Summary
This study investigated orthodontic and occlusive anomalies in children with primary and mixed dentition. Occlusive anomalies, particularly in sagittal, vertical, and sagittal-vertical planes, were most frequent in both dentition phases.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Pediatric Dentistry
Context:
- Investigated orthodontic and occlusive anomalies in Istria, Croatia.
- Examined 311 children with primary dentition and 535 with mixed dentition.
- Focused on space availability and premature tooth loss.
Purpose:
- To determine the frequency of orthodontic and occlusive anomalies.
- To analyze anomalies in relation to dentition phase (primary vs. mixed).
- To identify the most common types of occlusive anomalies.
Summary:
- Orthodontic anomalies affected 46.95% (primary) and 58.69% (mixed) dentition.
- Premature tooth loss occurred in 11.25% (primary) and 17.20% (mixed) dentition.
- Occlusive anomalies were present in 40.85% (primary) and 48.97% (mixed) dentition, predominantly sagittal, vertical, and sagittal-vertical.
Impact:
- Highlights the high prevalence of occlusive anomalies in developing dentition.
- Provides data for targeted orthodontic interventions in pediatric populations.
- Informs public health strategies for early detection and management of dental anomalies.
