Opis

Deep bite is a malocclusion that occurs in the vertical plane. Some degree(1-2mm) of vertical overlapping or overbite is present in human dentition. However, patients with excessive overbite are termed as deep bite or deep overbite. A successful treatment of deep bite requires a careful analysis of the etiology, detailed clinical examination of the dentition, occlusion, jaw movements and soft tissue pattern of the face. Along with these, study models, cephalograms and photographs must be taken to study the skeletal, dental and soft tissue relationship and growth pattern and its status.Deep overbite can be corrected by many ways like intrusion of anteriors, extrusion of posteriors, combination of anterior intrusion and posterior extrusion, proclination of anteriors or surgically. However, it should be decided which method will be more beneficial or which will improve the patients esthetic appearance, stability of the occlusion and functional efficacy. This book includes in detail the features, diagnosis and management of deepbite.
