CORRELATION OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS AND PERMANENT TEETH ERUPTION

Abstract

Objectives: to study the relationship between the eruption of permanent teeth and indicators of physical development Material and methods: in the course of the study, a dental examination of 1 456 children and adolescents of both sexes aged from 5 to 14 years old was conducted in the schools of the city of Karaganda and Temirtau. Anthropometric measurements were carried out: length and body weight, the BMI was determined. Statistical processing was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 for OS Windows Results and discussions: there was no significant relationship between the level of body length and the number of permanent teeth in the oral cavity. There was also no significant correlation between the level of body weight and the number of permanent teeth in the oral cavity. There is a direct correlation between the level of BMI and the number of permanent teeth in the oral cavity. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.071, with a bilateral significance of 0.008. Conclusion, teething is in close connection with the general state of health, and the length and body weight separately are not indicative.
