title: Overbite values in Nigerian children.
abstract: Overbite values in 650 Nigerian children aged 11-13 years have been measured using the Jackson method of overbite classification. The commonest overbite value in Nigerian children is 1 with a prevalence of 75.3 per cent which is followed by overbite 2 with a prevalence of 16.3 per cent. The study showed that Nigerians have a lesser overbite value compared with Caucasians.
