Abstract:
INTRODUCTION- As hereditary, functional, environmental, sexual, nutritional and metabolic factors influence normal growth and development. Considering, the prevalence of malnutrition in children’s. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a reliable index that is widely accepted within professional groups as the ‘gold standard’ for determining whether a child is underweight or overweight. Dental development is used as indices of growth and maturation during childhood since teeth develop and erupt in characteristic sequences and within predictable changes. As Nutritional deprivation is known to affect most body systems in the growing child. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and dental development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in 120 children’s who came for treatment in saveetha dental college, Chennai. Occlusal traits were recorded using Angle’s classification of malocclusion and skeletal development following which their BMI was calculated by measuring their height and weight according to the metric standards. RESULTS: The results of this study proved that there is increased prevalence of malocclusion in children with underweight BMI than those with normal BMI. The prevalence of malocclusion in underweight children with Class I (60 percent), Class II (19.1 percent), class III (3.3 percent) was found significant than the children with normal BMI with Class I (13.3 percent), Class II (3.3 percent), Class III (0.8 percent). CONCLUSION - Dental age and dental development are important issues in orthodontics. Delays in the appearance of permanent teeth, is a concern for many parents, both genetic and environmental factors may affect dental development. BMI is one of the factors thought to be related to dental development. Accelerated dental development in children is an important variable to consider in pediatric dental and orthodontic treatment planning where timing is crucial.
