Approval letter from the Ethical committee of the university of Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and etiological factors of anterior open bite in the permanent dentition in a sample of Sudanese university students. Materials and methods:A cross section study for 1224 Sudanese university students (612 males and 612 females), age ranges between 17 and 23 years old. Anterior open bite was registered when there was lack of contact between the anterior teeth while the posterior ones stayed in occlusion. Results:The prevalence of anterior open bite among 1224 university students was 8.5% (11.77% in males and 5.23% in females). The most common etiological factor was thumb sucking habit (24.1%). Moderate anterior open bite had the highest percentage (59.6%) among the students with open bite followed by severe anterior open bite (32.7%) and the extreme anterior open bite had the lowest percentage (7.7%).

“…Worldwide, the prevalence of anterior open bite in previous studies was ranging between 1.6% and 47.1% [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Females were reported to have higher incidence of anterior open bite than males [9,13,14,[16][17][18].…”

“…A literatura mostra uma auto-correção desta má oclusão, se o hábito for interrompido na transição da dentição decídua para mista 29,30 . No entanto, o ideal é não aguardar essa autocorreção e sim realizar o tratamento o mais precocemente possível, antes que está má oclusão se torne irreversível 31 e promova alterações morfológicas com o passar do tempo, como atresia do arco maxilar.…”

ResumoA mordida aberta anterior é uma má oclusão caracterizada pela presença de um trespasse vertical negativo entre as bordas incisais dos dentes anteriores superiores e inferiores. A etiologia é multifatorial, entre eles estão à hereditariedade, hábitos de sucção digital e chupeta, interposição de língua e respiração bucal. Estes fatores tornam a má oclusão complexa, principalmente em relação a estabilidade, sendo necessário um tratamento multidisciplinar, envolvendo psicólogos, otorrinolaringologistas e fonoaudiólogos, para que o tratamento ortodôntico se torne mais preciso e eficiente, diminuindo o risco da instabilidade desta má oclusão. Na literatura há várias formas de tratamento, desde a utilização de aparelhos fixos mais complexos até tratamentos mais simples. O objetivo deste artigo foi descrever o tratamento estabelecido para um paciente com 13 anos de idade, apresentando uma mordida aberta anterior dentoalveolar, causada por hábito de sucção digital até os 9 anos de idade, que desencadeou uma interposição lingual e dificuldade de fonação adequada. O tratamento proposto foi uma ortodontia simples e efetiva por meio da extrusão dos dentes anteriores com o uso de elásticos intermaxilares, apoiados no aparelho ortodôntico fixo metálico pré-ajustado (Prescrição Andrews, slot 0.022") e controle clínico mostrando estabilidade após 2 anos. O tratamento ortodôntico realizado foi satisfatório, porém é necessário destacar a importância da participação da fonoaudiologia para que houvesse estabilidade da oclusão e retorno das funções musculares à normalidade.

AbstractThe anterior open bite is a malocclusion characterized by presence of a negative overbite between incisal surfaces of upper and lower anterior teeth. The etiology is multifactorial, including hereditary factor, pacificator and digital suction habits, tongue interposition and buccal breath. These factors become the malocclusion complex, mainly in relation to occlusal stability, being necessary a multidisciplinary treatment involving psychologist, otolaryngologist and audiologists for a more precise and efficient orthodontic treatment to decrease the risk for occlusal instability of this malocclusion. Literature describes several forms of treatment including complex fixed appliances to simple treatments. The aim of this article was to describe a treatment performed to 13-years old patient presenting a dentoalveolar anterior open bite caused by digital suction habit since 9-years old that evolved to tongue interposition and difficulty of adequate speech. The proposal treatment was a simple and effective orthodontic approach by extrusion of anterior teeth using intermaxillary chains supported by fixed pre-adjusted metallic orthodontic appliance (Andrews prescription, slot 0.022") and clinical follow-up for 2-years after treatment. The orthodontic treatment was satisfactory, but it's need to highlight the importance of participation of audiologist to achieve final stability of occl...

“…Based on this studied population, the Moyers Tables may be considered reliable for predicting the mesiodistal diameters of the unerupted canines and premolars, providing a fast diagnosis with respect to the lack or excess of spaces, allowing orthodontic treatment to be performed as early as possible (URZAL et al, 2013;SHAH et al, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT:This study aimed to evaluate the applicability and reliability of Moyers' probability tables in a sample population of youngsters in the Northeast of Brazil. A total of 200 plaster casts of the mandibular arch were evaluated, whom 99 were men and 101 females, aged 15-19 years. For this purpose a digital pachymeter was used to measure the mesiodistal widths of the tooth crowns. The values of the mesiodistal diameters obtained were submitted to statistical analysis by simple linear regression. Only the canine/premolar segment presented significant difference (p<.001) between the mesiodistal diameters of the individuals of the male and female genders, and the male gender presented broader teeth. The regression equations for the mandibular arch for men, Y= 13.42 + 0.37(X) and women, Y= 8.79 + 0.55(X), demonstrated that Moyers' tables with 75 percentage levels, tended to underestimate the real sum of the mandibular permanent canine and premolar of individuals of the male and female gender, however, without statistical difference (p>.05). It could be concluded that there was sexual dimorphism in the size of the teeth for the canine/premolar segment, with men presenting broader teeth. Moyers' probability tables were shown to be reliable for application in white individuals in the Northeast of Brazil.
