Abstract(s)
Introdução: As complicações associadas à erupção precoce são cada vez mais alarmantes na população pediátrica e a sua associação com o IMC, o sexo e a idade tem vindo a ser referida por vários estudos, sendo importante a sua consideração na abordagem terapêutica em odontopediatria.
Objetivos: Este estudo examinou uma população pediátrica na Clínica Universitária Egas Moniz para determinar se existe uma relação entre o IMC e a erupção dos dentes definitivos, utilizando o método de Demirjian para comparar a idade real e a idade dentária. A relação da erupção com os dois sexos também foi estudada.
Materiais e métodos: Analisaram-se 65 crianças com idades entre os 6 e os 13 anos, de ambos os sexos, todas com dentes definitivos em erupção e sem patologias sistémicas que afetem a erupção. Foram divididas em 2 grupos (controlo e sobrepeso/obesidade). Na consulta recolheram-se as informações pessoais dos pacientes (sexo, idade, peso e altura) e registaram-se na ficha observacional. Calculou-se o percentil e, com recurso às ortopantomografias, retiraram-se os dados necessários para aplicar o método de Demirjian, relacionando a idade real com a idade dentária. Foi aplicada uma análise estatística descritiva e inferencial e para garantir a consistência das medições, efetuou-se calibragem.
Resultados: Na relação entre a idade real e a idade dentária, obteve-se um coeficiente de correlação de Spearman de 0,825 no grupo de controlo e de 0,611 no grupo de sobrepeso/obesidade. No grupo de controlo, o coeficiente no sexo feminino foi 0,780 e no sexo masculino 0,862. No grupo de sobrepeso/ obesidade o coeficiente no sexo masculino foi 0,938 e no sexo feminino 0,426.
Conclusão: Verificou-se uma associação entre a erupção precoce, o excesso de peso e o sexo feminino. Esta relação pode afetar o tratamento dos pacientes pediátricos. Não foi possível tirar conclusões acerca da relação entre a idade e a erupção.
Introduction: Complications associated with early eruption are increasingly concerning in the pediatric population, and their association with BMI, gender, and age has been highlighted by several studies, emphasizing their importance in therapeutic approaches in pediatric dentistry. Objectives: This study examined a pediatric population at Egas Moniz University Clinic to determine if there is a relationship between BMI and eruption of permanent teeth, using the Demirjian method to compare chronological age and dental age. The relationship between eruption and both genders was also investigated. Materials and Methods: A total of 65 children aged between 6 and 13 of both genders, all with erupting permanent teeth and without systemic pathologies affecting eruption, were analyzed. They were divided into 2 groups (control and overweight/obesity). Personal information of the patients (gender, age, weight, and height) was collected during the consult and recorded in the observational chart. Percentiles were calculated, and with the use of orthopantomographs, the necessary data were obtained to apply the Demirjian method, establishing a relationship between chronological age and dental age. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was conducted, and calibration was performed to ensure measurement consistency. Results: Regarding the relationship between chronological age and dental age, a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.825 was obtained in the control group and 0.611 in the overweight/obesity group. In the control group, the coefficient for females was 0.780 and for males, it was 0.862. In the overweight/obesity group, the coefficient for males was 0.938 and for females, it was 0.426. Conclusion: An association was observed between early eruption, excess weight, and female gender, potentially impacting pediatric patient treatment. Conclusions about the relationship between age and eruption could not be drawn.
