Abstract:

The aim was to evaluate the prevalence and distribution profile of malocclusion in children and its association with macro-region, housing, gender and race self reported. 6855 children with 5 years old participating in the National Survey of Oral Health (called SB Brazil 2010) were analyzed. The malocclusion was diagnosed according to the Foster and Hamilton index. Descriptive, bivariate and Poisson Regression analyses (PR/CI95%) was conducted. Identified that 63.2% of children had at least one of the occlusal problems evaluated: canines key (22.9%), overjet (32.9%), overbite (34.6%), and crossbite (18.7%) and, therefore, were considered with malocclusion. Greater chance of presence of malocclusion was identified among the residents of the Midwest regions (1.08/1.01-1.15), Northeast (1.21/1.14-1.28), Southeast (1.27/-1.20-1.34) and South (1.34/1.26-1.42), when compared to residents in the North. Was higher among female children (1.06/1.02 -1.09). No associations were identified in relation to race and location of municipality (capital/no capital). Identified a high prevalence of malocclusion in preschool, this being associated with sex and the macro-region. These findings may contribute to the public policies expansion and access to treatment for this population.
