Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of pacifier-sucking habit with occlusal and oral myofunctional alterations in preschool children. Eighty-four 2-to 5-year-old children participated in the study. Data on duration and frequency of pacifier use were collected from parents or guardians. Occlusal and oral myofunctional characteristics were examined by a dentist and a speech therapist, respectively. Chi-square tests and Poisson regression were used to analyze the data. The occlusal charact… Show more

“…Therefore, although the vast majority of parents report that the bottle habit can cause damage to their children's teeth, Garbin et al 13 revealed that they encountered a high degree of difficulty to remove it, because removal involves modification of eating habits and replacing the supply of milk. This same difficulty was pointed out by the guardians of children involved in this study, indicating that this reluctant behavior deserves special attention from dentists, who should instruct parents not to use bottles if possible, or at least remove this habit earlier 9,18 .…”

“…This study is important because it demonstrates the need to broaden actions dealing with malocclusions, and to implement prevention/interception programs in the initial period of orofacial development. Although a number of studies 5-8 describe deleterious oral habits as important etiological factors in the development of malocclusions in deciduous and mixed dentures, according to Nihi et al 9 , dentists must advise parents and guardians of the risks of prolonged indulgence in sucking habits and of the importance for children to receive preventive multidisciplinary care to minimize future risks.…”

“…Maia-Nader et al 17 found that short periods of breastfeeding predisposed children to the installation and maintenance of non-nutritive sucking habits (e.g., pacifier use and thumb sucking). Malocclusions that are associated with non-nutritive sucking habits include anterior open bite, changes in the intercanine relationship, posterior crossbite, and increased overjet 15 .…”

“…This may be explained by the absence of association between breastfeeding for a short period of time, non-nutritive sucking habits, and posterior crossbite. Other factors contribute to the development of a posterior crossbite, such as mouth breathing 15,[17][18][19] .…”
