“…The prevalence of Class II canine & Class III canine relation was 5.7% & 3.3% respectively on right side while the prevalence of Class II canine & Class III canine relation was 4.6% & 3.7% respectively on left side. The most common canine relationship has been found to be Class I ,which is in agreement with other findings in various ethnic groups (9,19) . The prevalence and frequency of Class II & class III canine relation were consistent with the findings of Qtuyemi et al (9) but not with the findings of other studies (15,(19)(20)(21) due to differences in research methods applied in evaluating the prevalence of malocclusion .…”

“…The incidence of normal overbite was observed in 67.3% of children, 0.8% edge-to-edge, 0.3% anterior open bite and increased overbite in 31.6% of the sample comparable with several studies (9,25) . No understandable cause could be offered to clarify the difference except the oral habits, such as finger sucking and dummy sucking may act a significant role (9) .…”

“…Lack of spaces in the deciduous teeth is an representation of disproportion concerning tooth and jaw size. Prevalence of spacing in the primary dentition varies between different ethnic and populations groups (7)(8)(9) . The distal step relationship of the primary molar teeth commonly result in Angel class II molar relation whereas smaller number of mesial step cause class III molar relation.…”

Occlusion characteristics of the deciduous dentition plays an important responsibility in the subsequent final occlusion of the permanent teeth. Consequently, good understanding of occlusion in preschoolers is important for pediatric dentist. A total of 630 children of 3-5 years age group with complete primary dentition were examined for occlusal and canine relationship, primate spaces, physiological spacing and overbite. There is alteration in primary molar relation as age increases ,there was a significant rise in mesial step molar relation within five years age group compared to three years age group. The class I canine relation was the most predominant canine relationship, but canine relation alterations with age was not statistically significant. Larger number of the assessed children had spaced primary dentition and flush terminal plane that precede to occurrence of typical occlusion of permanent teeth.

“…No entanto, o aleitamento materno vem sofrendo a influên-cia de fatores sociais e econômicos motivados pela inserção da mulher no mercado de trabalho, gerando certo prejuízo na relação materno-infantil 5 . Além disso, observa-se uma maior frequência do uso da chupeta decorrente do modo de vida moderno, da crescente industrialização e de aspectos socioculturais 22 , já que tal objeto é de fácil acesso a todas as classes sociais e sua utilização pelo lactente está associada à redução do tempo de aleitamento materno 9 .…”

Objective: To verify the prevalence and factors associated with nonnutritive sucking habits in preschool-aged children attending daycare centers and preschools in Natal, Brazil. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,190 children of both sexes, aged 3 to 5 years, enrolled in daycare centers and preschools in Natal, Brazil. Exclusion criteria were: children with cleft lip and palate, temporomandibular joint disorders, or submitted to orthodontic and/or orthopedic treatment; as well as institutions specialized in children with disabilities. Parents or guardians answered a structured questionnaire providing information on the institution, children's sex and age, parents' educational level, and habit-related questions. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and logistic regression.Results: A prevalence of 40.2% of nonnutritive sucking habits was obtained; of these, 27.7% were pacifier-sucking and 12.5% were finger-sucking habits. Girls showed a higher percentage of sucking habits, especially finger sucking (p = 0.02); younger children showed a higher prevalence of pacifier-sucking habits (p = 0.0006). A higher frequency of pacifier-and finger-sucking habits was associated, respectively, with parents' higher education (p < 0.05) and elementary education (p < 0.05). Logistic regression revealed that younger individuals (p = 0.033) and secondary education level of parents (p = 0.035) are independent factors for habit persistence. Conclusion:A high prevalence of nonnutritive sucking habits was verified, highlighting younger age groups and secondary education level of parents as important associated factors.

ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a prevalência e os fatores associados aos hábi-tos de sucção não nutritiva em crianças pré-escolares matriculadas em creches e pré-escolas de Natal (RN). Métodos:Foi conduzido um estudo transversal com 1.190 crianças de ambos os sexos na faixa etária de 3 a 5 anos, matriculadas em creches e pré-escolas de Natal. Não foram incluídas no estudo crianças com fendas labiopalatinas, desordens temporomandibulares, ou aquelas submetidas a tratamento ortodôntico e/ou ortopédico; também não fizeram parte da amostra instituições de ensino especializadas em crianças portadoras de deficiência. Utilizou-se um questionário estruturado, respondido pelos pais ou responsável, com dados sobre a instituição, sexo e idade das crianças, escolaridade dos pais e questões relacionadas aos hábitos. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do teste do qui-quadrado e a regressão logística.Resultados: Obteve-se prevalência de 40,2% de hábitos de sucção não nutritiva, dos quais 27,7% eram de sucção de chupeta e 12,5% de dedo. Os hábitos de sucção apresentaram maior percentual para o sexo feminino, destacando-se a sucção de dedo (p = 0,02); em crianças com menos idade destacou-se a sucção de chupeta (p = 0,0006). Observou-se maior frequência de sucção de chupeta e de dedo, respectivame...

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15] Nigeria being a large multi-ethnic nation, the last reports attempted to assess any possible ethnic variations in the occlusion of the preschool children. 14,15 Just like in other countries, the philosophy of early orthodontic treatment and preventive and interceptive orthodontics is advocated in 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.
