Resumen

lntroduction: The child with primary dentition may have malocclusions which will remain in subsequent periods. Material and method: In a transversal sample of 267 Galician children with primary dentition, teeth and dental arches were measured and occlusion was reflected. These are related by statistical methods in order to find out how teeth and dental arches sizes have an influence on different occlusal aspects (diastems, canine and molar occlusion, crossbite, overjet and overbite). Results and conclusions: Dental arches with diastems are wider, deeper and of a bigger perimeter than those without diastems. There are no differences in teeth sizes. The distocclusion and the croosbite have narrower maxilary arches than normal occlusive population, but there are no differences in mandibular arch sizes. lncreased overjet and open bite are linked.
