AIM: This study aims to assess the prevalence of malocclusion and facial symmetry in indigenous tribes: the narikurava.

The prevalence of malocclusion was assessed as normal occlusion, class 1, class 2 and class 3 occlusion, and facial symmetry was recorded along with facial aesthetic index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Descriptive statistics were calculated for all the variables recorded in our study, and chi-square test was done to find the association between the gender and facial aesthetic index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the indigenous tribes, 33.9% had normal occlusion, 31.4% had class 1 occlusion, 14.9% had class 2 div 1 occlusion, 9.1% had class 2 div 2 occlusion, and 10.7% had class 3 occlusion.
