“…Of the total number of children included in the present study, 49.4% used a pacifier and exhibited a statistically higher prevalence of AOB when compared to those who did not. This result corroborates other findings 2,12,21 . Culturally, a pacifier is accepted, mainly to calm down the crying child and many parents end up giving in to this tool to minimize their anguish and discomfort caused by their children's cry.…”

Introduction Open bite can generate relevant psychosocial impact in the daily life of the patient, both from the aesthetic and functional point of view. Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with the anterior open bite in children in the first school year in a municipality in southern Brazil. Material and method A cross-sectional study was carried out with six-year-old schoolchildren in Palhoça/SC. Interviews were conducted with mothers to gather socioeconomic and non-nutritive sucking habits information. Children oral clinical examinations were carried out in schools. Multivariate analyses were performed using Poisson regression with a robust estimator. The study involved 655 children, 50.5% being female. Result The prevalence of anterior open bite was 14.1% (95% CI 11.5; 16.7). Girls exhibited a lower prevalence [PR= 0.96 (95% CI 0.94; 0.99) p= 0.024] and those children who used a pacifier exhibited a higher prevalence of anterior open bite [PR= 1.04 (95% CI 1.01; 1.07) p= 0.003]. Conclusion The prevalence was 14.1% and that it was associated with gender and the use of pacifier, in a statistically significant and independent way.

“…In growing children, most of anterior open bites are self-correcting; therefore, the origin of open bite in these age groups is of paramount importance (22) . Abundant of studies were carried out to assess the prevalence and causative factors that predispose to anterior open bite in different populations and age groups (13,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) . The present study was conducted to assess the impact of two non-nutritive sucking habits on the development of anterior open bite among preschool children in Baghdad city, the capital of Iraq.…”

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

“…A relationship has been established between oral habits, spacing, crowding, and increased overjet, while tongue thrusting has been found to significantly increase the risk of malocclusion severity in 6-12-year-old children in Nigeria [13]. A high risk of developing open bite has been found among children with sucking habits in Java and Brazil [21,22] In recent decades, the assessment and restoration of oral mucosal blood flow have gained growing attention [23]. Investigating mucosal blood supply is of great importance in children and adolescents with a combination of mucosal lesions and oral habits.…”

Background. Oral mucosal abnormalities such as abnormal lip frenulum, buccal frenulum, ankyloglossia are commonly observed in a routine dental practice. The close anatomical and functional relationship between the gingiva and the alveolar bone determines the significance of abnormal mucosal structures in the development of malocclusions and periodontal diseases. Oral habits are more prevalent in childhood; however, they can persist into adolescence and adulthood, potentially leading to dentofacial impairments and malocclusions. Therefore, there is a growing interest in understanding oral mucosal blood flow in the presence of oral habits and abnormal mucosal structures, as their combined effects may have a synergistic influence on the development of maxillomandibular anomalies. Aim. This study was aimed to investigate age-depended parameters of gingival microcirculation in children with buccal frenulum, oral habits, and maxillomandibular anomalies. Methods. This cross-sectional study involved 45 apparently healthy children and 180 children with oral habits, buccal frenulum, and maxillomandibular anomalies, divided into 3 age groups (ages 9 to 12, 12 to 15, and 15 to 17 years). Oral mucosal blood flow was assessed using a rheograph DX (Kharkiv, Ukraine) by measuring qualitative characteristics and quantitative parameters such as the vascular tone index (VTI), venous outflow index (VOI), peripheral resistance index (PRI), extensive blood flow index (EBFI), and rheographic index (RI). Statistical analysis included Spearman’s correlation, a Kruskal-Wallis H test, and a Dunn’s post-hoc test. Results. The study revealed a significantly higher VTI in all patient groups, increasing with age and reaching +80.54% in the oldest age group compared to the respective control group. This elevation was accompanied by a moderate correlation enhancing the PRI (+4.61% in 9-12-year-old group to +33.42% in 15-17-year-old group). Furthermore, the VOI exhibited a noteworthy and age-dependent increase; however, there was a notable reduction in the RI (-41.10% to -59.70%) and EBFI values (-35.54% and -37.70% versus -23.97% in the youngest age group). Conclusions. This study demonstrated a relationship between oral habits, buccal frenulum, and age-dependent disturbance of gingival microcirculation in children. The findings suggest that chronic traumatization due to oral habits and abnormal mucosal structures lead to increased vasoconstriction and impaired vessel elasticity. Early intervention and management of such category of patients are crucial for preserving optimal gingival microcirculation.
