ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare the width of the dental arches between overweight and non-overweight subjects . Materials and

Methods:

A cross-sectional comparative study was carried out with 54 subjects from 8 to 13 years of age, 27 normal-weight and 27 overweight. The presence of overweight was assessed according to the Quetelet index. To determine the width of the dental arches, measurements of the upper and lower intercanine and intermolar width were obtained with a digital calibrated Vernier caliper. The comparison between the dental arch width of normal-weight and overweight subjects was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test.

Results:

Statistically significant differences were found in the intercanine and intermolar widths between overweight and non-overweight subjects (p<0.05).

Conclusion:

The dental arches were wider in overweight subjects compared to those of normal-weight.
RESUMEN
Comparar los anchos de los arcos dentarios en sujetos con sobrepeso y sin sobrepeso. Materiales y

Método:

Se realizó un estudio transversal comparativo. Se evaluaron 54 sujetos de 8 a 13 años de edad, 27 sin sobrepeso y 27 con sobrepeso. La presencia de sobrepeso se evaluó según el índice de Quetelet. Para determinar los anchos de los arcos dentarios, se analizaron, en los modelos de estudio de cada grupo, las medidas de los anchos intercanino e intermolar superior e inferior con un vernier calibrado digital. La comparación de los anchos de los arcos dentarios de los sujetos con sobrepeso y sin sobrepeso se realizó mediante la prueba U de Mann-Whitney.

Resultados:

Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los anchos intercanino e intermolar entre los sujetos con sobrepeso y sin sobrepeso (p<0.05).

Conclusión:

Los anchos de los arcos dentarios fueron mayores en sujetos con sobrepeso que en sujetos sin sobrepeso.
