This study was designed to compare the occlusions of 24- to 59-month-old children who used orthodontic or conventional pacifiers to the occlusions of a group of controls who had no sucking habits. Information on the habits was collected by parental questionnaires. Ninety-five children were examined for malocclusions involving overbite, overjet, canine, and molar relationships, and posterior crossbites. Users of orthodontic pacifiers had statistically significantly greater overjets, and there was a significantly higher proportion of subjects with open bite in the conventional pacifier group. There was a trend toward a greater number of subjects in the control and orthodontic pacifier group with overbites less than or equal to 50%. These differences were not clinically significant, however. There appeared to be only minor differences between the occlusions of the two pacifier groups.
本研究旨在比较使用正畸奶嘴或传统奶嘴的24至59个月大儿童的咬合情况与一组无吮吸习惯的对照组儿童的咬合情况。通过家长问卷收集有关习惯的信息。对95名儿童进行了错颌畸形检查，包括覆合、覆盖、尖牙和磨牙关系以及后牙反合。正畸奶嘴使用者的覆盖在统计学上显著更大，传统奶嘴组中开颌受试者的比例显著更高。对照组和正畸奶嘴组中覆合小于或等于50%的受试者数量有增多趋势。然而，这些差异在临床上并不显著。两个奶嘴组的咬合情况之间似乎只有微小差异。
