To evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and dental development in the children in age-group of 6-13 years of Malwa region.
A total of 250 orthopantomograms (OPGs) of children aged 6-13 years (130 males and 120 females) collected from the Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Government College of Dentistry, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, who came for their routine dental treatment. The chronological age, height, and weight were recorded, followed by calculating the BMI of each patient using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts. The dental age was calculated using Cameriere's method. The comparison of the dental and chronological age was done using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
The dental age of underweight patients was significantly lesser than that of the normal, overweight, and obese patients (-value of <0.05). The dental age of the obese patients were greatest and significantly greater than that of the underweight, normal, and overweight patients (-value of <0.05).
Dental age is significantly associated with the BMI of children aged 6-13 years. The dental age of obese and overweight children is significantly greater than the chronological age.
Predicting the stage of dental development and eruption periods in children with mixed dentition can help with the sequencing and timing of orthodontic, prosthodontic, and surgical procedures.

评估马尔瓦地区6至13岁儿童的体重指数（BMI）与牙齿发育之间的关系。
从印度中央邦印多尔政府牙科学院儿童与预防牙科部门收集了250张6至13岁儿童的口腔全景片（OPG）（130名男性和120名女性），这些儿童前来接受常规牙科治疗。记录其实际年龄、身高和体重，然后使用美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）生长图表计算每位患者的BMI。采用卡梅里埃方法计算牙齿年龄。使用威尔科克森符号秩检验对牙齿年龄和实际年龄进行比较。
体重过轻患者的牙齿年龄显著低于正常、超重和肥胖患者（P值<0.05）。肥胖患者的牙齿年龄最大，且显著高于体重过轻、正常和超重患者（P值<0.05）。
牙齿年龄与6至13岁儿童的BMI显著相关。肥胖和超重儿童的牙齿年龄显著大于实际年龄。
预测混合牙列期儿童的牙齿发育阶段和萌出时期有助于正畸、修复和外科手术的顺序安排和时机选择。
