Abstract

Objective: To compare dentofacial anomalies according to sex in dental students at a public university in
Ica-Peru. Material and methods: Observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study, carried out at the
Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga; during the year 2019, 60 dental students participated. Orthodontic
study models were used and the severity of the malocclusions was evaluated with the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). Variables were described and differences were evaluated using Chi-square. Results: The most
frequent dentofacial anomalies were dental crowding (83.3%); maximum mandibular irregularity (73.3%);
maximum maxillary irregularity (65%); anteroposterior molar relation (46.7%) and maxillary overlapping
(33.3%). The maximum mandibular irregularity (38.3%) and maxillary irregularity (35%) was higher in the
female sex; as well as molar relation in anteroposterior direction (28.3%); maxillary overlapping (23.3%), was
higher in the male sex. Conclusions: It was shown that there are no statistical differences between the
presence of dentofacial anomalies according to the sex of the dental students.
