- Abstract
Background: Deep bite is a malocclusion where the upper tooth excessively overlaps lower front teeth when the posterior are in occlusion. If the patient has a deep bite then tooth to tooth contact increases. This results in attrition which is the surface loss of tooth material due to internal forces mainly due to tooth to tooth contact. In deep bite as the tooth to tooth, contact increases the rate of attrition is comparatively higher than in normal occlusion. Aim: This study aims at analyzing the presence of occlusal wear in patients with a deep bite. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 101 patients. All the data acquired for the study like the type of malocclusion, presence of deep bite, presence of any occlusal wear facets in any of the teeth in both arch was obtained from the digital archives of Saveetha Dental College. The data was then computed in excel format and it was analyzed statistically with Chi-square analysis using SPSS software. Results: The occlusal wear was found more in patients with deep bite malocclusion Conclusion: Within the limits of the study occlusal wear of the teeth was more on patients with deep bite malocclusion.
