Dentição decídua: estudo da prevalência dos espaços interproximais em crianças brasileiras

Abstract: No intuito de conhecer mais sobre as características da dentição decídua, apresentadas pelas crianças brasileiras, realizou-se um estudo de prevalência do qual participaram 400 crianças, com dentição decídua completa e idade variando de 2 a 6 anos, na cidade de Petrópolis - RJ. O arco tipo I foi o mais prevalente tanto no arco superior (93,2%) como no inferior (90,5%), sendo que o superior tipo II foi mais comum no sexo feminino (p < 0,01). Os espaços primatas foram os espaços interproximais mais encontrado… Show more

“…Children with a Baume type II upper arch were more vulnerable to developing ECC (Table 3), a result corroborated by Soviero et al [23]. The absence of interdental spacing makes it difficult to brush, and consequently, dental plaque is retained [24].…”

“…A Brazilian study revealed a significant decrease in the number of children with interproximal spacing with the increase in age, suggesting a tendency to space closure. 23 Other study evidenced a significantly reduced frequency of primate spaces at the age range from 4 to 6 years (p<0.05), in comparison to the group of children aged 2 to incomplete 4 years. 6 An author mentioned that the prevalence of crowding in the anterior region increased with age both in Caucasian children (3-4 years: 5%; 5-6 years: 16%) and those of African descent (3-4 years: 5%; 5-6 years: 9%).…”

“…If the frequency of the exclusive presence of primate spaces is combined to the values obtained for the prevalence of generalized spacing, it may be assumed that the present results agree with several studies that reported prevalence of primate spaces in more than 60% of the samples. 1,3,6,13,17,19,23 The explanation would lie in the combination of percentage values. The results of this investigation are corroborated by two studies 8,9 conducted in different countries, which used a similar classification for the diagnosis and observed higher percentage values of this characteristic in the maxillary arch.…”
