Dental caries is another most common condition affecting the general health. However, its association with malocclusion in mixed dentition is not well known.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n AIM:<\/jats:title>\n The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence of malocclusion and its association with caries experience in 8\u20139-year-old children of Davangere city, South Indian region.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n SETTING AND DESIGN:<\/jats:title>\n The study design was a cross-sectional survey.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 800 children from 350 schools (both males and females) were randomly selected for the study.\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n The overall prevalence of malocclusion among 8\u20139-year-old children was 40.9%. The most prevalent malocclusion was crowding (11.5%), followed by excessive overjet (9.4%), deep bite (6.8%), spacing (6.5%), crossbite (4.5%), and open bite (3.2%). Class I molar relationship prevailed in 95.5% of children.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n The prevalence of malocclusion in our study was in accordance with the other studies reported in India, which ranged from 19.6% to 90%. Furthermore, correlation of malocclusion and dental caries in the primary dentition, although nonsignificant, presented children with malocclusion to have a higher caries experience than children without malocclusion.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jehp.jehp_24_17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,1]],"date-time":"2017-12-01T07:14:32Z","timestamp":1512112472000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Malocclusion and dental caries experience among 8\u20139-year-old children in a city of South Indian region: A cross-sectional survey"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Patil","family":"Disha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, Vivekanandha Dental College for Women, Tiruchengode, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Poornima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, College of Dental Sciences, Davangere, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suryakanth M.","family":"Pai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, College of Dental Sciences, Davangere, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.
