The study assessed number or remaining teeth and posterior (back) tooth loss in adults with anterior crossbite, anterior open bite and normal occlusion (bite). The study found that individuals with anterior crossbite, but not anterior open bite, were more likely to have 19 or fewer remaining teeth and more likely to have molar loss.
