Özet:

 

Purpose The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of occlusal traits and to evaluate  the orthodontic treatment need among children aged 8-9 years in Al Ahsa, Eastern  region of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 282 Saudi children who  were randomly selected from those visiting dental outpatient clinics at the College  of dentistry in King Faisal University, AlAhsa. All the children were evaluated using  the  DHC  and  AC  components  of  Index  of  Orthodontic  Treatment  Need  (IOTN).   Descriptive  statistics,  chisquare  test  and  Fisher’s  Exact  test  were  used  for  data   analysis with statistical significance set at p< 0.05. Results The most prevalent malocclusal trait was crowding (39.7%) followed by increased  overjet  (28.4%).    About  30.9%  and  17%  of  the  children  were  in  definite  need  for   orthodontic treatment according to DHC and AC of IOTN, respectively. There was no  statistical  difference  in  the  distribution  of  DHC  (p=0.116)  and  AC  (p=0.177)  scores   between the gender. Conclusion This  study  demonstrated  high  percentage  of  malocclusal  traits  and  orthodontic   treatment need in the mixed dentition period among 8-9-year-old children in the  Eastern  region.  Emphasis  should  be  placed  on  early  orthodontic  screening  and   treatment in the mixed dentition stage of dental development.
