Abstract

Digital and nipple suction, rest lingual interposition, and in deglutition, as well as during mouth respiration, are harmful habits interfering in regular pattern of facial growing, and may produce dento-maxillofacial anomalies. A cross study was conducted to determine presence of deforming oral habits and influence of these on post-lactic plan. Sample included 28 543 children have turned 3-5 years, from which we selected a sample of 300 children seen in family physician and nurse consulting room of San Antonio de los Baños, Santa Cruz del Norte y Mariel municipalities. More prevalent habit was nipple suction, representing 49% of all the children with these habits (200), followed by moth respiration (39%), and lingual interposition in deglutition (38,5). We found a close relationship among deforming oral habits and presence of a unfavourable distal step at level of temporal second molars, specially the habits of lingual interposition in deglutition and in rest.
