ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to assess the relation between vertical malocclusions with palatal index and palatal height. Materials and Methods: Transversal study. The sample consisted in 134 stone models within mixed dentition, 81 females and 53 males, they were convenience selected and obtained from the pediatric and orthodontic dentistry medical center at the National School for Superior Studies Unit León since 2014 to 2018. The stone models were divided into three categories according to their kind of occlusion: open bite (37), deep bite (32) and normal bite (65). Palatal width and height were measure by using a digital caliper. Subsequently the palatal index was obtained and it was related with the parameters exposed by Korkhaus using the Spearman statistical test. Results: The Spearman statistical test indicated there is no a clearly relationship between palatal index values exposed by Korkhaus with the presence of vertical malocclusions and in the same way there is no a relationship between palatal height and vertical malocclusions. Conclusions: The result obtained by using the palatal index was no able to indicate an agreement with Korkhaus parameters. Probably this disagreement was due to the constant changes that occur during the period of the mixed dentition.
