Background/Aims Occlusal features may increase the risk of dental trauma. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between occlusal characteristics and the occurrence of dental trauma in preschool children. Materials and Methods A population‐based case‐control study was conducted with a representative sample of 200 children 3‐5 years of age enrolled at private and public preschools in the city of Diamantina, Brazil. The case and control groups were matched for gender, age and type of preschool (public or private) at a ratio of 1:1 (100 cases and 100 controls). Independent variables of interest to the study (occlusal characteristics) and potential confounders (sociodemographic characteristics, sucking habits and lip coverage) were investigated. Intra‐examiner and inter‐examiner kappa values were higher than 0.80 for all oral conditions evaluated. The SPSS 22.0 program was used to analyse the data. Descriptive and univariate analyses as well as simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. Results The occlusal feature most strongly associated with trauma was anterior open bite (OR = 3.80; 95% CI: 1.42‐10.16). Maxillary anterior crowding (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.00‐4.63) and overjet (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.58‐2.17) were associated with the occurrence of trauma independently of the confounding variables (sociodemographic characteristics, sucking habits and lip coverage), but these variables lost their significance when adjusted for other types of malocclusion. Anterior open bite remained strongly associated with dental trauma, regardless of confounding variables and other types of malocclusion. Conclusion Anterior open bite was the main variable associated with dental trauma in the preschool children analysed independently of the confounding variables and the presence of other malocclusions.

“…Increased overjet (>2 mm) and anterior open bite were found in 61.1% and 42.4% of the children examined, respectively. Increased overjet has been identified as a risk factor for traumatic dental injury, and anterior open bite is considered the malocclusion with the highest esthetic and functional impact in childhood [27][28][29] . Moreover, sucking habits have been indicated as an etiological factor for increased overjet and anterior open bite [30][31][32][33][34] .…”

“…A balanced occlusion in primary dentition favors the proper development of chewing, speech, and breathing functions in a critical period of both physical and emotional growth and development 32 . Psychological conditions related to esthetic problems and the prevention of upper incisor fractures from trauma may influence the decision in favor of an earlier intervention 27 .…”

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the occlusal characteristics and prevalence of malocclusion among Brazilian preschool children. Subjects and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1004 children aged 2-5 years enrolled in public preschools of the city of Canoas, RS, Brazil. A questionnaire was administered to guardians addressing demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral characteristics of the children and their families. The clinical exam was performed by previously calibrated dentists and the characteristics of the primary dentition were verified according to set criteria. Data analysis was performed through the chi-square test. Results: Stability in the sagittal and transverse planes of the posterior region, and a variability of incisal relations in the primary dentition were verified. The findings show high prevalence of malocclusion (70.3%) and its association with age. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of malocclusion in primary dentition, implementing educational programs and prevention measures for preschool children is highlighted.

“…The main environmental factors for the development of malocclusions at early ages are non-nutritive sucking habits, such as thumb or pacifier sucking for long periods of time, which can increase the chances of the development of an anterior open bite or posterior crossbite 3,13,14 . Malocclusions that are associated with non-nutritive sucking habits include an anterior open bite, a change in the intercanine relationship, a posterior crossbite, and an increased overjet 15 .…”
