Abstract		The research was a crossectional study with the aim to estimate the reliability of the numerical assessment of malocclusion, based on intraoral measurements of ten morphological signs of malocclusion. A numerical assessment of malocclusion on a sample of 101 eight-year children was made according to measurements of morphological signs of malocclusion take intraorally and on a model. For the determination of statistically significant differences t-test was used, reliability of measurements was tested with correlation method and the significance of each morphological sign was checked with multiple regression step by step. It was established that there were no statistically significant differences between morphological signs of malocclusion measured intraorally or measured on models. With t-test and the correlation method it was ascertained that the two measurements did not differ significanlty. With the statistical method of multiple regression step by step the hierarchic order of significant morphological signs of malocclusion by either measurement was established. By either measurement we got the following order: the first three were open bite, cross bite and overjet, and the last two were overbite and acial inclination of teeth. In intraoral measurement open bite accounts for 40 per cent, cross bite for 35 per cent, overjet for 7,5 per cent, crowding of incisors in the upper jaw 3,5 per cent, axial inclination of teeth for 2,9 per cent and oveorbite for 0,065 per cent of the whole malocclusion. These five significant morphological signs account for 93 per cent of the entir e pathology, represented by malocclusion. According to findings we propose a rationalisation of the modified Eismann's method of numerical assessment of malocclusion. Instead of evaluating measurements of ten morphological signs, taken on a model, the assessment of malocclusion could be based only on five morphological signs, measured intraorally.(trunc.)
