Relação entre oclusopatias e hábitos parafuncionais na primeira infância

Abstract

Occlusopathies are a high prevalence problem characterized by a set of anomalies in the face of deviations in dental alignment, in the relationship between the dental arches and/or between the maxillary bones. The literature shows a direct relationship between occlusopathies and parafunctional habits in early childhood. From this perspective, understanding the etiology of occlusopathies to prevent or intercept these deviations becomes essential, in view of the difficulty in treatment for the correction of future problems. The aim of this study is to verify in the existing literature the relationship between occlusopathies and parafunctional habits in early childhood through studies of malocclusions in children. Scientific articles covering the period 2000 to 2020 of Scholar Google platform, CAPES Periodic Portal, Scientifc Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) were selected, using as keywords: Pediatric Dentistry; Malocclusion; Public Health. Among the deleterious sucking habits, digital, bottle and pacifier suction are among the most common. In addition, the absence of breastfeeding has an intimate relationship with these alterations. Therefore, malocclusion is one of the public health problems in Brazil, being essential public policies to bring information to parents and/or guardians, encourage breastfeeding and make them aware.

Prevalence of anterior open bite and associated factors in schoolchildren in a municipality of southern Brazil

“…As for the thumb-sucking habit, the prevalence this investigation was 8.9%, lower than what was found in the study by Matos et al 22 with 15.2%. The literature reports the development of this habit when there is an emotional need, especially in moments of tension, thus increasing the risk of AOB development 23 . This study found no statistical difference between AOB and thumbsucking or mouth breathing.…”

A implementação do Programa Brasil Sorridente na especialidade da Ortodontia no Sistema Único de Saúde: uma revisão sistemática

“…A cobertura de serviços odontológicos pelo setor público é elementar na maior parte dos estabelecimentos e os procedimentos cobertos são os de menor complexidade. O setor privado, apesar de imperar na oferta de serviços, absorve apenas uma parte da população, que paga diretamente pelos serviços ou se enquadra dentro de planos de saúde, que em sua maioria não cobrem tratamentos ortodônticos, absurdamente por serem considerados tão somente estéticos 12 .…”

Evaluation of asymmetries in early childhood: Is there a consensus?

“…Malocclusion, de ned as inadequate or abnormal dental alignment, not only gives rise to a problematic craniofacial relationship but also constitutes an important oral health problem worldwide [4]. Its prevalence ranges from 11-99% and may be associated with several factors, including genetic and environmental components [5][6][7][8].…”

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), attaining adequate oral health is the gateway to general health, wellbeing and quality of life [2]. The impact of good oral health goes beyond the absence of pain or discomfort, through ensuring self-con dence, socialization, correct chewing and correct pronunciation [3].Malocclusion, de ned as inadequate or abnormal dental alignment, not only gives rise to a problematic craniofacial relationship but also constitutes an important oral health problem worldwide [4]. Its prevalence ranges from 11-99% and may be associated with several factors, including genetic and environmental components [5][6][7][8].…”

“…The relationship between the jaws and, more precisely, existence of balanced occlusion depend on the structural and functional balance of the stomatognathic system. The main functions that in uence jaw development, in which the stomatognathic system is involved, are breathing, swallowing and chewing [4].…”
