摘要：Background: Crossbite is a transverse plane malocclusion that can affect a single tooth or numerous teeth, be bilateral or unilateral, and be anterior or posterior. To evaluate the prevalence and associated factors for crossbites among subjects visiting private dental college. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out with case records of patients reporting to the OP department of saveetha dental college for orthodontic treatment. The data on age, gender, type of crossbite and the arch involved in crossbite of the patients was collected and statistical analysis was done. Using SPSS software, descriptive statistics and chi square test was done. Results: A total of 430 subjects with crossbites were involved in this study. 21% of the total patients had posterior crossbite whereas 79% of the patients had anterior cross bite. Chi square association between age and the type, number of teeth involved in crossbite was found to be not significant (p value >0.05) whereas association between age and the side of involvement was found to be significant (p value <0.05). A significant association between the gender and type and side of cross bite involved was noted (p value <0.05). Conclusion: Anterior crossbites with unilateral involvement were more common than posterior crossbites and adult males had a higher prevalence of cross bites than females.
