    A standardized method for recording malocclusion was developed by the World Health Organization and International Dental Federation. This approach aids global prevalence assessment and orthodontic treatment needs evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Malocclusion assessment historically lacked standardization.
    • Global data on malocclusion prevalence was inconsistent.
    • Assessing orthodontic treatment needs required a unified approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a universally applicable method for recording malocclusion.
    • To establish a common basis for global malocclusion prevalence studies.
    • To support the development of orthodontic treatment need assessment tools.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a basic malocclusion recording system.
    • Joint effort by the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Dental Federation (IDF).
    • Field-testing conducted between 1969 and 1978.

    Main Results:

    • A standardized malocclusion recording method was established.
    • The method provides a common basis for epidemiological research.
    • Facilitates consistent assessment of malocclusion prevalence worldwide.

    Conclusions:

    • The WHO/IDF method offers a foundational tool for malocclusion recording.
    • Enables consistent global data collection on malocclusion.
    • Supports informed public health strategies and orthodontic care planning.
