- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoPrevalencia de maloclusiones en niños del proyecto juntos por una sonrisa(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cárdenas Amendaño, Cristopher Andrés; Crespo Crespo, Mercedes Cristina; 0302737143The project "Juntos por una sonrisa" (Tied Together with a Smile) aims to identify the prevalence of malocclusions in children and determine its most common type according to gender and age. This research employed a quantitative approach and descriptive design, conducting an observational and retrospective study using clinical and system records. The sample comprised 447 children from various locations, such as Javier Loyola, Azogues, La Troncal, Borrero, and Cañar. The results revealed that children aged 8-10 had the highest prevalence of malocclusions (36% in males and 31% in females). There was no significant association between Angle's malocclusions and gender, although Type I was the most prevalent in both genders. Additionally, no relationship was found between age and the Angle's malocclusion types. In conclusion, Angle's Type I malocclusion was the most frequent (96%), followed by Type II (3%) and Type III (1%). No significant differences in prevalence were observed between gender or age, suggesting that the types of malocclusion could be related to genetic, environmental, or developmental factors. These findings underscore the need for further studies to better understand the causes and consequences of malocclusions, enabling the development of more effective prevention and treatment strategies for affected children.
