Correlación de la fuerza lingual durante la protrusión con la edad, la estatura y el peso en niñas con normo-oclusión

Abstract

To establish if there is a relation between growth and the effect of the lingual force that could infer upon dental oclusion, a study of the comparative descriptive transverse curve, measuring the lingual protusion force with an external glosometer in girls with ages between 7 - 11 years with a molar oclusion class !, with the presence of the four ! permanent molars in the mouth, and that they had not received ortopedics or ortodontics. Also the weight, height and age were determined as represetativevariables of growth. When comparing this variables with the lingual protusion force, a positive relation with age, height was found, and also the relation of another thing that was found help us establish that there is a relation between growth and lingual force that could affect the dental oclusion in this ages.
