BENITEZ DE FORCADELL, Stela Mary e SAMUDIO, Margarita. Relation between skeletal class and foot type in children from Asunción and Luque, Paraguay. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.2, pp.44-55. ISSN 2072-8174. https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2022.dic.02.044.055.
Introduction:
there is evidence in the literature that suggests a possible relationship between dental malocclusions and foot type alterations.
Objective:
to determine the relationship between skeletal class and foot type in children who attended the Facult of Dentistry of the Universidad Nacional de Asunción and a private practice in the period 2000 to 2018.
Materials and methods:
non-probabilistic sampling of consecutive cases; children of both sexes were included, from 5 to 15 years old with skeletal class I, II and III. Data: age, sex, skeletal type (Class I = 0 to 4; Class II = 4 to 0; Class III = <0) and foot types (0 - 34 % flat foot; 35 - 39 % flat/normal foot; 40 - 54 % normal foot; 55 - 59 % normal/cavus foot; 60 - 74 % cavus foot; 75 - 84 % strong cavus foot; 85 - 100 % extreme cavus foot), recorded in a Microsoft Excel© spreadsheet, transferred to the Epi-infoTM program, version 3.5.3 and the Chi-square test was performed.
Results:
250 patients were included in the study, of which 52.8 % were female. Of the total skeletal class I patients, 40.5 % had a cavus foot type. No statistically significant association was found between the skeletal class and the foot type.
Conclusion:
no association was found between skeletal class and foot in children who attended the Faculty of Dentistry of the Universidad Nacional de Asunción and a private practice in the period 2000 to 2018.
