Abstract

Objective: Determine the prevalence of occlusal asymmetry in schoolchildren aged 5 to 10 years, who attended the Pediatric Department of the Faculty of Dentistry of Universidad Central del Ecuador during the period 2019-2020. Materials and methods: An intraoral and extraoral clinical evaluation was performed on 297 patients. The information was compiled in a table designed for this research Statistics: The results were statistically analyzed using the SPSS program applying the Chi square test with a reliability level of 95%. Results: The asymmetric canine relationship occurred in a lower percentage compared to the asymmetric molar relationship. There is an asymmetric canine relationship with more prevalence in the mixed dentition than in the primary dentition. Regarding the asymmetric molar relationship, it was evidenced less frequently in the primary dentition than in the mixed dentition. The dental midline coincided in half of the patients analyzed. The facial midline coincides in most cases. Conclusion: The prevalence of canine asymmetric relationship in the participants was lower than the molar asymmetric relationship, with a higher percentage in the mixed dentition. Most participants had a coincident dental and facial midline.
