Postura cráneo-cervical y su asociación a la oclusión en niños en la clínica odontológica UCSG 2018.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: the purpose of this degree study is to analyze the relationship bebtween craniocervical posture and malocclusion in children aged 6 to 12 who were attended in the dental clinic UCSG. MATERIALS AND METHODS: this is a radiographic descriptive, transversal, retrospective investigation , 83 readiograph of patients treated at the clinic dental UCSG in the semester B-2018 were analyzed the relationship between craniocervical posture and malocclussion. RESULTS: it was observed that it predomine women with the 53% while men has only 48%. It was determine that the cephalometric estudy of Rocabado the vertebrae C0-C175% was on point and 5% decrease, 20% increase. The vertebrae C1- C2 35% keep in norma, 0% decrease and 65%increase. The 27,71% of the position of the hyoid bone presents a normal curve of the column, 68,67% kyphosis, and the cervical column rectifies a 4,81%. In Steiner analysis the skeletal class that predomines were class II with the 90%. In the dental analysis the inclination of the upper incisors presentes a 75% of proinclination and the lower incisors presents a 71% of proinclination. While the position of the upper incisors were 53% in retrusion and lower incisors were 70% protruding. CONCLUSIONS: it was a significant relationship between patients who were studied with the craniocervical posture and occlusion because the huge porcentage that have patients of 92% presents a increase cranium rotation an to make a relation with the dental type according Steiner in the inclination of upper incisor the 75% and 71% of lower incisors presents a proinclination, while the position of the upper incisors the 53% has retrusion and the lower incisors has 70% protruding.
