Summary
This study explores anterior open bites, a vertical abnormality. It reviews causes, treatments, and proposes a classification with case examples.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Craniomaxillofacial Surgery
Context:
- Vertical abnormalities in occlusion are a significant concern.
- Anterior open bites present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
- Understanding the etiology and treatment of anterior open bites is crucial for effective management.
Purpose:
- To establish the concept of anterior open bites.
- To conduct a comprehensive literature review on the etiology and treatment of anterior open bites.
- To propose a novel classification system for anterior open bites.
- To present illustrative case reports detailing the management of anterior open bites.
Summary:
- The study defines anterior open bites, a type of vertical dental abnormality.
- A thorough review of existing literature on the causes and treatment modalities for anterior open bites was performed.
- A new classification system for anterior open bites is introduced.
- Three clinical cases are presented to demonstrate the application of the proposed classification and treatment approaches.
Impact:

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
