Objetive. To observe the types of soft facial profile according to the angles of facial convexity (FCA) and total facial convexity (TFCA), in addition to evaluating their relationship with the distal position of the primary second molars in children between 3 and 5 years. Methods. Twenty-eight out of 200 children with complete primary dentition were examined to determine the distal relation of primary second molars, and a digital photographic examination of their lateral profile was performed to evaluate the ACF and ACFT. With the Fisher's exact test, soft tissue profiles were compared according to age and gender, and with Student t test for a single sample, the angular averages were evaluated. Results. The mean of the FCA was 167.1 ° ± 5.1, and the TFCA was 145.8 ° ± 3.7. A high convexity of the FCA was observed in 21.4% of the children, medium in 60.7% and low in 17.9%. While in th...

Objetive. The present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of dentomaxillary anomalies in children aged 3 to 10 years old who requested attention at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Chile in the year 2018. Methods. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, where the universe corresponded to the patients attended in the SWU (Student Work Unit) of the Child and Adolescent Clinic of the 4th year of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Chile. Cohort 2018. For the evaluation of dentomaxillary anomalies, the Modified Bonn Biogenetic Classification was considered. Intermaxillary abnormalities. Results. Of the total sample analyzed (n: 106), 45.1% of the patients presented transverse, vertical and/or sagittal type alterations. Conclusions. The most prevalent transversal anomaly was the unilateral cross bite. The most prevalent vertical anomaly was the deep b...
