Occlusal characteristics during different emergence stages of the permanent dentition in Tanzanian Bantu and Finnish children

Abstract: Occlusal characteristics and anomalies were studied among 869 (428 boys, 441 girls) Tanzanian Bantu children aged 3.5-16 years and 706 (319 boys, 387 girls) Finnish children aged 5-11 years during different emergence stages of the permanent dentition. Various occlusal variables were registered according to described criteria. Multiple linear regression, ANOVA, t-test, Chi-square and logistic regression models were used to test for various statistically significant differences between different subgroups. Signi… Show more

“…Interestingly in this study, the increased overjet (> 3.5 mm) occurred in 31% of the children being higher than 12.2-19.3% reported previously in the Tanzanian population by Mugonzibwa and colleagues 24 . Mugonzibwa et al 24 , however, used a higher cut-off point of 5 mm for normal overjet which may account for the difference observed.…”

“…As regards malocclusion, few recent investigations have analyzed and classified dental occlusion in school populations in northern Tanzania. [27][28][29] The objectives of the study were, on the one hand, to evaluate the oral health status and types of occlusion in this population, and to assess the possible association between dental fluorosis and other pathologies such as decay, gingivitis and periodontitis.…”

“…1,2 A large number of epidemiologic studies on the prevalence of malocclusion and intraand extraoral evaluation criteria, such as Angle classification, crossbite, chin asymmetry, cleft lip and palate, midline diastema, and openbite, in different populations have been published. [3][4][5][6][7][8] The objective of epidemiologic studies in different geographic regions is to contribute to the development of preventive dental programs and to plan the distribution of health services according to treatment need. 9 The need for orthodontic treatment, the prevalence of malocclusion, and evaluation criteria have also been investigated for the Turkish population.…”
