Abstract
This study was aimed to provide an epidemiologic study so that we could accommadate their orthodontic needs adequately and to obtain the reliable quantitative information regarding the characteristics of orthodontic patients who visited the Department of pediatric dentistry, Chonnam National University Hospital from 1986 to 1999, October. The results were as follows. 1 The total number of orthodontic patients were 1,381(male 658, female 723) and the number of annual patients showed irregular trend and the number of male were slightly higher than that of female. 2. According to the investigation made by age group, the group of under 5 years, 6 to 7, 8 to 9, 10 to 11, 12 to 13 and above 14 years showed 8.4%, 29.6%, 34.3%, 21.2%, 5.7% and 0.8%, respectively. 3. The patients corresponding to primary dentition were 15.7% of total patients and mesial step, distal step and flush terminal plane were 83%, 4.6% and 12.4% respectively. By the way 82% of mesial step had anterior crossbite at the same time. 4. The patients corresponding to Angle classification were 84.3% of total patients and Class I malocclusion, Class II div. 1, Class II div. 2 and Class III was 34.7%, 34.6%, 2.1% and 28.6%, respectively.
