“…Regarding gender difference in the prevalence of NNSH, the present study showed no significant gender differences. This finding is in accordance with the study of Scavone-Jr et al, 2008 (34) ; Bishara et al, 2006 (35) and Alves et al, 2016 (36) ; and disagrees with the study of Vasconcelos et al, 2011 (37) ; Chitra & Vishnupriya, 2015 (32) and Percival et al, 2017 (33) . This finding in the present study is still considered high due to the common trend of Iraqi mothers of using pacifier for calming their children during crying, weaning and other conditions.…”

“…The prevalence of NNSH in the present study was (63%). This is considered low in comparison with the findings of Machado et al, 2014 (30) , Silvestrini-Biavati etal., 2016 (25) , Machado et al, 2018 (24) that were 70%, 74% and 86% respectively; and high in comparison with the results of Ngom et al, 2008 (31) ; Chitra & Vishnupriya, 2015 (32) and Percival et al, 2017 (33) that were 16-17 %, 36 % and 50% respectively. Regarding gender difference in the prevalence of NNSH, the present study showed no significant gender differences.…”

Background: Non-nutritive sucking habit (NNSH) is the main environmental causative factor that disturbs normal orofacial development. In spite of the harmful effect of pacifier as a NNSH, mothers aware from the other types of NNSH like thumb sucking far more than pacifier use. Open bite is one of the most challenging malocclusions in orthodontics due to the high prevalence of relapse after treatment, so preventing the causative factor of its occurrence is essential at early age of child life. This study aims to assess the impact of two non-nutritive patterns on the development of anterior open bite in primary dentition and to compare which of these habits mostly affect open bite development. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 313 Iraqi children (135 boys, 178 girls), aged 3-5 years, enrolled at two public kindergartens in Baghdad city, the Capital of Iraq. A pre-tested questionnaire with clinical examination were used to obtain data regarding thumb sucking, pacifier and the presence of open bite. Excel sheets were used for data processing, and Chi square test was used in data analysis. Results: There was a significant association between NNSH and the development of open bite (p value = 0.01). No gender differences in open bite prevalence were observed. The prevalence of non-nutritive sucking habits and open bite was 63.11% and 52.9% respectively with no gender difference. There was no significant differences between the effect of pacifier and thumb sucking habits on the development of an anterior open bite. Conclusion: Both pacifier and thumb sucking at preschool age are significant causative factors that lead to development of open bite in primary dentition. Encouraging mothers to ban and discontinue pacifier and thumb sucking habits as early as possible in the child's life is a crucial factor to prevent open bite development. On the other hand if general health of the child indicates the use of pacifier, mothers should use an orthodontic pacifier and for short time

“…However, evidence on the influence of feeding type on speech sound development is less readily available (e.g., Fox et al [5]). Infant feeding (breast-, bottle-and mixed feeding) and non-nutritive sucking (NNS; pacifier/digit-sucking) are typically concurrent practices in the early lives of infants across the world [6][7][8]; therefore, it is important to consider both of these with regard to the impact on speech sound development. Evidence for an indirect detrimental impact of NNS on speech sound development is indicated with regard to dentition [9,10] and hearing loss resulting from otitis media [11,12]; however, the question of a potential direct impact of NNS on speech sound development is of interest due to the shared physical oral mechanisms of these 2 processes.…”

Background: Children with and without speech sound disorders (SSDs) are exposed to different patterns of infant feeding (breast/bottle-feeding) and may or may not engage in non-nutritive sucking (NNS) (pacifier/digit-sucking). Sucking and speech use similar oral musculature and structures, therefore it is possible that early sucking patterns may impact early speech sound development. The objective of this review is to synthesise the current evidence on the influence of feeding and NNS on the speech sound development of healthy full-term children. Summary: Electronic databases (PubMed, NHS CRD, EMBASE, MEDLINE) were searched using terms specific to feeding, NNS and speech sound development. All methodologies were considered. Studies were assessed for inclusion and quality by 2 reviewers. Of 1,031 initial results, 751 records were screened, and 5 primary studies were assessed for eligibility, 4 of which were included in the review. Evidence from the available literature on the relationship between feeding, NNS and speech sound development was inconsistent and inconclusive. An association between NNS duration and SSDs was the most consistent finding, reported by 3 of the 4 studies. Quality appraisal was carried out using the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS). The included studies were found to be of moderate quality. Key Messages: This review found there is currently limited evidence on the relationship between feeding, NNS and speech sound development. Exploring this unclear relationship is important because of the overlapping physical mechanisms for feeding, NNS and speech production, and therefore the possibility that feeding and/or sucking behaviours may have the potential to impact on speech sound development. Further high-quality research into specific types of SSD using coherent clinically relevant assessment measures is needed to clarify the nature of the association between feeding, NNS and speech sound development, in order to inform and support families and health care professionals.
