tong-like bite

November 28th, 2009 by admin

The second variant is called the tong-like bite (labidodontia). In this bite the cutting edges of the upper anterior teeth meet the cutting edges of the lower anterior teeth. It is encountered much less frequently than the bite of the first type; it mostly occurs in childhood (in attrition of the teeth) and in the elderly.

            Pathological bites.

1.      Hiatodontia, gap-like (hiatus gap, cleft), a gap remains between the upper and lower anterior teeth.

2.      Stegodontia, roof-like (Gk stegos roof), the upper incisors protrude forward and coverthe lower incisors like the slope of a roof.Medical coding training india teaches you.
