The results of this research evaluated the number, percentage for each type of molar occlusion and the malocclusion criteria. The using of two sided Z-test of twoproportions at (p<0.05) indicate that significant sex difference in CL IIb, CL II1,crowding and spacing and a non-significant difference in CL Ib, CLIu, CL II, CL II2, CL III, CLIV, crossbite and openbite.
