(1) Introduction. An analysis was made of posterior crossbites in deciduous dentition and their relation to the type of feeding received by the child, with the objective of determining the influence of the way in which the child is fed in the early stages of life on the development of posterior crossbites. (2) Material and methods. A total of 1401 preschool children between 3 and 6 years of age from Seville (Spain) were included in the study. An intraoral exploration was carried out to assess the presence of crossbites (uni- or bilateral, and functional or not). The study was completed with a parent or legal guardian questionnaire exploring the type of feeding received by the child in the first stages of life, as well as the presence of bad oral habits and their duration. (3) Results. A total of 276 children (19.7%) presented posterior crossbite in occlusion. Uponn centering the midlines, 197 were maintained, indicating that 79 were due to premature contacts (functional crossbites). There were no significant differences in crossbites among the children who had received breastfeeding, though bottle-feeding was seen to favor crossbite. (4) Conclusions. No statistically significant relationship was found between posterior crossbites and breastfeeding, though an association between posterior crossbites and bottle-feeding was observed, with the number of crossbites increasing with the duration of bottle-feeding.
(1) 引言。对乳牙期后牙反牙合及其与儿童喂养方式的关系进行了分析，目的是确定儿童早期喂养方式对后牙反牙合发育的影响。(2) 材料与方法。该研究纳入了来自西班牙塞维利亚的1401名3至6岁的学龄前儿童。进行口腔内检查以评估反牙合的存在情况（单侧或双侧，功能性或非功能性）。通过家长或法定监护人问卷完成研究，问卷内容涉及儿童早期的喂养方式、不良口腔习惯的存在情况及其持续时间。(3) 结果。共有276名儿童（19.7%）存在咬合时的后牙反牙合。以中线为中心，197例得以维持，这表明79例是由于早接触（功能性反牙合）。接受母乳喂养的儿童中，反牙合情况无显著差异，不过奶瓶喂养被认为有利于反牙合的发生。(4) 结论。未发现后牙反牙合与母乳喂养之间存在统计学上的显著关系，不过观察到后牙反牙合与奶瓶喂养之间存在关联，反牙合的数量随着奶瓶喂养时间的延长而增加。
