“…In the same way, Bhayya et al, [5] revealed that of 1000 Indian children 4-6-yearold, 52.5% had a flush terminal plane, whereas 36% had a mesial step and 8.4% showed a distal step. Finally, Maatouk et al, [6], Keski-Nisula et al, [7] and Sukhia et al, [8] also reported the ascendancy of the flush molar relationship with 50.2%, 47.8% and 63.2%, respectively (Table 3).…”

“…All children in these age cohorts were screened during the late deciduous dentition period, and those diagnosed as needing treatment received a full clinical examination at the onset of the mixed dentition period. 10 Children were included in the treatment group if they showed one or more of the following occlusal characteristics: (1) distal step (Ն1 mm), (2) Class II canine relationship (Ն1 mm), (3) excess overbite (Ͼ3 mm and lack of tooth-to-tooth contact between the incisors), (4) deep bite (Ͼ3 mm with gingival contact of the incisors), (5) crowding, (6) anterior crossbite, and (7) scissors bite (buccal crossbite). The treatment group was treated using the eruption guidance appliance only ( Figure 1).…”

Objective: To evaluate skeletal and dentoalveolar changes induced by the eruption guidance appliance in the early mixed dentition. Materials and Methods: Pre-and posttreatment cephalometric radiographs of 115 consecutively treated children, 62 boys and 53 girls, were compared with those obtained from a control group of 104 children, 52 boys and 52 girls. Pretreatment radiographs were taken at the deciduousmixed dentition interphase (T1) and after full eruption of all permanent incisors and first molars (T2). The mean age of the children in both groups was 5.1 years at T1 and 8.4 years at T2. Results: A significant difference between the groups at T2 was found in the mandibular length, midfacial length, and maxillomandibular differential. The increase in mandibular length was 11.1 mm in the treatment group and 7.2 mm in the control group. No differences were found in measurements of maxillary position or size. There was a significant shift toward a Class I relationship in the treatment group. Labial tipping and linear protrusion of the mandibular incisors was evident in the treatment group at T2. There was no effect on the inclination or position of the maxillary incisors. Conclusions: Occlusal correction was achieved mainly through changes in the dentoalveolar region of the mandible. In addition, the appliance enhanced condylar growth resulting in a clinically significant increase in mandibular length. No effect was observed on maxillary position, maxillary size, inclination or protrusion of the maxillary incisors, or facial height.

“…It is also reported that some ethnic groups, such as Australian Aborigines, whose diet is still fibrous and dry develop more muscle work demanding additional stomatognathic system effort, that in turn determines wider maxillary dental archs (Keski-Nisula et al, 2003), as could be the case in Amazon Indian groups, described as having well developed transversal size, harmonic occlusal relations, low grade of dental crowding and not frequent open and cross bite (Bedoya et al, 2005). For Colombian population dental arch transversal and anteroposteriordimensions were compared in three ethnic groups showed differences in intercanine distance, as well as between premolar and between molar teeth.…”
