OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between caries and @entity3232 in the early and late mixed dentition in a population of @entity1 of Chinese migrant workers in Shanghai. METHODS: Dental charts were obtained for 646 @entity1 in the mixed dentition, aged between 6 and 13 years old. The decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index and interproximal tooth structure lost due to caries (ITSLC) were evaluated. RESULTS: In the early mixed dentition, @entity2632 was more likely to be ideal in subjects with DMFT > 0. In the late mixed dentition, crowding in both arches was greater in subjects with DMFT > 0. In the total sample, crowding in the lower arch only was greater in subjects with DMFT > 0. In the early mixed dentition, @entity3232 was lower in subjects with ITSLC in the upper arch and in both arches and the rate of anterior crossbite was higher in subjects with ITSLC in the upper arch. In the late mixed dentition, @entity2632 was more likely to be ideal in subjects with ITSLC in the upper arch and @entity3232 was greater in subjects with ITSLC in both arches. In the total sample, @entity2632 was more likely to be ideal in subjects with ITSLC in the upper arch and lower crowding was greater in subjects with ITSLC in both arches. CONCLUSION: A relationship exists between caries and @entity3232 , and between ITSLC and @entity3232 , and some relationships may change with dental age.
