Abstract
Title: The prematurity impact on the skeletal base’s discrepancies on the\r\nadolescence: a descriptive study\r\n Name: Kaihami PN, Vieira SMPAC, Takaoka LAMV, Kopelman\r\nBS, Goulart AL.\r\n Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP)- Escola Paulista de\r\nMedicina\r\nIn Brazil, the population based showed 11.7% preterm birth prevalence in 2013. The\r\nprematurity brings repercussions on the early childhood (lower values in birth weight,\r\nheight and head circumference when we compare with the values of a full term child) .\r\nPremature birth has affected the morphology of the craniofacial complex. The aim of this\r\nstudy is to evaluate the preterm birth impact on skeletal base’s discrepancies (maxilla and\r\nmandible) and dento alveolar developmental of 30 adolescents (10 to 13 years at present),\r\nwho had premature births. Our sample was divided in two groups according to the\r\ncalculated average value of birth’s head circumferences, based on head circumference\r\nspecific for gestational age and gender by Olsen curve. The median value was 28cm.\r\nThus, 14 (46.7%) children had head circumferences at birth lower or equal to 28cm and\r\nwere classified in the group HC≤28cm and 16 (53.6%) another children were classified in\r\nthe group HC>28cm. The plasters models were measured by Korkhaus analyses. We can\r\nobserve that has a higher percentage of anterior atresia between children classified with\r\nHC≤28cm (21.4%) when we compare with the group HC>28cm (6.2%). Despite of\r\nstatistical test did not detected meaningful statically between the groups (p=0.315), we can\r\nobserve a relation between head circumference and anterior atresia in this population.
