| Sumario: | Malocclusions are the result of functional and morphological abnormalities. In the 20th century, Angle proposed a classification that helped to systematically classify malocclusions and thus make the correct diagnosis and treatment. Dental crowding is the mismatch between the available space of the bone bases and the size of each dental organ. This study aimed to evaluate the association that may exist between skeletal class I and class II malocclusions in relation to the severity of crowding. A convenience sample of 50 class I cases and 50 class II cases was selected. The skeletal class was obtained from the ANB angle. Each skeletal class was divided into 3 groups. The data obtained were analyzed using the X2 test, Student's t-test and ANOVA in the Statcalc program. When comparing the average crowding among the class I groups, no statistically significant differences were found in the maxilla and mandible. Similarly, in class II malocclusion, no statistically significant differences were found in the maxilla or mandible. The study found that, in both class I and class II, the wider the ANB angle the more severe the crowding. In conclusion, the severity of skeletal class is related to the severity of crowding. |
