Abstract

Some risk factors are present during the growth of children and exert their influence on the development of the maxillaries and dentition. In order to determine  the risk factors associated with occlusion anomalies, a descriptive crosssectional correlational study was conducted from May 2005 to May 2006. The study group was  made up of 635 children aged 2-5 from the health area III of Cienfuegos municipality. A representative sample was obtained by a randomized stratified probabilistic sampling method from which 209 children were examined. Significant results were observed in the presence of deforming habits in 76.1 % of the cases, followed by the absence of interincisive diastemas with 42.6 %, transversal micrognathism in 37.3 %, absence of the space of the upper primate (35,9 %), inheritance in 23,8 %, as well as malnutrition and distal step in 3.8 % of the patients. It was confirmed how important it is for the comprehensive general stomatologists to know and detect the risk factors appearing at early ages to prevent occlusion anomalies.
