Spacing and crowding among African and Caucasian children

Abstract

When planning resources for orthodontic treatment for different populations as well as planning treatment for individuals, ethnic background and emergence stage of the dentition need to be considered.

“…No significant difference was observed in crowding between males and females, but females had more severe crowding than males. This finding agrees with a study by Mugonzibwa et al 17 that reported no statistically significant differences in dental crowding between genders. No significant gender differences were also noted in oral hygiene parameters among cases, families, siblings and parents.…”

Prevalence of spacing and crowding in permanent dentition among patients visiting a private dental hospital

“…Spacing was found to be prevalent in only 23.7% of the population. Similar results were obtained by Mugonzibwa et al (2008) but the study conducted by Vibhute et al (2013), showed contradictory results (Vibhute et al, 2013). Figure 3 and Figure 4 shows the correlation of age, gender and indings of the patient in the maxillary arch [Figure 3, Figure 4].…”

“…A study conducted by Mugonzibwa et al (2008) showed contradictory results stating that spacing is the most common anomaly in the maxilla (Mugonzibwa et al, 2008). From Figure 2 it is evident in the mandible, crowding was the most common anomaly than spacing.…”

Diagnostic capability of Little irregularity index to estimate arch length discrepancy

“…Bernabe and Flores (19) and Ajayi (29) , but contradicts with a study by Mugonzibwa et al (32) as showed that spacing was more often found in the maxilla, while crowding was more common in the mandible. Mugonzibwa et al (32) study was conducted on Tanzanian African and Caucasian children, correspondingly, genetic factors may influence variation in space anomalies among different ethnic groups in addition to the environmental factors which can affect the occlusal similarities within families (33) .…”
