Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência de maloclusão e cárie em crianças que frequentam o ensino pré-escolar no Agrupamento de Escolas da Nazaré e relacionar a maloclusão com o sexo e a idade, bem como descrever a relação entre a prevalência de cárie com a existência de maloclusão.
Materiais e Métodos: Foram observadas 149 crianças de ambos os géneros, com idades entre os 3 e os 6 anos. A recolha de dados, foi realizada no Agrupamento de Escolas da Nazaré, em ambiente escolar e com recurso a kits básicos de observação.
Foram analisadas as seguintes características: tipo de arco de Baume, presença de diastemas, espaços primatas, apinhamento, relação distal dos segundos molares decíduos, relação canina, overjet, overbite, linha média dentária, mordida posterior e anterior e presença de cárie dentária.
Resultados: A prevalência de maloclusão encontrada na amostra estudada foi 34,2%. A mordida cruzada posterior foi o tipo de maloclusão mais prevalente (33,8%), ao contrário da mordida aberta posterior, que se revelou a menos prevalente (5,6%). A presença de cáries foi observada em 30,9% das crianças, não apresentando relação estatística com a prevalência de maloclusão.
Conclusão: A prevalência de maloclusão e da presença de cárie nas crianças pertencentes ao Agrupamento em estudo foi relativamente baixa e não foi verificado qualquer tipo de relação estatística entre as variáveis estudadas, porém foi possível observar que o índice de cpod das crianças com maloclusão revelou-se quase o dobro do índice de cpod das crianças sem maloclusão.
Aim: The aim of this studie was to evaluate the prevalence of malocclusion and caries in children attending preschool in the municipality of Nazare, relating malocclusion with gender and age, as well as describing the relationship between the prevalence of caries and the existence of malocclusion. Materials and Methods: A total of 149 children of both genders, aged between 3 and 6 years old, were observed. Data collection was carried out in Agrupamento de Escolas da Nazaré, Health District of Leiria, in a school environment using basic observation kits. The following characteristics were analyzed: Baume arch type, presence of diastemas, primate spaces, crowding, the deciduous second molars distal relation, canine relationship, dental midline, overjet, overbite, posterior and anterior bite and presence of dental caries. Results: The prevalence of malocclusion found in the studied sample was 42,2%. Posterior crossbite was the most prevalent type of malocclusion (33,8%), contrary to posterior open bite which proved to be the least prevalent (5,6%). The presence of caries was observed in 30,9% of the children, showing no statistical relationship with the prevalence of malocclusion. Conclusion: The prevalence of malocclusion and the presence of caries in children belonging to the group under study was relatively low and there was no statistical relationship between the variables studied, but it was possible to observe that the dmtf index of children with malocclusion was almost double the dmtf index of children without malocclusion.
