The correlation between malocclusions in deciduous dentition and type of breastfeeding has been described by many authors in numerous articles. The aim of this article is to investigate the literature about this important topic.
The research was conducted by querying the following databases: PubMed, EBMR, Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences, Medline, Web of Sciences, Ovid and Embase. The key words were: "infant" OR "baby", AND "breastfeeding" AND "malocclusion". As with similar literature review papers, the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Protocols) was used. The examined articles were of the following types: randomised controlled trials (RCTs), case-control studies and cohort studies. For the qualitative analysis of the selected studies, it was employed the NOS scale (Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale).
Two hundred and fifty articles were selected. After filtering out the articles deemed irrelevant or with obvious bias, only 16 articles were left. From our results, it can be concluded that breastfeeding seems to play a decisive role in preventing the onset of posterior cross-bites and Class II malocclusions, and that this protective effect appears to be time-dependent.
许多作者在众多文章中描述了乳牙期错合畸形与母乳喂养类型之间的相关性。本文旨在调查这一重要主题的文献。
通过查询以下数据库进行研究：PubMed、EBMR、Cochrane 图书馆、Web of Sciences、Medline、Web of Sciences、Ovid 和 Embase。关键词为：“婴儿”或“婴儿”，以及“母乳喂养”和“错合畸形”。与类似的文献综述文章一样，使用了 PRISMA-P（系统评价报告的首选条目）。所检查的文章类型为：随机对照试验（RCT）、病例对照研究和队列研究。对于选定研究的定性分析，使用了 NOS 量表（纽卡斯尔-渥太华质量评估量表）。
共选择了 250 篇文章。在剔除掉认为不相关或明显存在偏差的文章后，只剩下 16 篇文章。从我们的结果可以得出结论，母乳喂养似乎在预防后牙反颌和 II 类错合畸形的发生方面起着决定性的作用，而且这种保护作用似乎是时间依赖性的。
