Inadequate masticatory function can be linked to oral problems and result in functional limitation. In children, this function is extremely important for their development, and therefore efforts are made to keep it adequate. To evaluate whether dental pain-related behaviors are associated with masticatory performance (MP).

- A study was conducted to assess the link between occlusal characteristics and dental trauma in preschool children aged 3-5 in Brazil, using a sample of 200 matched cases and controls.
- The results indicated that anterior open bite was significantly associated with an increased risk of dental trauma (OR = 3.80), while other occlusal factors like maxillary anterior crowding and overjet showed less consistent relationships after adjustments.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that anterior open bite is a key risk factor for dental trauma in young children, regardless of other influencing factors.
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the impact of third molar removal on patient's quality of life.
Methods: To address the study purpose, investigators designed and implemented a systematic review. The primary outcome variable was the quality of life after third molar extraction.
