In the differentiation of overbite, which factor is compared?

  1. Maxillary to mandibular incisor inclination

  2. Anterior to posterior dental height

  3. Mandibular curve of Spee to maxillary arch form

  4. Molar to incisor height ratio

The correct answer is: Mandibular curve of Spee to maxillary arch form

In the differentiation of overbite, the factor that is being compared is the Mandibular curve of Spee to the maxillary arch form. The other options are not directly related to the overbite and do not involve a comparison between two different factors. Option A compares the inclination of two specific teeth, option B compares the height of the teeth in the front and back of the mouth, and option D compares the heights of two specific types of teeth. These factors may influence the overbite, but they are not what is being directly compared in this instance.
