ABSTRACT
Introduction: Angle class I malocclusions can be associated with changes in body posture.Objective: to establish the possible association between Angle class I malocclusions and postural alterations.
Method: an analytical observational study of cases and controls was carried out in children eight and 12 years old at the University Polyclinic “Belkys Sotomayor Álvarez” in Ciego de Ávila from January 2016 to May 2017. The study population consisted of 126 patients with different Angle class I malocclusions who met the inclusion criteria. The child with Angle class I malocclusion with postural alteration was defined as a case, and the child with malocclusion but without postural alteration was defined as control. Helsinki ethical precepts and Cuban regulations were fulfilled.
Results: female sex predominated (56,35 %) and the age of 12 years (38,10 %). In general, superior transverse micrognathism prevailed as malocclusion (49,21 %). In malocclusions without postural changes, vestibuloversion of the upper incisors (22,22 %) with postural changes, and dental crowding (35,71 %) with scoliosis (13,49 %) predominated. Statistical association was found between dental crowding, simple anterior crossbite, superior transverse micrognathism and postural changes; however, it was not verified for vestibuloversion of the upper incisors, interincisive diastemas, and gyroversion.
Conclusions: the increased risk of certain Angle class I malocclusions was demonstrated in children exposed to postural bodily changes.
