One of the most challenging tasks for a pediatric dentist is the management of deleterious oral habits which adversely affect the dentofacial complex. However, if these habits can be intercepted and diagnosed well in time, they can save the patient from the psychological impact of undergoing long treatment therapies. One such rare deleterious oral habit is cheek biting that affects the buccal mucosa. Presented here is a case report which describes the interception of this deleterious habit in a 15-year-old female child who was a bilateral cheek biter with the help of an innovative intraoral appliance: The cheek plumper.

对于儿童牙医来说，最具挑战性的任务之一是处理有害的口腔习惯，这些习惯会对牙颌面复合体产生不利影响。然而，如果能够及时发现并诊断这些习惯，就可以使患者免受长期治疗带来的心理影响。一种罕见的有害口腔习惯是咬颊，它会影响颊黏膜。本文报告了一例病例，描述了如何借助一种创新的口腔矫治器——颊脂垫丰满器，对一名15岁的双侧咬颊女童的这种有害习惯进行干预。如何引用本文：拉纳V、斯里瓦斯塔瓦N、考希克N、潘思里P。颊脂垫丰满器：一种创新的防咬颊矫治器。《国际临床儿科牙科学杂志》2016年；9(2)：146 - 148。
