Resumo
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of malocclusion, the need for orthodontic treatment and dentofacial changes in girls with Precocious Puberty (PP). This work gave rise to two distinct studies and data analyzes including descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, paired t-test and t-test for one sample: 1- the cross-sectional study included 39 girls (6 to 11 years old) with confirmed PP diagnosis. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) were used for malocclusion evaluation and need for orthodontic treatment. Cephalometric analyzes were performed for the diagnosis of facial growth abnormalities. There was a high prevalence (64.1%) of severe and very severe malocclusion (DAI grades 3 and 4) and 82.1% of cases requiring moderate to high treatment (IOTN grades 3 and 4). 2- the control case study included 39 girls (6 to 11 years old) with confirmed PP diagnosis (case group). In this group, dental panoramic and hand and wrist radiographs were made. The control group consisted in 78 panoramic radiographs of girls without PP, randomly selected. Each panoramic radiograph of the 39 from case group was compared with two radiographs from control group, that is, a ratio of 1: 2. The chronological chart of dental mineralization of Nicodemus was used to identify the dental age. A significant difference (p <0.001) was found between chronology and bone age. Dental age (mean = 117) was lower than bone age (mean = 123) in girls with PP, but higher than dental age (mean = 111.5) in the control group. There was a significant correlation between chronological age and dental age. It was concluded that PP can have an impact on the development of dentition and craniofacial growth, a relevant factor for the diagnosis and the choice of the best moment for orthopedic / orthodontic intervention in malocclusion.
