K Heikinheimo

The purpose of the investigation was to determine the need of orthodontic treatment in 7-year-old Finnish children. The series consisted of 200 Finnish children, 100 girls and 100 boys. With regard to the main lines of occlusion a close agreement was observed between the prevalence of malocclusion in this and other. Scandinavian series. The need of orthodontic treatment was assessed using a treatment scale for the age group concerned. No treatment was required in 42% of the children, while 23.5% were in immediate need of orthodontic treatment. In 34.5% it was considered necessary to follow the occlusal development.
