“…Similar associations have been reported in the literature. 1,9,10,15 With a long duration and high frequency of pacifier use, there is a tendency for hyperfunction of the buccinator muscle, which causes a deficiency in transverse growth. In addition, in the presence of a pacifier, the tongue is kept low in the mouth and does not exert pressure against the hard palate, and this can aggravate ogival palate problems and lead to posterior crossbite.…”

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 characteristics that were significantly associated with a pacifier-sucking habit were anterior open bite, altered canine relation, posterior crossbite, increased overjet, and malocclusion. The oral myofunctional characteristics that were significantly associated with a pacifier-sucking habit were resting lip position, resting tongue position, shape of the hard palate, and swallowing pattern. The strongest associations were for anterior open bite (prevalence ratio [PR] = 11.33), malocclusion (PR = 2.33), altered shape of the hard palate (PR = 1.29), and altered swallowing pattern (PR = 1.27). Both duration and frequency of pacifier-sucking habit were associated with occlusal and oral myofunctional alterations. These results emphasize the need for pediatric dentists to advise parents and caregivers about the risks of prolonged pacifier use and refer children to professionals for multidisciplinary assistance to minimize these risks whenever necessary.

“…9,14,15 Hence, it is important to increase our understanding of the association of prolonged pacifier use with alterations in occlusion and oral myofunction in preschool children who are being introduced to oral health care. This would provide pediatric dentists with clinical evidence to guide the children's parents and guardians.…”

“…In this way, the treatment's prognosis becomes favorable and collaborates to the minimization of the sequelae originating from the malocclusion 2,21 . However, the patients' early age, associated with their first visit to the dentist's office, makes it necessary to previously accustom them to the new environment.…”

“…Intervention in this malocclusion in the childhood, the period of great biologic development potential and bone remodeling, will favor facial growth without sequelae, and the desired prognosis is guaranteed [2][3] . Diagnosis of posterior crossbite is determined as disproportionate transverse relationships between the maxillomandibular structures, in maximum intercuspation and centric relation.…”

Bottle feeding, increased overjet and Class 2 primary canine relationship: is there any association?

et al. 2011

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between bottle feeding and prevalence rates of increased overjet and Class 2 primary canine relationship. The sample consisted of 911 children (461 boys, 450 girls) aged 3 (13.9%), 4 (40.8%), 5 (34%) and 6 (11.3%) years, with complete primary dentition. Information about nutritive and nonnutritive (pacifier and/or digit) sucking habits was collected through questionnaires. Three calibrated dentists (κ: 0.9-1.0 and Rs > 0.90) performed the clinical assessments. The children were divided into four groups: G1 -not bottle-fed; G2 -exclusively bottle-fed; G3 -breast-and bottle-fed, bottle feeding ceased before 3 years of age; and G4 -breastand bottle-fed, bottle feeding ceased between 3 and 4 years of age. Associations between nutritive and nonnutritive sucking behaviors and the malocclusions studied were analyzed by multiple binary logistic regression (α = 0.05). The frequencies of increased overjet were: 25.3% (G1), 38.8% (G2), 39.2% (G3) and 47.8% (G4). The percentages of Class 2 canine relationship were: 27.9% (G1), 48.8% (G2), 43.4% (G3) and 43% (G4). No significant effect of bottle feeding was found. The chances of diagnosing increased overjet (O.R. = 4.42, p < 0.001) and Class 2 canine relationship (O.R. = 4.02, p < 0.001) were greater for children with pacifier and/or digit-sucking habits, compared to those without a history of nonnutritive sucking behavior. It may be suggested that bottle feeding alone is not directly associated with higher prevalence rates of increased overjet and Class 2 canine relationship in the primary dentition.
