Abstrakt		Malocclusion assessment methods are based on registrations and measurements made on study casts, which requires that impressions be taken. In addition to being costly and time consuming, this process can be unpleasant for children and adolescents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of intraoral measurements that compute a malocclusion index score to determine malocclusion severity in the permanent dentition. The research was a part of the longitudinal study of 530 3-year-old children. In Slovenia at 14 years of age [mean = 14.8 years, standard deviation (SD) = 0.2], a cohort of 92 children (39 boys and 53 girls) were selected at random in a cross-sectional study. Quantitative registrations of space and occlusal anomalies were performed intraorally as well as on study casts. Kappa (x) statistics were used to evaluate agreement between clinical and study cast malocclusion assessment. Systematic bias of measurements was tested using Wilcoxon's signed-ranks test.
