Patterns of occlusion in 3-year-old Danish children.

Occlusion and spacing patterns are described for 1,624 3-year-old children living in Gladsaxe, a suburb of Copenhagen. Normal transversal relations were found in 1,396 children, while 214 had crossbite, and 14 had scissors-bite. The sagittal and vertical occlusion were significantly different in the three groups. The sagittal occlusion characters were to a large extent identical in the second primary molar, the canine and the incisor regions in the individual child. Open bite was much more frequent in children with maxillary overjet greater than 4 mm than in children with maxillary overjet greater than or equal to 4 mm. Definite mandibular overjet was diagnosed in three children but 19 had a tendency towards mandibular overjet. The number of dummy suckers was very high and significantly higher among children with crossbite than amoung children with normal transversal relations. Crowding was found in the incisor regions, but very seldom, while total spacing existed in 34.5% of the maxillary and 24.3% of the mandibular arches.

[The growth of the skull and its importance for the occlusal conditions in Down's disease].

The teleradiographs and study casts of 68 patients with Down's disease were compared with those of 102 students. Pseudoprognathism, cross-bite and open bite were strikingly more frequent in the patients with Down's disease than in the students. The success of orthodontic treatment is very uncertain in patients with Down's disease. Mandibular prognathism needs in most cases surgical treatment. An open bite will be improved only if the position of the tongue is changed. Improvement of a cross-bite may be achieved by early expansion of the maxillae. In certain cases, normalization is accomplished. It is possible to reach considerable inprovements in patients showing a few or no occlusal surfaces though normal conditions cannot be established.

Premature loss of primary teeth: part I, its overall effect on occlusion and space in the permanent dentition.

Premature loss of primary molars causes, without doubt, permanent changes in regard to space and sagittal molar relations, in the permanent dentition. The changes are due to drifting of teeth and lack of growth, and such changes should, whenever possible, be prevented. In part two of this series of papers, a further analysis of the data will be presented.
