This study found that larger tongue size is significantly associated with openbite dental malocclusion. These findings suggest tongue dimensions may play a role in the development of openbite.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Openbite is a type of malocclusion characterized by a lack of vertical overlap between the incisal edges of the anterior teeth.
  • The etiology of openbite is multifactorial, involving genetic, environmental, and functional factors.
  • The role of tongue size and its potential influence on dental arch development and occlusion remains an area of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the correlation between tongue size and the presence of openbite.
  • To compare tongue dimensions in individuals with openbite versus those with normal occlusion.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized B-type ultrasonic imaging to measure tongue size in two groups of subjects.
  • The study included patients diagnosed with openbite and a control group with normal occlusion.

  • Statistical analysis was performed to compare the measured tongue sizes between the groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Tongue size was found to be significantly larger in the openbite patient group compared to the normal occlusion group.
    • The observed difference in tongue size between the two groups was statistically significant, indicating a reliable association.

    Conclusions:

    • Tongue size is demonstrably related to the occurrence of openbite.
    • These findings suggest that macroglossia (enlarged tongue) may be a contributing factor in the development or manifestation of openbite.
