Dental malocclusions present the third-highest prevalence among oral pathologies. The occlusion is evaluated in primary, mixed and permanent dentition. Most orthodontic patients are treated in the early permanent dentition. Early detection of dental anomalies is important to prevent complications and can have short- and long-term benefits. The aepidemiological data on the prevalence of malocclusion are an important determinant in planning appropriate orthodontic services. Dentists have the responsibility to recognise, diagnose, and treat or refer anomalies. Data from previous studies showed that the incidence of malocclusions expands from 11% to 93%. The aim of the study is to find out the prevalence and types of malocclusions in schoolchildren during four school years and how they were registered by four general dentists in their offices.

斯洛文尼亚学童正畸错牙合的患病率。一项前瞻性流行病学研究。

牙齿咬合不正是口腔疾病中第三高的患病率。在乳牙列、混合牙列和恒牙列中评估咬合情况。大多数正畸患者在早期恒牙列中接受治疗。早期发现牙齿异常对于预防并发症很重要，并且可以带来短期和长期的好处。咬合不正流行率的流行病学数据是规划适当的正畸服务的重要决定因素。牙医有责任识别、诊断、治疗或转诊异常。以往研究的数据显示，咬合不正的发生率从 11% 扩大到 93%。该研究的目的是了解四个学年中学童咬合不正的流行率和类型，以及四位全科牙医如何在他们的办公室进行登记。
