This study found that 78% of 100 healthy children with primary teeth had malocclusions. Increased horizontal overbite was the most common type, alongside anterior open bites.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Epidemiology

Context:

  • Assessing malocclusion prevalence in children is crucial for early orthodontic intervention.
  • Understanding the common types of malocclusion provides a baseline for epidemiological studies.
  • Primary dentition stage is a critical period for identifying and managing dental anomalies.

Purpose:

  • To determine the frequency and types of malocclusions in a cohort of 100 healthy children with complete primary dentition.
  • To establish a baseline for malocclusion prevalence using Bjork's epidemiological registration method.
  • To identify the most prevalent malocclusion types within this specific pediatric population.

Summary:

  • 78% of the 100 healthy children examined presented with at least one type of malocclusion.

  • Increased horizontal overbite was identified as the most frequent malocclusion.
  • Anterior open bite and increased overbite were also commonly observed in the vertical dimension.

    • Impact:

    • Provides valuable epidemiological data on malocclusion in primary dentition.
    • Highlights the high prevalence of malocclusion, emphasizing the need for early screening.
    • Informs dental professionals about common occlusal issues in young children, guiding preventive and interceptive strategies.
