“…In the incisal edges and occlusal surfaces of the teeth there is no alveolar bone, and this absence of bone support between the gum pad and the tooth is susceptible to trauma in the oral cavity, for example, at birth or in the neonatal period, which can have serious consequences (Primozic et al, 2014). What was observed in this report is that the prolonged fixed positioning of the OT provided an important alteration in the gum pad.…”

“…Most of the times PN and MLW require a prolonged period of hospitalization (Cassiano et al, 2020), being subjected to devices, such as orotracheal cannula, OT, and procedures, such as laryngoscopy, venous access, among others for the effectiveness of treatment such as ventilatory support, enteral and parenteral nutrition, administration of antibiotics and pharmacological therapies (steroids, surfactants and antibiotics), (Postiaux et al, 2018;Legge et al, 2019). The lower the gestational age and birth weight, the greater the tendency to use these procedures and interventions (Primozic et al, 2014).…”

With its institution, complications associated with orotracheal intubation are known, such as: ulceration or edema of the mucosa, hemorrhage, stenosis, pneumonia or sinusitis associated with invasive ventilation (Been et al,2014;Primozic, Farcnik, Ovsenik & Primozic, 2014;Postiaux, Maffei, Villiot-Danger & Dubus, 2018).…”

There are countless causes that lead a baby to be born premature: placental changes (placenta previa and premature detachment), excess amniotic fluid, maternal age (mothers under 18 years of age), maternal infections, primacy, use of alcohol and drugs. The premature baby's trajectory begins with hospitalization, usually for long periods in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), due to pulmonary immaturity and the need for prolonged ventilatory support. Gastric probing by oral or nasal route is an essential procedure in assisting nutrition for newborns up to thirty-four weeks of gestational age, as it does not have fully developed sucking and swallowing reflexes. The literature describes several oral changes present in premature and low birth weight children, highlighting an increase in the incidence of enamel defects, such as hypoplasia and hypomineralization, an increase in the incidence of dental caries, developmental and eruption delay of the primary dentition, dental and palate malformation. The aim was to report the clinical case of a premature infant with chronic use of an orogastric tube (OT) with lesion in the middle region of the upper lip and gum pad. After 24 hours of repositioning the OT, can be observed the lesion regression. Thus, the presence of the dentist in the NICUs, assisting with protocol and diagnostic measures, can minimize deleterious effects on the oral cavity. It should be noted that the training and applicability of dental protocols in NICUs improves safety in the care of the newborn.

“…Besides, pacifier suction was associated with overjet and posterior crossbite but not with anterior crossbite and crowding. These results are plausible 10,13 . Moreover, a pacifier was adequately inserted in the model as a mediator variable, as some different indirect pathways through pacifier suction were tested.…”

Objectives This study aimed to analyse the relationship between adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) and occlusal traits in the primary dentition, checking for different mediation paths. Setting and Sample Population Children evaluated at birth (T1), between 12 and 24 months (T2), and between 24 and 36 months (T3) were included. Two hundred and seventeen children who participated in T1 and T2 were randomly selected to perform the occlusion examination. Materials and Methods This is a prospective cohort study (BRISA). The theoretical model was tested by structural equation modelling (SEM), estimating standardized coefficients (Coeff.) (α = 0.05). The primary exposure was APO—a latent variable manifested from three health problems at birth: low birthweight (LBW), pre‐term birth (PTB) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), evaluated in T1. The outcomes were four different occlusal traits assessed in T3: overjet, anterior and posterior crossbite, and crowding. Each outcome's direct and indirect effects were tested, mediated by growth, breathing, breastfeeding, and pacifier use. Results There was no direct association between APO and any of the outcomes: overjet (Coeff. = −0.163, P = .241), anterior crossbite (Coeff. = −0.696, P = .065), posterior crossbite (Coeff. = −0.087, P = .589) and crowding (Coeff. = 0.400, P = .423). The indirect (total and specifics) effects tested also showed no association (P > .05). However, APO was associated with lower child growth in all models; breastfeeding was associated with higher child growth in all models, and pacifier use was associated with overjet (Coeff. = 0.184, P < .001) and posterior crossbite (Coeff. = 0.373, P = .011). Conclusion APO was not a risk factor for overjet, crossbite and crowding in an early stage of the primary dentition by direct and indirect pathways. However, growth has been lower in children with APO and higher in children breastfed. Also, the harmful effects of using a pacifier in dental occlusion are highlighted.

“…The prevalence of overbite and of diastemas was significantly greater in the 73 preterm patients than in the 41 patients born at term. Primozic et al [52], on comparing the prevalence of malocclusions in a group of 80 premature infants with a birth weight of less than 2500 g versus a control group of 113 patients born at term and with normal birth weight, recorded no statistically significant differences between the two groups.…”

Background Preterm delivery, defined as delivery occurring before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy, represents 6-10% of all births in developed countries. Preterm infants are characterized by a short prenatal development period and are at an increased risk of systemic disorders as a result of their immaturity. Few studies have analyzed oral alterations among preterm infants. This systematic review examines the orofacial characteristics most commonly found among preterm infants versus infants born at term, and evaluates their repercussions upon oral health and quality of life. Methods The search was limited to articles published in English or Spanish and that studied the prevalence of oral sequelae and alterations in preterm children. Their methodological quality was assessed based on the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Results Most of the studies found the prevalence of structural enamel defects of the primary dentition to be greater among preterm infants. Other disorders such as structural enamel defects of the permanent dentition, caries, malocclusions or alterations in dental composition, size and development also appeared to be more frequent among preterm infants, though the supporting evidence was weak. Conclusions Further studies are needed, analyzing the association between preterm delivery and certain orofacial disorders such as caries, malocclusions and dental anomalies.

A controlled study of the functional and morphological characteristics of malocclusion in prematurely born subjects with low birth weight

Abstract: Prevalence of malocclusion among prematurely born subjects is not significantly different compared with controls, and premature birth is not a risk indicator for any functional or morphological characteristics of malocclusion.
