Certain features of malocclusion considered important in relation to periodontal health were analyzed in a study of 300 subjects. It was found that plaque and gingival inflammation were not related to vertical incisor overbite, horizontal incisor overjet or posterior cuspal interdigitation. Individual tooth irregularity measured as tilting, rotation, displacement and crowding had a low but statistically significant correlation with plaque, calculus and gingival inflammation. However, the study showed that these features of malocclusion are far less important than the extent of plaque and calculus deposits in the development of gingival inflammation.
在一项针对300名受试者的研究中，分析了与牙周健康相关的某些错牙合特征。结果发现，菌斑和牙龈炎症与垂直方向的切牙覆牙合、水平方向的切牙覆盖或后牙尖交错并无关联。以倾斜、旋转、移位和拥挤来衡量的个别牙齿不整齐与菌斑、牙石和牙龈炎症存在低但具有统计学意义的相关性。然而，该研究表明，在牙龈炎症的发展过程中，这些错牙合特征远不如菌斑和牙石沉积的程度重要。
