O propósito deste estudo foi contribuir para a análise da epidemiologia da oclusão dentária na infância e discutir a implicação para os sistemas de saúde, examinando dados de prevalência de uma amostra probabilística (n=985) da população de 5 e 12 anos de idade na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil (1996); e estudos epidemiológicos transversais publicados nos últimos 70 anos. A prevalência na cidade, cresceu de 49,0 ± 4,5 por cento na dentição decídua para 71,3 ± 3,9 por cento na dentição permanente (p<0,001), sendo que a chance de ocorrência de oclusopatia moderada/severa foi quase duas vezes maior na segunda dentição (OR=1,87; IC95 por cento =1,43-2,45; p

Abstract in English

The purpose of this study was to analyze some epidemiological aspects of dental occlusal problems at childhood and to discuss their implications for health systems. It were used prevalence data of a probabilistic sample (n=985) of five and twelve years old schoolchildren in São Paulo City, Brazil (1996); and cross-sectional data of studies published in the last 70 years. The results showed that the proportion of these problems in the city increased from 49.0 ± 4.5 per cent at deciduous dentition to 71.3 ± 3.9 per cent at permanent dentition (p
