Lischer’s Modifications of Angle’s ClassificationLischer substituted the term Class I, II and III given by Angle with the terms of neutrocclusion, distocclusion and mesiocclusion. In addition to these, he added a few more terms, which designated certain other malocclusions.
Neutrocclusion: Synonymous with Angle’s Class I malocclusion Distocclusion: Synonymous with Angle’s Class II malocclusion Mesiocclusion: Synonymous with Angle’s Class III malocclusion Buccocclusion: Buccal placement of a totth or a group of teeth Linguocclusion: Lingual placement of a tooth or a group of teeth Supraocclusion: When a tooth or group of teeth have erupted beyond normal
level Infraocclusion: When a tooth or group of teeth have not erupted to normal level Mesioversion: Mesial to the normal position Distoversion: Distal to the normal position Transversion: Transposition of two teeth Axiversion: Abnormal axial inclination of a tooth Torsiversion: Rotation of a tooth around its long axis
Simon’s Classification Malocclusion can occur in antero-posterior, tranverse and in the vertical planes.
Simon had put forward a craniometric classification of malocclusion that related the dental arches in all these 3 planes.
Simon’s system of classification made use of 3 anthropometric planes i.e., the Frankfort horizontal plane, the orbital plane and the mid-sagittal plane.
The classification of malocclusion was based on abnormal deviations of the dental arches from their normal position in relation to these 3 planes.
Frankfort Horizontal Plane This is a plane that connects the upper margin of the external auditory meatus to
the infraorbital margin. This plane is used to classify malocclusion ins a vertical plane. Two terms are
used to describe any abnormal relation of the teeth to this plane. When the dental arch / part of it is closer than normal to the Frankfort plane, it is
called attraction. When the dental arch or part of it is farther away from the Frankfort horizontal
plane, it is called abstraction.
Orbital Plane This plane is perpendicular to the Frankfort horizontal plane, dropped down from
the bony orbital margin directly under the pupil of the eye. According to Simon, this plane should pass through the distal 3rd of the upper
canine. This is called Simon’s Law of Canine. This plane is used to describe malocclusion in a sagittal or antero-posterior
direction. When the dental arch / part of it is farther from the orbital plane, it is called
protraction. When the arch or part of it is closer or more posteriorly placed in relation to this
plane, it is called retraction.
Mid-sagittal Plane The midsagittal plane is used to describe malocclusion in the transverse direction. When a part of whole of the arch is away from the mid-sagittal plane it is called
distraction. When the arch or part of it is closer to the mid-sagittal plane it is called
contraction.
Bennet’s ClassificationNorman Bennet classified malocclusion based on its etiology
Class I – Abnormal position of one or more teeth due to local causes
Class II – Abnormal formation of a part of or whole of either arch due to developmental defects of bone
Class III – Abnormal relationship between upper and lower arches, and between either arch an dfacial contour and correlated abnormal formation of either arch.
Ackerman-Profitt System of ClassificationAckerman and Profitt in 1960 proposed a diagrammatic classification of malocclusion to overcome the limitations of the Angel’s classification. Salient features of the classification include:
Transverse as well as vertical discrepancies can be considered in addition to anteroposterior malrelations
Crowding and arch asymmetry can be evaluated Incisor protrusion is taken into account.
This system of classification is based on the Venn symbolic diagram that identifies fibe major characteristics to be considered and described in the classification.
Step 1 (Alignment)The first step involves assessment of the alignment and asymmetry of the dental arch. It is classified as ideal / crowded / spaced.
Step 2 (Profile)It involves the consideration of the profile. The profile is described as convex / straight / concave. The facial divergence is also considered i.e., anterior or posterior divergence.
Step 3 (Type)The transverse skeletal and dental relationship is evaluated. Buccal and palatal crossbites if any are noted. The crossbite is further subclassified as unilateral or bilateral. In addition, differentiation is made between skeletal and dental crossbite.
Step 4 (Class)This involves the assessment of the sagittal relationship. It is classified as Angle’s Class I / Class II / Class III malocclusion. Differentiation is made between skeletal an dental malocclusion.
Step 5 (Bite depth)Malocclusions in the vertical plane are noted. They are described as anterior or posterior open bit, anterior deep bite or posterior collapsed bite. A mention is made whether the malocclusion is skeletal or dental.
