extraction. Ag
,Of the sample (26.14%) had normal occlusion, (6o)05%) had CL.l malocclusion
had CL.II malocelusion and (0.45%) who had CLIII malocclusion. The )%3,77(
differences in prevalence of maloeclusion was statistically significant between these
groups. On the other hand. This statistical difference was significant in eases with
extraction than those cases without extraction (P< 0.05). clearly, there is a need for
further epidemiologeal research aiming to increase the knowledge a bout the prevalence
