GONZALEZ GOMEZ, Yamirka Aleida. Risk factors associated with malocclusions in temporal teeth. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.66-76. ISSN 1561-3194.

Introduction: malocclusion is established as a result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, these limitations are given by individual variations in every subject where the features of temporal dentition must be considered. There are attributes such as: terminal planes, kind of dental arch, vulnerability of caries for temporal dentition, presence of harmful oral habits, and the absence of inter-incisor diastemas are risk factors triggering malocclusions. Objective: to characterize the risk factors triggering malocclusion in temporal teeth.   Material and Method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional research was carried out in children from 3 to 5 years old at Centenario de Baragua Day Care Center in Pinar del Río during January-March 2013, a clinical-oral examination was performed, data of interest were collected using them as summary measures for the absolute frequencies and percentages. Results: terminal plane rectum was the most frequent, open bite predominated as dentomaxillofacial anomaly, upper primate space prevailed, and protractile tongue was the most common oral habit. Conclusion: the greatest responsibilities fall on in these risk factors for the onset of malocclusions in temporal dentition, leading to the future development of malocclusions in permanent teeth, thus to eliminate or restrict its influence is a task for all.
