Chen H, Lin L, Chen J, Huang F. Prevalence of Malocclusion Traits in Primary Dentition, 2010-2024: A Systematic Review. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:1321. [PMID: 38998856 PMCID: PMC11241413 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12131321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The present review was aimed to describe the prevalence and the regional distribution of malocclusion among preschool children worldwide. Two independent reviewers performed a systematic literature search to identify English publications from January 2010 to May 2024 using PubMed, ISI Web of Science and Embase. Search MeSH key words were "malocclusion", "primary dentition" and "child, preschool". The reporting quality was assessed by the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. We identified 2599 publications and recruited 47 articles. Fourteen of the included studies were conducted in Asia, four in Europe, twenty-eight in South America and one in Africa. The prevalence of malocclusion ranged from 28.4% to 83.9%, and half of the reported prevalences were higher than 50%. The highest percentage was in Asia (61.81%), followed by Europe (61.50%), South America (52.69%) and Africa (32.50%). Statistically significant differences existed in deep overbite, anterior open bite, posterior crossbite, edge-to-edge incisor relationship and distal step between continents (p < 0.05). Europe showed the highest prevalence (33.08%) of deep overbite. Africa showed the highest prevalence (18.60%) of anterior open bite. Europe showed the highest prevalence (15.38%) of posterior crossbite. The most common malocclusion traits were increased overjet and deep overbite. To conclude, malocclusion remained prevalent in the primary dentition and varied between countries.

Bruun SN, Hansen C, Sonnesen L. Sleepiness in children with severe malocclusion compared with in children with neutral occlusion. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2024; 165:593-601. [PMID: 38363255 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2023.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to compare daytime sleepiness in children with severe malocclusion with healthy children with neutral occlusion (controls) and to analyze associations between daytime sleepiness and craniofacial morphology in children with severe malocclusion. METHODS In 120 children with severe malocclusion (73 girls, 47 boys; mean age, 11.96 years; mean body mass index [BMI] score, 18.97 kg/m2) and 35 controls (18 girls, 17 boys; mean age, 11.97 years; mean BMI score, 20.28 kg/m2), sleep and daytime sleepiness were recorded using Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Berlin Questionnaire. Occlusion was registered clinically, and craniofacial morphology was assessed on lateral cephalograms. Differences in daytime sleepiness and sleep between the groups and associations between daytime sleepiness and sleep and craniofacial morphology were analyzed by a general linear model adjusted for age, gender, and BMI score. RESULTS Daytime sleepiness occurred significantly more often in children with malocclusion than in control subjects (P = 0.015). There was a tendency for children with malocclusion to feel extremely tired during the day more often than controls (P = 0.054). There was no significant difference between the groups in sleeping hours during night-time, but the amount of sleep was negatively associated with age (P <0.001) and BMI score (P = 0.004). Only maxillary inclination was significantly associated with daytime sleepiness (P = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS Daytime sleepiness occurred significantly more often in children with severe malocclusion than in those with neutral occlusion, and the association between daytime sleepiness and craniofacial morphology may exist. The results might prove valuable in interdisciplinary collaboration between medical doctors and orthodontists in diagnostics, prevention, and treatment of children at risk for sleep-disordered breathing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Literature presents conflicting results regarding malocclusions, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and sleep bruxism in children with ADHD. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of these parameters. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 40 consecutive ADHD children referred to the Paediatric Dentistry Unit of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario "A. Gemelli" IRCCS, Rome. All subjects underwent an orthodontic examination and were screened for OSA and sleep bruxism. Data were compared to a sex- and aged-matched control group. RESULTS Prevalence of high risk of OSA in children with ADHD was 62.5% compared to 10% in the control group (p < .00001). No differences were found in any of the occlusal variables examined between children with ADHD and controls (p > .05). An increased prevalence of sleep bruxism was observed in ADHD children (40%) compared to controls (7.5%) (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS A higher prevalence of OSA risk and probable sleep bruxism were observed in ADHD patients compared with controls. No significant differences were observed in malocclusions d.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to investigate Italian dentists' knowledge of and attitudes toward obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. Methods An anonymous questionnaire was prepared using Google Forms and sent to dentists in Italy through private social platforms. The first part of the questionnaire contained basic demographic data questions, and the second part included items about pediatric OSA. Results A total of 125 responses were collected within 1 month. The interviews revealed gaps in undergraduate and post-graduate training on OSA, and consequently, low self-evaluation of knowledge and self-confidence in managing young patients with OSA. Dentists showed unfavorable attitudes and poor knowledge of the general findings, risk factors, and consequences of pediatric OSA but demonstrated good knowledge of the beneficial effects of rapid maxillary expansion. Orthodontists showed a more favorable attitude and better recognition of the craniofacial features associated with OSA. In addition, a comparison was made between dentists who had graduated more than 5 years ago and new graduates, and differences were found in undergraduate education, which was better for new graduates, and a small number of questions were better answered by experienced dentists. Conclusion This study showed a lack of knowledge about pediatric OSA and its management among Italian dentists, revealing the need to update the dentistry curriculum and organize educational interventions.

Abstract
Exposure to risk factors in youth can exacerbate the development of future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by repetitive episodes of airway obstructions, could trigger said CVD acting as a modifiable risk factor. Measurements from echocardiography have shown impairments in the anatomy and function of the heart related to the severity of OSA. Therefore, the aim of this review was to propose a new clinical approach to the management of cardiovascular risk (CVR) in children based on treating OSA. The review includes studies assessing echocardiographic parameters for cardiac function and structure in pediatric OSA diagnosed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 1/h using polysomnography (PSG) and conducted within a year. Based on the reviewed evidence, in addition to PSG, echocardiography should be considered in OSA children in order to indicate the need for treatment and to reduce their future CVR. A follow-up echocardiography after treatment could be performed if impairments in the anatomy and function were found. Prioritizing parameters intimately connected to comorbidity could propel more effective patient-centered care. In conclusion, a reevaluation of pediatric OSA strategies should be considered, emphasizing comorbidity-related parameters in the cardiovascular field. Further studies are needed to assess this approach, potentially leading to enhanced protocols for more effective pediatric OSA treatment and CVR prevention.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate predictors of malocclusion in Brazilian schoolchildren eight to ten years of age based on a causal directed acyclic graph model. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 739 schoolchildren eight to ten years of age. Parents/guardians provided information on sleep disorders of the child (Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children) and family characteristics (Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale). The diagnosis of malocclusion was performed by four trained examiners using the Dental Aesthetic Index. Control variables were selected using a directed acyclic graph. Descriptive analysis was performed, followed by robust logistic regression analysis for complex samples (α = 5%). The following variables were associated with malocclusion in the final model: sleep disorders (OR = 2.61; 95%CI: 2.43-2.86), mouth breathing (OR = 1.04; 95%CI: 1.02-1.99), non-nutritive sucking habits (OR = 2.45; 95%CI: 2.37-4.85), and obesity (OR = 1.54; 95%CI: 1.02-2.33). Sociodemographic characteristics, family functioning, and premature tooth loss did not remain associated with malocclusion. Sleep disorders, mouth breathing, sucking habits, and obesity are predictors of malocclusion in schoolchildren eight to ten years of age.

Abstract
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) is a complex disease with multifactorial etiopathogenesis. The presence of craniofacial dysmorphisms influencing the patency of the upper airway is considered a risk factor for POSA development. The craniofacial features associated with sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) - craniosynostosis, retrognathia and micrognathia, midface and maxillary hypoplasia - have high heritability and, in a less severe form, could be also found in non-syndromic children suffering from POSA. As genetic factors play a role in both POSA and craniofacial dysmorphisms, we hypothesize that some genes associated with specific craniofacial features that are involved in the development of the orofacial area may be also considered candidate genes for POSA. The genetic background of POSA in children is less explored than in adults; so far, only one genome-wide association study for POSA has been conducted; however, children with craniofacial disorders were excluded from that study. In this narrative review, we discuss syndromes that are commonly associated with severe craniofacial dysmorphisms and a high prevalence of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD), including POSA. We also summarized information about their genetic background and based on this, proposed 30 candidate genes for POSA affecting craniofacial development that may play a role in children with syndromes, and identified seven of these genes that were previously associated with craniofacial features risky for POSA development in non-syndromic children. The evidence-based approach supports the proposition that variants of these candidate genes could lead to POSA phenotype even in these children, and, thus, should be considered in future research in the general pediatric population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the prevalence and independent risk factors of SDB, and explore its association with malocclusion among 6-11-year-old children in Shanghai, China. METHODS A cluster sampling procedure was adopted in this cross-sectional study. Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) was applied to evaluate the presence of SDB. Questionnaires including PSQ, medical history, family history, and daily habits/environment were completed by parents under instruction, and oral examinations were implemented by well-trained orthodontists. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify independent risk factors for SDB. Chi-square tests and Spearman's Rank Correlation were used to estimate the relationship between SDB and malocclusion. RESULTS A total of 3433 subjects (1788 males and 1645 females) were included in the study. The SDB prevalence was about 17.7%. Allergic rhinitis (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.09-1.79), adenotonsillar hypertrophy (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.82-3.19), paternal snoring (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.53-2.53), and maternal snoring (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05-1.73) were independent risk factors for SDB. The SDB prevalence was higher in children with retrusive mandibles than in proper or excessive ones. No significant difference was observed in the correlation between SDB and lateral facial profile, mandible plane angle, constricted dental arch form, the severity of anterior overjet and overbite, degree of crowding and spacing, and the presence of crossbite and open bite. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of SDB in primary students in the Chinese urban population was high and highly associated with mandible retrusion. The independent risk factors included Allergic rhinitis, adenotonsillar hypertrophy, paternal snoring, and maternal snoring. More efforts should be made to enhance public education about SDB and related dental-maxillofacial abnormalities.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate oral cavity morphology in children at risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). METHODS The study included children 3-17 years of age. The risk of SDB was evaluated using the paediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ); afterwards, children at risk of SDB were enrolled in the study group. A control group was randomly established from patients with negative PSQ results. The oral cavity morphology evaluation included assessment of the oropharynx using Mallampati classification (MC), palatine tonsil size using the Pirquet scale, occlusion and the presence of a high-arched palate and lingual frenulum. RESULTS A total of 131 children were evaluated, 65 in the study and 66 in the control group. The mean ages were 9.5 ± 3.0 and 9.4 ± 3.1 years, respectively. The presence of higher scores on the MC, higher scores in the Pirquet scale, a crossbite, a high-arched palate and a short frenulum were significantly more frequent in the study group than the control group. CONCLUSION The evaluation of oral morphology is an important part of paediatric examination. Enlarged palatine tonsils; higher scores on the MC; and the presence of a crossbite, short lingual frenulum and high-arched palate may suggest abnormal breathing during sleep in children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of adults and children seeking orthodontic treatment at high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and pediatric OSA (POSA) and its association with demographic variables. METHODS One hundred-eleven adults and 105 children were consecutively recruited from three centers. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and ESS for Children and Adolescents were used for Risk stratifications for OSA and POSA. RESULTS The prevalence of patients seeking orthodontic treatment at high risk of OSA/POSA was 27.8%, where 26.1% were adults, and 29.5% were children. High risk for OSA/POSA was not associated with gender, ethnicity, age, Body Mass Index, or neck circumference. CONCLUSION Approximately 26% of adults and 30% of children seeking orthodontic care were at high risk for OSA and POSA. Screening for OSA and POSA among adults and children seeking orthodontic treatment is imperative.

Sleep-disordered breathing in children and adolescents seeking paediatric dental care in Dubai, UAE. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2022; 23:485-494. [PMID: 35220544 DOI: 10.1007/s40368-022-00697-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the severity of high-risk SDB in children and adolescents seeking paediatric dental care. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has many untoward consequences that may interfere with children's health and is associated with several risk factors. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the convenience sample included 65 healthy children and adolescents aged 7-16. High-risk SDB breathing was assessed using the Paediatric-Sleep-Questionnaire consisting of 22 questions. High-risk was defined as a positive response to 33% or more of the questions. The clinical examination included: tonsils' size, Body-Mass Index, orthodontic examination, and enamel defects. RESULTS In this sample of 65 children with a mean age of 9.75 (± 2.60) years; 36 (55.4%) were boys, and 29 (44.6%) were girls. Overall, 12.3% of children in the sample were at high-risk of SDB, and this was significantly associated with tonsils' size (P = 0.001), Body-Mass Index (P = 0.03), Class-II molar relationship (P = 0.03), and posterior crossbite/s (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that approximately 12% of the sample studied were potentially at risk of SDB. Tonsils' size, Body-Mass Index, Class-II molar relationship, and posterior crossbite/s were positively associated with the risk of SDB. Therefore, the importance of investigating the risk for sleep-disordered breathing should not be disregarded.

Hansen C, Markström A, Sonnesen L. Sleep-disordered breathing and malocclusion in children and adolescents-a systematic review. J Oral Rehabil 2021; 49:353-361. [PMID: 34779522 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has negative influence on children's development and well-being. Malocclusion due to some craniofacial anatomical characteristics may be associated with SDB. OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper is to ascertain whether SDB is associated with malocclusion in children/adolescents, aged 6-15 years compared to healthy controls. METHODS Prospero ID: CRD42021232103. A systematic electronic literature search following PRISMA was performed in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were as follows: Healthy children/adolescents aged 6-15 years with malocclusion undergoing polysomnography (PSG) or polygraphy (PG) and/or sleep questionnaire and orthodontic screening; compared to a healthy age-matched control group with neutral or minor deviation in the occlusion without requirement for orthodontic treatment; publications in English, Danish, Norwegian or Swedish published until 23 March 2021. JBI Critical Appraisal Tools and GRADE were used to evaluate the risk of bias and level of evidence. RESULTS The search resulted in 1996 records, 610 duplicates were removed, 1386 records were screened, and 1322 records were excluded. Sixty-four studies were selected for full-text reading, and four publications fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The included studies had moderate risk of bias, and the quality of evidence was low. CONCLUSION No firm conclusion can be drawn regarding an association between specific malocclusion traits and SDB. Thus, the studies found no association between molar relationship and crowding and SDB symptoms in children. It may be recommended that future studies include objective PSG or PG in diagnosis of SDB and compare groups of children with skeletal malocclusion and controls with neutral malocclusion.
