“…Other investigators report that a deciduous posterior cross bite ranges between 7-12%. 8,10,18 But our fi ndings are similar to Hensel (12) and Stahl & Grabowski,6 who report 5.1% and 4% respectively. Available literature suggests that the development of the occlusion and oral functions in primary dentition is a continuum for the further …”

The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of malocclusions in a sample of 4-5-year-old children. Methodology: 471 boys and girls participated in this observational cross-sectional epidemiological study. The presence of spacing, no spacing and crowding, anteroposterior, transverse and vertical occlusion relationships was assessed and analyzed. Results: Normal occlusal relationships were found in 35.6% of all children. Generalized spacing was found in 78.2% of the subjects, followed by no spacing in 16.1% and crowding in 5.7%, respectively. Class I canine relationship was found in 64.1% of the children, followed by Class II in 29.1% and Class III in 9.6%. A fl ush terminal molar relationship was found in approximately 70% of the children, followed by mesial and distal molar relationships equally distributed. An increased and decreased overjet was observed in 9.5% and in 4.9% of the children. An anterior cross-bite was documented in 6.4% of all the examined children. An unilateral posterior cross-bite and a bilateral posterior crossbite were observed in 3.2% and in 1.5% of the sample. A posterior edge-to-edge bite was found in 1.9%. A normal overbite was found in 30.1% of all children; a deep bite with and without gingival contact was registered in 27% and in 8.5% respectively; an anterior open bite was seen in 7.2% of the children and a posterior open bite in 1.3%. The percentage of mandible lateral deviation cases is 2.5%. Conclusion: Due to the high prevalence of malocclusions with 64.4%, early attention may be given to orthodontic prevention measures.

“…16 The six selected cases were representative of the most typical situations requiring early treatment. 3,17,18 The second treatment plans (T2) were developed by the clinicians not earlier than 6 weeks and not later than 10 weeks after the first ones (T1). A minimum delay of 6 weeks between T1 and T2 can be assumed to ensure a washout period after which clinicians will no longer remember the treatment decisions they made the first time around (T1) when they reevaluate the case at T2.…”

Objective: To assess the extent to which cephalograms modify therapeutic decisions related to early orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: Diagnostic records of six patients requiring early treatment were digitized for this purpose. A total of 234 orthodontists were then asked to select therapeutic measures on a treatment-planning sheet at two different times (T1 and T2). Three groups of orthodontists were formed and were provided with case-specific records either including or not including cephalograms and the appended tracing values. Forty-seven orthodontists completed all phases of the questions. Results: Statistical analysis revealed only two statistically significant differences between the first (T1) and second (T2) treatment plans, both concerning options of transverse treatment. None of the other results showed any significant changes from T1 to T2 treatment planning. Conclusion: It follows that cephalograms did not influence therapeutic decisions for early orthodontic treatment and should not be routinely used in very young patients. (Angle Orthod.

“…O poder de reconhecimento destas características é essencial, sobretudo para profissionais que normalmente atendem pacientes em crescimento. As maloclusões podem corresponder ao segundo motivo principal da procura por tratamento em clínicas pediátricas 8 , e vários autores comprovam a necessidade do reconhecimento precoce das mesmas [9][10][11] . O contínuo interesse neste assunto é também alimentado pelo fato de que ainda não foi comprovada nenhuma relação de causa e efeito entre a função nasorespiratória e alguns aspectos da morfologia dento-facial 12 .…”

Objetivo: Investigar as diferenças entre crianças respiradoras nasais e bucais quanto às características oclusais e dimensões do palato. Método: Foram empregados 60 modelos de estudo de crianças de 6 a 10 anos divididas em um grupo composto por respiradores nasais e outro por respiradores bucais, selecionados mediante diagnóstico otorrinolaringológico. Os modelos foram avaliados em relação à distância intermolares (DIM), intercaninos (DIC), profundidade de palato (PP), relação molar, e presença de mordida cruzada posterior. Resultados: Quanto às dimensões do palato, observou-se diferença significativa entre os dois grupos em relação à DIM, menor para respiradores bucais (p<0,05); quanto à PP, esta foi significativamente maior para o mesmo grupo em relação aos respiradores nasais (p<0,05). No entanto, em relação à DIC, nenhuma diferença foi observada (p>0,05). Na análise das características oclusais, não houve diferença significativa entre os dois grupos quanto ao posicionamento dos primeiros molares permanentes (p>0,05) ou em relação à presença de mordida cruzada posterior (p=0,184). Conclusão: A ausência de diferenças entre os grupos quanto à DIC, associada à diferença encontrada em relação à DIM sugere uma tendência de estreitamento maxilar em uma posição mais posterior em decorrência do padrão respiratório alterado. Os dados obtidos em relação às características oclusais sugerem que o respirador bucal não pode ser considerado como portador de um tipo de maloclusão específica. No entanto, a detecção da presença de uma maior PP e, principalmente, de uma menor DIM nos respiradores bucais pode indicar uma tendência de evolução de contração do arco maxilar e subseqüente instalação de mordida cruzada posterior que, eventualmente, pode se pronunciar com maior evidência com o passar da idade.Respiração bucal; Ortodontia; Má oclusão.Objective: To investigate differences between nose and mouthbreathing children with respect to the occlusal characteristics and palatal dimensions. Method: For this study were used 60 study models of children aged 6 to 10 years, assigned to a group of nose-breathing children and a group of mouth-breathing children, selected based on the otorhinolaryngological diagnosis. The models were evaluated with respect to the intermolar distance (IMD), intercanine distance (ICD), palatal depth (PD), molar relationship and presence of posterior crossbite. Results: Regarding the palatal dimensions, a statistically significant difference was observed between the groups as to IMD, which was smaller for the mouth-breathing children (p<0.05). PD was significantly greater for the mouth-breathers compared to the nosebreathers (p<0.05). Nevertheless, no significant difference was observed with respect to ICD (p>0,05). The analysis of occlusal characteristics revealed no significant differences between the groups as to the position of the first permanent molars (p>0.05) or presence of posterior crossbite (p=0.184). Conclusion: The lack of difference between the groups as to ICD allied to the difference found f...
