As malocclusions are a health problem in the population and as there is a closerelationship between them and the persistence of deforming oral habits, an educative intervention was carried out in children aged 5-6 affected by them. A
longitudinal, prospective and descriptive study was undertaken in a primary school
of the health area of Santa Martha, Varadero municipality, province of Matanzas,
during the academic course 2005-2006. The study group was composed of 120
children of kindergarten and first grade. A sample of 87 school children with oral
deforming habits was obtained. The use of nursing bottle prevailed in children at
these ages (65.6 %) compared with the rest of the studied habits. It was observed
a reduction of these habits at the end of the intervention.
