Abstract:The occlusal traits of Class II occlusion in the deciduous dentition include distal terminal plane of the second deciduous molars, distal canine relation, large overjet, and large overbite. Other findings are narrow upper dental arch and maxillary base and poor anterior spacing. Skeletally, Class II children differ less from normal children. The cranial base, including the base flexure, and the maxilla are normal. The mandibular corpus and lower facial height are short, the gonial angle is large, and the dentoalveolar position of the mandible is retruded. The height of the ramus is normal, as is the skeletal position of the mandible, with the exception of the chin, which becomes slightly retruded after 5 years of age. As most skeletal traits of Class II occlusion develop later than the occlusal characteristics, it is suggested that no evidence can be found for a skeletal Class II growth pattern in the deciduous dentition. The deficient transversal growth of the maxilla and the sagittal growth of the mandible seem to cause the typical Class II occlusion. Further skeletal changes are likely to develop as secondary adaptations.
