Stomatological morbidity study - Berlin 1972. Part III. The frequency of dysgnathias and their symptoms in subjects of an epidemiologic-stomatological study. In the course of a stomatological morbidity study which was performed in Berlin in 1972, the authors investigated the dental conditions of 657 subjects, having an age range from 18 to 30 years. Only 15.2% of the persons under investigation had an eugnathic dentition. Almost 85% of the individuals showed dysgnathias. Apart from the frequency of certain tooth malalignments and malocclusions, associated symptoms were recorded. 15.5 of the subjects under investigation said that they had had orthodontic treatment. Significant differences were found in comparing the results obtained from treated individuals with those from untreated subjects.
