Hence, the aim of this retrospective study was to assess the occlusal condition in children with traumatic dental injuries of the primary teeth, and the association between the occlusal characteristics and the type and severity of these injuries. Material and Methods: Data were collected from records of children treated at a dental trauma center in Brazil over a period of 16 years the data included age, gender, etiology of the trauma, place of occurrence, number of affected teeth, type of trauma, and injury severity. The occlusal condition was assessed by a trained dentist using photographs of the patients from their first visit. Chi-square tests and Poisson regression were used for data analyses. Results: This study included 209 patients, and most were aged between 2-4 years (50.55%). Multivariate regression analysis showed that children with an anterior open bite had a 47% higher prevalence of severe trauma than those who did not have an open bite, and those with class II canines had a 56% higher prevalence of severe trauma than those with class I and III canines. Children with an anterior open bite had a 46% higher prevalence of injuries affecting multiple teeth than those without anterior open bite. Conclusions: Anterior open bite and class II canine relationship were associated with a higher Accepted Article This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved prevalence of severe traumatic dental injury in primary teeth, and anterior open bite was associated with trauma affecting multiple teeth.

Background Knowledge of the normal tooth eruption patterns is essential for the identification and appropriate treatment of deviations in eruption that may endanger physiologic development. A delay in time between the exfoliation of a deciduous tooth and the eruption of its permanent successor may be related to a disorder known as dental retention. This occurs when tooth eruption does not occur within a normal time frame, the tooth is not present in the dental arch, and there is no potential for eruption due to the presence of a completely formed root or when the homologous tooth has been erupted for at least six months with complete root formation. Report A 10-year-old boy in the mixed dentition stage presented with an impacted maxillary left central incisor due to...

A crosssectional study was conducted with children (n = 489) aged 2-5 years in private and public schools in Pelotas, South Brazil. Mothers answered a questionnaire on demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral variables, including breastfeeding and non-nutritive sucking habits. Malocclusion was classified as normal/mild and moderate/severe, according to WHO criteria. The association between breastfeeding and pacifier use with malocclusion was tested using multivariate logistic regression. The prevalence of malocclusion was 37.83% (95%CI 33.52-42.14), and 57.87% of the children used a pacifier. A total of 46.01% of the sample was exclusively breastfed for 6 months, and 24.74% were never breastfed. Malocclusion was associated with pacifier use, and with both non-exclusively breastfed and never breastfed. After adjustments for demographic and socioeconomic variables, the children who used a pacifier and were never breastfed (OR = 19.08; 95%CI 8.54-42.63), or who used a pacifier and were not exclusively breastfed (OR = 13.74; 95%CI 6.11-30.92), showed worse occlusal conditions, compared with the children who were exclusively breastfed and never used a pacifier. Pacifier use modifies the relationship between breastfeeding and occlusal status.

Entre as crianças e os adolescentes os Direitos Humanos não significam apenas a indicação de um grupo etário específico dentre os sujeitos titulares desses direitos, mas, sobretudo, o reconhecimento de um status especial atribuído aos direitos fundamentais que possuem, dentre eles o direito à saúde. Sendo esse tema específico muito sensível e caro para a sociedade, esse trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma apresentação breve da trajetória das conquistas relacionadas aos direitos e à saúde na infância na sociedade brasileira, bem como ressaltar a relevância de iniciativas em extensão universitária nesse contexto, especialmente aquelas que levam às ações integradas em projetos na área da saúde. No Brasil, enquanto política legislativa, foi somente nos anos 70 que o público infantil começou a ganhar especificidade. Desse período em diante, um processo de avanço conti...

Subjects and method: 502 children with complete primary dentition from primary schools in the city of Pelotas, RS, Brazil, were examined. Data was collected based on questionnaires distributed to the mothers, as well as on physical examinations of the oral cavity. The children with malocclusion presented at least one of the following changes: anterior open bite, deep overbite, posterior crossbite, and overjet. Chi-square tests for heterogeneity and linear trend were used to verify associations with demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral variables. Results: the occurrence of malocclusions in the population studied was 67.5%. From them, 33.6% presented anterior open bite, 22.3% presented deep overbite, 9.8% presented posterior crossbite, and overj...

A longitudinal study was conducted in Pelotas, Brazil. Children were assessed in 2007, when they were aged 2-5 years, and in 2013, at which time, they were aged 8-11 years. Data collection included interviews with parents and clinical oral examination for dental trauma and occlusion. The classification proposed by Andreasen and Andreasen was used, and crown discoloration and fistula were added to this criterion in order to assess pulp involvement. Child/parent report was used to aid in the diagnosis of both treated and untreated injuries. As a limitation, no radiographs were taken. Descriptive, univariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. A total of 110 children were included. Dental trauma frequency in the primary dentition was 38.2% and that in the ...

Its main causes are bicycle accidents, sports/recreational activities, and falls or collisions. Treatment strategies include waiting for the tooth to return to its position, immediate surgical repositioning, and repositioning through dental traction by orthodontic devices. In order to decide which treatment to follow, the degree of root formation, the patient&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s age, and intrusion severity should be taken into consideration. This study aimed to report a 10-year follow-up of two patients that suffered permanent incisor (PI) traumatic injury who had a similar root development (incomplete rooting) but different results. In the first case, the treatment of choice was follow-up. The patient showed gingival alteration and root resorption of tooth 21. Calcium hydroxide therapy and root canal filling were performed twice because of not attending callback. After finishing the endodontic treatment, follow-up visits showed no abnormalities. In the second case, the treatment of choice was watch and wait to the teeth 11 and 21. After 7 months spontaneous eruption of both teeth was detected. Radiographic examination showed atypical root formation and almost completely pulp canal obliteration, 8 years later. In the follow-up, visit after 10 years was observed complete crow and pulp canal obliteration. It was concluded that PI intrusion treatments are good intervention alternatives, as they proved to be successful after a 10-year follow-up period.

Five hundred and one 24- to 71-month-old children, attending both private and public schools in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were included. Clinical examinations were performed at each school. Occurrence of dental trauma was assessed using the Andreasen and Andreasen classification. Occlusal characteristics used in this study were: overjet; open bite; overbite; anterior crossbite; crowding and rotated teeth occurrence; and canine class. The occlusion type was classified according to the World Health Organization. A questionnaire was sent to parents to obtain socioeconomic data. Descriptive statistics were used, as well as chi-square tests (for heterogeneity or linear trend; P ≤ .05) and Fisher's exact test. The prevalence of dental trauma was 40% (95% confidence interval=35-44). Of all children examined, 20% showed normal occlusion, 42% mild maloccl...
