Abstract:

The aim of this study was to identify the severity of malocclusions and associated factors among Brazilian adolescents. Data from 5,445 adolescents, participants of the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010), were evaluated and 4,276 were included based on the inclusion criteria. The outcome was severe and very severe malocclusion, according to the dental aesthetic index (DAI>30). The independent variables were: place of residence, macro-region, ethnicity, gender, income, education level, access to dental care, caries in anterior and posterior teeth, and anterior and posterior tooth loss due to caries. Logistical regression analysis was carried out, considering the complex sampling cluster design, based on a hierarchical model. Prevalence of severe/very severe malocclusions was 17.5%. After adjustments, black/brown ethnicity (OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.09-2.34), low income (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.55-0-82), anterior (OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.14-4.76) and posterior tooth loss (OR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.14-1.84) due to caries were associated with the outcome. Therefore, black/brown ethnicity, low income and greater number of teeth lost due to caries in both anterior and posterior areas increased the odds for severe/very severe malocclusion.
