==Dental Malocclusion==
"Malocclusion" derives from the Latin 'malum' (bad) and 'occludere' (to close), literally meaning "incorrect closure" of the teeth.{{Tooltip|<sup>[17]</sup>|<ref>https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Angle</ref>|<small> 📌 Considered the father of modern orthodontics, Angle defined the first classification system for malocclusions (Class I, Class II, etc.), which is still used today to describe the alignment and relationship of teeth; he simplified the design of orthodontic appliances, founded the first school of orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists (later AAO), and the first orthodontic journal, and authored the fundamental work "Treatment of Malocclusion of the Teeth" (1887).</small>}} Although intuitive, the term “malocclusion” implies a value judgment (“bad”) that is not always supported by functional clinical evidence.

🧪 A PubMed search for the word "malocclusion" yields over 33,000 articles.{{Tooltip|<sup>[18]</sup>|<ref>Pubmed, ''[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=%22malocclusion%22 Malocclusion]''</ref>|<small>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term&#61;%22malocclusion%22</small>}} However, searching for “interdisciplinary diagnosis of malocclusion” reduces the results to 245 articles.{{Tooltip|<sup>[19]</sup>|<ref>Pubmed, ''[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=interdisciplinary+diagnostics+of+malocclusions Interdisciplinary diagnosis of malocclusions]''</ref>|3=<small>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=interdisciplinary+diagnostics+of+malocclusions</small>}} If 'Differential Diagnosis' is added to this request, the result drops to only 5 articles.{{Tooltip|<sup>[20]</sup>|<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=interdisciplinary+diagnostics+of+malocclusions+AND+differential+diagnosis</ref>|<small>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term&#61;interdisciplinary+diagnostics+of+malocclusions+AND+differential+diagnosis</small>}}

{{qnq|These data suggest that the concept of "malocclusion" has been overused without adequate functional investigation.}}

📌 A study by Smaglyuk et al. emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary diagnostic approach, especially in children.{{Tooltip|<sup>[21]</sup>|<ref>{{cita libro

}}</ref>|<small>📌 Introduction: The main task of modern orthodontics is to create a balanced and morphologically stable occlusion, in harmony with facial aesthetics and functional adaptation. 🧭 The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between dento-facial anomalies and somatic pathologies. Patients and methods: Materials and methods: A bibliographic study was conducted using the Medline and Google Scholar databases. 🧭 Review: The human body is a biological system consisting of interconnected and subordinate elements. Any anomaly in the functioning of this system can cause a functional alteration in a single organ. This principle fully applies to dento-facial anomalies and deformities, whose development is closely related to other pathologies. 🧠 The diagnosis, therapeutic strategy, and prevention of dento-facial anomalies and deformities should be considered in the context of the integrity of the not yet fully formed child's body, recognizing the interdependence between the form and functions of its organs and systems.</small>}}

{{q2|The diagnosis, therapeutic strategies, and prevention of dento-facial anomalies must consider the organism as a whole, especially in developing children.}}
