a group of children who were born
with forceps delivery.
v. An increased asymmetric molar occlusion was observed with traumatic breech
delivery.

ENVIRONMENT
vi. A tendency for abnormal dental arch dimension, larger height of the maxilla
and greater length of the mandibular arch was observed to occur as a result of
forceps delivery.
vii. Palatal grooves and cleft formation:
A prolonged oro-tracheal intubation of pre term infants is seen to be
associated with airway damage, palatal groove formation, defective primary
incisors and an acquired cleft palate.
viii. Delayed eruption of primary teeth:
Viscardi (1994) found that first primary teeth eruption at the usual chronologic
age in healthy premature infants, but eruption may be delayed in premature
infants who require a prolonged mechanical ventilation for neonatal illness/or
who experience inadequate nutrition

DIETARY PROBLEMS
NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY
• Disturbances in the developmental timetable.
• Rickets, scurvy and beri-beri can produce severe malocclusions.
• Premature loss of teeth/Prolonged retention.
• Abnormal eruptive path.

EQUILIBRIUM THEORY
• If an object is acted upon by a set of forces but remains in the same
position, then the forces must be in balance.
• Dentition is in equilibrium.
• Movement occurs when equilibrium is disturbed.
4 PRIMARY FACTORS IN EQUILIBRIUM:
1.Intrinsic forces of tongue and lips.
2.Extrinsic forces- habits & orthodontic appliances.
3.Forces from dental occlusion.
4.Forces from periodontal membrane

POSTURE
 Frequently suggested that poor posture can lead to malocclusion.
 Stooping with chin on the chest- mandibular retrusion.
 Child resting head on hand or sleeping on arm or fist- possible
development of malocclusion.
 May accentuate existing malocclusion.

GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
44
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
ANOMALIES IN NUMBER OF TEETH:
In order to achieve good occlusion, normal number of teeth should be
present. Presence of extra teeth or absence of one or more teeth
predisposes to malocclusion.
Heredity plays a strong part in anomalies in number of teeth.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
45
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
SUPERNUMERARY TEETH:
 Teeth that are extra to the normal
complement are termed supernumerary teeth.
 These teeth have abnormal morphology and do not resemble normal teeth.
Extra teeth that resemble normal teeth are called supplemental
They result from disturbances during the initiation and proliferation stages of
dental development.
no definitive time when supernumerary teeth may develop.
may form prior to birth or as late as 10- 12 years of age.
usually develop from a 3rd tooth bud arising from the dental lamina near the
permanent tooth bud teeth.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
46
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
Supernumerary teeth can cause:
1. Non-eruption of adjacent teeth
2. Delay the eruption of adjacent teeth
3. Deflect the erupting teeth into abnormal locations
4. Crowding in the dental arches.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
47
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
ANOMALIES OF TOOTH SIZE:
 There should be harmony between the tooth size and the arch
length, and also between the maxillary and mandibular tooth size, in order to
have normal occlusion.
An increase in size of teeth results in crowding while, smaller sized teeth
predispose to spacing.
 Anomalies of size of teeth can be of 2 types:
1.Microdontia
2. Macrodontia
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
48
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
ANOMALIES OF TOOTH SHAPE:
Anomalies of tooth size and shape are often interrelated. Abnormally shaped
teeth predispose to malocclusion.
Anomalies of tooth shape include:
1. The presence of peg shaped maxillary lateral incisors is often accompanied
by spacing and migration of teeth.
2. Abnormally large cingulum on maxillary incisors-
Prevent establishment of normal overbite and Overjet. The involved tooth is
usually in labio-version due to the forces of occlusion.
3. Additional lingual cusp of mandibular 2nd premolars-Increase the mesio-
distal dimension of tooth

6. Congenital syphilis –
It is often associated with hypoplasia of maxillary and mandibular anteriors.
Characteristics of congenital syphilis are “Hutchinson’s incisors” and “mulberry
molars”.

LOCAL FACTORS
7. Dilaceration –
Dilacerated tooth often fails to erupt to
proper level and can thus interfere with
normal occlusion. They may also
complicate extraction of teeth and may
interfere with tooth movement and
alignment.

8. Dens evaginatus –
A developmental condition that appears
clinically as an accessory cusp or a globule of
enamel on the occlusal surface between the
buccal and lingual cusps mainly of premolars.
It may result in incomplete
eruption, displacement of teeth and may
interfere with normal occlusion.

ABNORMAL LABIAL FRENUM:
shows spacing between the maxillary central incisors due to presence of the
fibrous tissue ,labial frenum.

54
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
PREMATURE LOSS OF DECIDUOUS TEETH:
Specifically, it refers to the stage of development of the permanent tooth that will succeed
the lost primary tooth.
Premature loss can occur due to:
1. Caries
2. Trauma
3. Endocrinal disturbances like hyperthyroidism
4. Metabolic disturbances like hypophosphotasia
When a primary tooth is lost before the permanent successor has started to erupt, bone may
reform atop the permanent tooth, delaying its eruption. When its eruption is
delayed, more time is available for other teeth to drift into space that would have been
occupied by the permanent tooth.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
55
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
PROLONGED RETENTION OF DECIDUOUS TEETH
Can occur because of :-
1. Absence of underlying permanent teeth
2. Endocrinal disturbances such as hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism
3. Ankylosed deciduous teeth that fail to resorb
4. Malposition of erupting permanent teeth
Prolonged retention of deciduous anteriors usually results in lingual or palatal
eruption of their permanent successor
Prolonged retention of buccal teeth results in eruption of the permanent teeth
either buccally or lingually or may remain impacted within the jaws.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
56
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
DELAYED ERUPTION OF PERMANENT TEETH
Probable causes for delayed eruption of permanent teeth :-
1. Early loss of a primary tooth might cause formation of a bony crypt over the
succedaneous tooth.
2. Presence of supernumerary tooth can block the eruption of permanent tooth.
3. Presence of a heavy mucosal barrier can prevent the permanent tooth from
emerging into the oral cavity.
4. Presence of odontomas or other cysts and tumors might prevent the permanent
tooth from erupting.
5. Presence of deciduous root fragments that have not resorbed may block the
erupting permanent tooth.
6. Presence of ankylosed deciduous teeth may cause delay in eruption of permanent
teeth.
7. Congenital absence of permanent teeth
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
57
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
ABNORMAL ERUPTIVE PATH:
This is usually a secondary manifestation of a primary disturbance.
Some causes of abnormal eruptive pathway are:
1. In cases of arch length deficiency, deflection of the erupting tooth may be merely an
adaptive response to the condition present.
2. Presence of supernumerary teeth, retained deciduous teeth, root fragments, bony
barrier or mucosal barrier may result in abnormal eruptive pathway.
3. Traumatic displacement of tooth buds–
A deciduous tooth may be driven into the alveolar process, and though it may
erupt later, it may displace the developing successor in an abnormal direction.
4. 1st and 2nd permanent molars are occasionally impacted; 3rd are frequently impacted by
an abnormal path of eruption.
5. Coronal cysts can also cause abnormal eruptive paths.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
58
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
ANKYLOSIS:
Ankylosis is encountered relatively frequently during the 6 –12 year age period. It may
result due to an injury of some sort as a result of which a part of the periodontal membrane
is perforated and a bony “bridge” forms joining the lamina dura and cementum. The
“bridge” need not be large to stop the
normal eruptive force of a tooth. The
most commonly affected tooth is
mandibular 2nd deciduous molar.
Accidents or trauma, infections, certain
congenital disorders like cleidocranial
dysostosis predispose to ankylosis of
teeth.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
59
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
DENTAL CARIES:
Caries can lead to premature loss of deciduous
or permanent teeth thereby causing migration of
contiguous teeth, abnormal axial inclination and
supra-eruption of opposing teeth.
Proximal caries that has not been restored can
cause migration of adjacent teeth into the space
leading to a reduction in arch length.
A substantial reduction in arch length can be
expected if several adjacent teeth involved by
proximal caries are left un-restored.
GRABER’S CLASSIFICATION
60
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
LOCAL FACTORS
IMPROPER DENTAL RESTORATIONS:
Malocclusion can be caused due to improper dental restorations.
Undercontoured proximal restorations result in loss of arch length due to drifting
of adjacent teeth to occupy the space.
Overcontoured proximal restorations might bulge into the space to be occupied
by a succedaneous tooth and result in a reduction in this space.
Overhang or poor proximal contacts may predispose to periodontal breakdown
around these teeth.
Premature contacts on an overcontoured occlusal restoration can cause a
functional shift of the mandible during jaw closure, whereas, under- contoured
occlusal restorations can lead to the supra-eruption of the opposing teeth.
CONCLUSION
61
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
No longer can conscientious orthodontists look at a child’s
mouth, observe a space deficiency and then attribute it to the premature loss of
teeth or prolonged retention of teeth. In the past, local “causes” were stressed but
today we know the importance of general factors in etiology of malocclusion along
with the local causes.
Knowledge·of the contribution of genetic and environmental causes of
malocclusion obligates clinicians to differentiate between patients whose
malocclusions are primarily of genetic origin from patients whose malocclusions
are primarily of environmental origin.
Abnormal morphologic structures in the face and dentition that have a
high degree of heritability require different treatment approaches from those
structures that are influenced primarily by environmental factors.
CONCLUSION
62
ETIOLOGYOFMALOCCLUSION-C.OFETIOM/O.
For most patients the differentiation between genetic and local
environmental factors is of great importance when choosing the appropriate
treatment and retention plans.
Retention of a treated malocclusion is a challenge because the genetic
and environmental etiologic factors responsible for the malocclusion may continue
to draw the treated teeth back into malocclusion.(AJO 81,82,83,84,85)
Stability of treated malocclusions appears to be similar in growing and
adult patients.(AJO 94)
Addressing known etiologic factors during treatment can produce more
stable occlusions after treatment.
Prevention of genetic causes for malocclusion is not possible at this time.
In contrast, the prevention of environmental causes holds much promise.
