“…23 On the other hand, a study 8 carried out in Recife, Northeastern Brazil, also detected higher prevalence (36.4%). Prevalence of posterior cross bite was 18.2%, which is higher than that found in the Italian study (7%), 23 and in the other Brazilian study (12.1%).…”

“…There are few multidimensional studies 8,12,19 on the etiology of malocclusion, and the majority of these 8,19 analyze the risk factors separately, without measuring concurrent impact or assessing potential interactions. Indeed, there are no previous studies in Brazil that follow a procedure similar to that employed in the present study.…”

“…Prevalence of posterior cross bite was 18.2%, which is higher than that found in the Italian study (7%), 23 and in the other Brazilian study (12.1%). 8 These differences may be attributed, in part, to the use of different diagnostic criteria, as well as to the differences as to the age ranges studied, which can infl uence the prevalence these outcomes. For example, samples with different ages may bias results, since prevalence of anterior open bite and posterior cross bite tend to be higher in younger children than in six-year-olds, whose primary dentition is complete.…”

“…The sample size required to test the association between breastfeeding and malocclusion was estimated for an exposure defi ned as duration of breastfeeding < 9 months. Considering the detection of relative risks of at least 1.9 for anterior open bite and 2.5 for posterior cross bite, with respective prevalences of 54% and 20% in children breastfed for less than nine months (exposed), 8 a sample of 342 children was needed to provide 80% power at a signifi cance level of 5%.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of malocclusion and to examine the effects of breastfeeding and non-nutritive sucking habits on dentition in six-year-old children. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was carried out nested into a birth cohort conducted in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, in 1999. A sample of 359 children was dentally examined and their mothers interviewed. Anterior open bite and posterior cross bite were recorded using the Foster & Hamilton criteria. Information regarding breastfeeding and non-nutritive sucking habits was collected at birth, in the fi rst, third, sixth and 12 th months of life, and at six years of age. Control variables included maternal schooling and child's birthweight, cephalic perimeter, and sex. Data were analyzed by Poisson regression. RESULTS:Prevalence of anterior open bite was 46.2%, and that of posterior cross bite was 18.2%. Non-nutritive sucking habits between 12 months and four years of age and digital sucking at age six years were the main risk factors for anterior open bite. Breastfeeding for less than nine months and regular use of pacifi er between age 12 months and four years were risk factors for posterior cross bite. Interaction between duration of breastfeeding and the use of pacifi er was identifi ed for posterior cross bite. CONCLUSIONS:Given that breastfeeding is a protective factor for other diseases of infancy, our fi ndings indicate that the common risks approach is the most appropriate for the prevention of posterior cross bite in primary or initial mixed dentition.

“…3,4 Genetic factors, ethnic factors, nonnutritive sucking habits, impaired nasal breathing and functional atrophy of the maxilla due to the underdevelopment of dental arches are frequently associated with malocclusion. [5][6][7][8] Few epidemiological surveys have addressed the primary dentition and even fewer studies have associated malocclusion with socioeconomic indicators. Investigations of this type are important for the allocation of public funds for health services.…”

The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of malocclusion and associations with socioeconomic indicators among preschoolers. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 732 children 3 to 5 years of age in the city of Campina Grande, Brazil. Three dentists underwent a calibration exercise (K = 0.85-0.90) and diagnosed malocclusion based on the criteria proposed by Foster & Hamilton and Grabowski et al. Parents/guardians answered a questionnaire addressing sociodemographic aspects. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and bivariate Poisson regression (PR; α = 5%). The prevalence of malocclusion was 62.4%. The most frequent types were increased overjet (42.6%), anterior open bite (21%) and deep overbite (19.3%). An association was found between malocclusion and age: the prevalence of malocclusion was greater among younger children, with the highest prevalence among 3-year-olds (PR = 1.116; 95%CI = 1.049-1.187). The prevalence of malocclusion was high. Mother's schooling and household income were not associated with malocclusion. Socioeconomic factors were also not associated with the occurrence of malocclusion.
