Introducción: El impacto de las variables sociodemográficas sobre la prevalencia y las consecuencias de la maloclusión es difícil de determinar.Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y severidad de las características cefalométricas de pacientes y su relación con los hábitos orales y factores sociodemográficos. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional de corte transversal analítico mediante evaluación calibrada (Kappa > 0.8) de 140 radiografías cefálicas laterales e historias clínicas, de pacientes que acudieron al Postgrado de Ortodoncia de la Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín) del 2012-2015 y cumplieron los criterios de selección. Se utilizaron pruebas paramétricas (p < 0.05) para relacionar las características cefalométricas y sociodemográficas: coeficiente de correlación de Pearson y prueba t de Student para variables cuantitativas (p < 0.05); razón de momios (RM) para indagar la relación de las características sociodemográficas y cefalométricas presentes en la maloclusión. Resultados: La mayoría fueron pacientes jóvenes (46.2%) de estratos bajo y medio-bajo (91.4%) y acudieron por razones estéticas, principalmente (85%). La maloclusión clase II fue la más prevalente (45.7%), mientras que la clase III se consultó por problemas funcionales (RM = 4.09; IC 95% 1.5-11.1). Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la clasificación vertical de la maloclusión (hipo-, normo- e hiperdivergente) con los hábitos orales de succión (p = 0.019), deglución atípica (p = 0.045) y respiración bucal (p = 0.036). Conclusiones: Las características sociodemográficas no influyen en la maloclusión. Los hábitos orales se relacionan con maloclusiones verticales. El motivo primordial de consulta fue el estético. La maloclusión clase II fue la más común y los pacientes clase III parecen estar más conscientes de sus problemas funcionales.

“…This variation in prevalence rates by different researchers is very likely due to differences in study design such as the age groups studied, type of study and sampling methods [12]. Some authors have noted that the prevalence of digital sucking decreases as the age increases [13] while others have not [11,14].…”

“…Where n = minimum sample size; Z = confidence interval at 95% = 1.96; P = best estimate of the population prevalence = 9% [8] = 0.09; q = complementary probability (1-p) = 0.91; d = degree of precision, set at 5%. Thus, the ideal representative sample for the present study was calculated as n = [(1.96) 2 × 0.09 × 0.91] ÷ (0.05) 2 = 126 10% (13) was added for non-responders. Thus, the total minimum sample size was 139.…”

Background: Sucking of the digits is the most common oral habit found in children. It is a form of non-nutritive sucking which appears to be influenced by various factors. When the habit becomes prolonged, it can lead to both dental and hand complications. Breastfeeding is one of the factors known to be protective against this habit in children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of digital sucking in our environment and the influence of breastfeeding/exclusive breast feeding including various sociodemographic variables on this habit in children in our environment.Methods: This study was a cross sectional, questionnaire-based study administered to one hundred and forty-five caregivers of children aged 0-18 years who attended the children's outpatient clinic of the hospital, consecutively recruited over a period of three months. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science(SPSS) version 20.Results: 145 respondents were analysed. The prevalence of digital sucking was 32.4% (95% CI = 0.25-0.41) while the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 47.6% (67 out of 144).Exclusive breastfeeding and digit sucking demonstrated a significant negative association. Children who were exclusively breastfed were less likely to suck their fingers with a significant p-value of 0.025-univariate analysis (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.11-4.70). This finding was sustained on multivariate analysis with children who were exclusively breastfed having approximately a three times reduction in the odds of sucking their finger (p = 0.09; 95% CI). There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.252; OR = 0.96; 95% CI = 0.89-1.03) between the mean total duration of breastfeeding for children who sucked their fingers compared with their siblings who did not suck their fingers (9.73 ± 4.90 vs. 10.98 ± 5.14 months). A history of both parents sucking had a positive association with digital sucking with a significant p-value of 0.036 (OR = 4.63; 95% CI = 1.11-19.40)-univariate analysis. Conclusion:Prevalence of digital sucking in this study was 32.4% with children who were exclusively breastfed being less likely to suck their digits when compared to those who were not. Duration of breastfeeding beyond 6 months did not confer any additional advantage. A history of parental sucking was significantly associated with subsequent digital sucking in the children studied.

“…They may become harmful or damaging when occurring extensively or inappropriately . [3] Thumb sucking, digit sucking, pacifiers, bottle feeding, mouth breathing, and tongue thrusting are some of the oral habits which can lead to deleterious effects hence called parafunctional or nonphysiologic habits . [4] Oral health promotion should be integrated into the existing preventive programs which have been implemented by medical professionals.…”

To assess the knowledge and practice of preschool teachers of Namakkal district towards digit-sucking habits in children Material and Methods: The questionnaires distributed to 300 study participants included questions of knowledge of habit, their approach toward thumb-sucking habits in school children, and their willingness to refer children to dentists. A simple random sampling method was employed. A single examiner conducted the survey and evaluated the data, this was done to avoid inter-examiner bias. Descriptive statistics were obtained and presented in tables and graphs. Statistical analysis was performed to gain further insight into the practices of preschool teachers regarding digit-sucking habits in children, using SPSS software (Version 25). Results: Out of 300 who participated in the study 80.3% were aware of thumb sucking habit. Out of the total respondent teachers, 69.7% observed the habit in children and 64.3% noted abnormal features in the oral cavity. Fifty-three-point-three percent of preschool teachers were aware of the dentist's role in managing the thumb-sucking habit and its associated malocclusion. Conclusions: This study inferred that preschool teachers have brief knowledge and practice regarding digitsucking habits, and further programs should be provided to enhance their knowledge.
