- Objectives: As part in appraising the usefulness of the new bite-type method, a reliability assessment of the classification system was performed. Materials and Methods: Eighty-five selected dental casts were appraised by six operators and compared to a "Gold Standard." The reliability of the bite-type method was assessed by double registrations of each of the nine bite-type classes by every operator. Results: An overall acceptable bite-type classification of all examiners existed. Correct assessments were found in 75-90% of the dental casts. Thus, the bite-type classification is a reliable method for categorizing sagittal malocclusions. Conclusion: The procedure could favorably replace the angle classification as it is more precise and detailed, without losing the strength of the basic angle system as an uncomplicated communication tool.
