Abstract
The interaction between dental development and craniofacial morphology in pediatric patients is a crucial topic in dentistry and orthodontics. This research aimed to systematically analyze these interdependencies through the MICMAC technique, classifying variables into four categories: key, determinants, autonomous, and results. An exhaustive bibliographic review was carried out and a direct influence/dependency matrix was created, assessing the relationships through the contribution of experts. Subsequently, a structural analysis was carried out to categorize the identified variables. Dental development and craniofacial morphology in pediatric patients are intricately interconnected. Occlusion and maxillomandibular growth emerged as key elements. Dental age, eruption sequence, dental anomalies, development of the temporomandibular joint, and facial profile play determinant roles. Measurements of facial morphology, nasolabial angle, and facial symmetry are considered autonomous. And the maxillomandibular relationship reflects the results of dental and craniofacial development. This study provides a solid basis for planning orthodontic, orthopedic, and stomatological treatments in pediatric patients. Additionally, it offers a comprehensive framework for dental health care and improves the quality of life in this constantly growing and developing population.
