This study aimed to investigate the associations between breastfeeding, nonnutritive sucking habits (NNSHs), and malocclusion in deciduous, mixed, and permanent dentition.
A sample of 50 children between 3 and 12 years, enrolled in a pediatric dentistry dental care program, underwent orthodontic examination for detection of occlusal patterns and malocclusion. In addition, data regarding breastfeeding duration and NNSH acquisition were obtained from standardized questionnaires responded by the children's parents or legal guardians.
Regardless of a long period of breastfeeding, a high incidence of NNSH in the evaluated sample was observed. Nevertheless, the presence of NNSHs was not significantly associated with malocclusion.
The findings could not indicate a statistically significant association between breastfeeding duration, acquisition of NNSHs, and malocclusion. Longitudinal studies with larger samples are still needed to better support clinical decisions. Roscoe MG, da Silva Bonifacio SV, da Silva TB, Pingueiro JMS, Lemos MM, Feres MFN.

本研究旨在调查母乳喂养、非营养性吮吸习惯(NNSHs)与乳牙列、混合牙列及恒牙列错牙合畸形之间的关联。
选取50名3至12岁参加儿童牙科护理项目的儿童作为样本,接受正畸检查以检测咬合模式和错牙合畸形。此外,关于母乳喂养持续时间和非营养性吮吸习惯养成的数据,是通过儿童父母或法定监护人填写的标准化问卷获得的。
尽管母乳喂养时间较长,但在评估样本中仍观察到非营养性吮吸习惯的高发生率。然而,非营养性吮吸习惯的存在与错牙合畸形并无显著关联。
研究结果未表明母乳喂养持续时间、非营养性吮吸习惯的养成与错牙合畸形之间存在统计学上的显著关联。仍需要更大样本量的纵向研究来更好地支持临床决策。罗斯科·MG、达席尔瓦·博尼法西奥·SV、达席尔瓦·TB、平盖罗·JMS、莱莫斯·MM、费雷斯·MFN。母乳喂养持续时间、非营养性吮吸习惯与错牙合畸形的关联。《国际临床儿科牙科学杂志》2018年;11(1):18 - 22。
