- Abstract
Aim: Purpose of this study was to clinically assess relationship between freeway space (FWS) and occlusal schemes, overjet, overbite and wear facets. Methodology: 60 subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria within the age range of 20-40 years were included in the study. Vertical dimension at rest (VDR) and occlusion (VDO) were measured with digital vernier calliper. Lateral occlusal scheme was examined intraorally. Overjet-overbite were measured at mandibular right central incisor on dental casts. Data were analysed statistically using chi square test (Χ²) and Pearson's correlation (r). Results: A significant association was observed between FWS and occlusal scheme. Group function occlusion was found in 18 out of 26 subjects with FWS<2mm, whereas canine guided occlusion was found in 20 out of 30 subjects with FWS of 2-4mm. A significant positive correlation was observed between FWS and anterior overjet. Presence of occlusal wear facets was found in 20 out of 26 subjects with FWS< 2mm whereas in subjects with FWS=2-4mm, 8 out of 30 subjects showed presence of occlusal wear facets. Conclusion: Group function occlusion scheme and an increase in occlusal wear facets were found more prevalent when FWS was less than 2mm. An increase in FWS resulted in an increase in overjet.
