- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the period of breastfeeding and the development of the upper dental arch. Fifty-eight children between 3 and 6 years old were evaluated at the Children and Baby Dental Clinic of the UIGV "Pueblo Libre"- Lima. In the study casts were measured the type of arc, the presence of primate spaces, palatal depth, shape, length, perimeter and width of the upper arch, finding statistically significant difference (p <0.05) through chi-square test at intermolar distance in the deciduous upper dental arch for a suitable mixed breastfeeding. Further, the other characteristics show more prevalence with no statistically significant difference. In conclusion, in this research was found a relationship between the period of breastfeeding and the intermolar distance in the deciduous upper dental arch.
