“…According to Bishara et al, 1 an understanding of the anteroposterior changes that occur in the occlusion between the deciduous and permanent dentition is crucial for the clinician involved in early orthodontic treatment. While there are studies from other parts of the globe in relation to growth and development of the occlusion, [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] there is no such report so far from Nigeria.…”

Objective: To evaluate longitudinally the occlusal changes between the deciduous and early mixed dentition stages in Nigerian children. Materials and Methods:The occlusion of 145 3-to 5-year-old children was initially assessed at a popular pre-primary school center in Ibadan, Nigeria in October 2002, using the Foster and Hamilton criteria. The same group of children was followed up for reexamination in October 2006 in the primary school section of the center. Of 61 students who were located and reexamined, 54 (26 male and 28 female) qualified for the study. The molar relationship was assessed using Angle classification, and other occlusal features such as spacing, crowding, overbite, and overjet were also assessed. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, as well as Pearson correlation coefficient, were applied as appropriate in the analysis of the data. Results: Of 32 subjects initially having a flush terminal relationship (Class 1), 22 (68.7%) resulted in a Class I molar relationship, seven (21.9%) had Class II, and three (9.4%) had asymmetric relationships. Mesial step (Class III) was formed initially in 18 and 11 (61.1%) resulted in Class I. A Class III developed in five (27.8%). Significant positive correlations were found for molar relationship, crowding, overbite, and overjet variables (P Ͻ .01) between the two periods of assessments, but all were below 0.7 value. Conclusions: Angle Class I molar relationship was favored by initial flush terminal plane and mesial step relationships in the deciduous dentition.

“…Diastema in the upper jaw (midline diastema), because of pernicious habits and/or familial tendencies, shows more prevalence over diastema in the lower jaw. Compared to midline diastema (1), mandibular diastema is not as marked and as a growth characteristic occurs less frequently, but the consequences are quite dramatic (2,3). According to a research by Attia (4) the primary etiologic factor in mandibular diastemas is tongue thrust in a low rest position.…”

Mandibular diastema does not occur often, however, its abnormal characteristics have more disturbing implications. A major etiologic factor for mandibular diastema are pernicious habits associated with tongue thrust in a low rest position. The aim of this study is to report the approach and effects of intercepting the deleterious habit of tongue interposition and tongue thrust swallowing and the resultant periodontal changes. Tongue interposition and tongue thrust swallowing in lower jaw may lead to gingival recession, loss of alveolar bone, tooth mobility and diastema. Early termination of bad habits allows for prevention of periodontal problems and possibility of regeneration of soft and hard tissues. In the case study reported intercepting the tongue thrust on lower incisors led to the restoration of alveolar bone, reversing the recession and a spontaneous self-correction of the 7-mm diastema. Thus loss of teeth due to the periodontal problem was prevented and periodontal surgery to restore the level of the bone and gingiva was avoided..
