“…23 The upshot is impaired oral health-related quality of life. 24 The findings of a previous literature review 25 reinforce the benefits of adopting exclusive breastfeeding practices and avoiding non-nutritive sucking habits to promote harmonic craniofacial growth, with lifelong benefits. In addition, professionals should be aware of the possible consequences of non-nutritive habits, so that they can diagnose and monitor its sequelae, and thus reduce the development of sever malocclusion.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of breastfeeding and pacifier use on the occlusal status of preschool children. A crosssectional study was conducted with children (n = 489) aged 2-5 years in private and public schools in Pelotas, South Brazil. Mothers answered a questionnaire on demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral variables, including breastfeeding and non-nutritive sucking habits. Malocclusion was classified as normal/mild and moderate/severe, according to WHO criteria. The association between breastfeeding and pacifier use with malocclusion was tested using multivariate logistic regression. The prevalence of malocclusion was 37.83% (95%CI 33.52-42.14), and 57.87% of the children used a pacifier. A total of 46.01% of the sample was exclusively breastfed for 6 months, and 24.74% were never breastfed. Malocclusion was associated with pacifier use, and with both non-exclusively breastfed and never breastfed. After adjustments for demographic and socioeconomic variables, the children who used a pacifier and were never breastfed (OR = 19.08; 95%CI 8.54-42.63), or who used a pacifier and were not exclusively breastfed (OR = 13.74; 95%CI 6.11-30.92), showed worse occlusal conditions, compared with the children who were exclusively breastfed and never used a pacifier. Pacifier use modifies the relationship between breastfeeding and occlusal status.

“…(6) Breastfed children have a sufficiently developed base of the maxillary and mandibular bones in the frontal (anterior-posterior axis), transverse (longitudinal axis), and sagittal (lateral axis) planes, which can property affect the occlusion of deciduous teeth. (7) Some studies have reported breastfeeding as a protective factor against malocclusion and have linked prolongation of breastfeeding with a reduction in the ratio of children with malocclusion requiring orthodontic treatment. (2,3,8,9) Conversely, there are reports on the lack of relationship between the duration of breastfeeding in the first year of birth and occlusal and dental arch parameters.…”

“…(12) Therefore, despite the importance of breastfeeding in the physical and psychological development of the child, its impact on the development of the maxillofacial system is still associated with many controversies. (7) Given the importance of breastfeeding based on religious doctrines and the proposal of the World Health Organization (WHO) and due to ambiguities regarding the effects of nutritional methods in infancy on the maxillofacial growth, we decided to investigate the effect of nutritional habits including sucking the mother's breast and nursing bottle on the development of deciduous dental occlusion of children in Rasht city in 2014.…”

Background and aim: The effect of different nutritional pattern consumption patterns in infants on the formation of dental occlusion is one of the issues under discussion. Due to the lack of specific results in this regard, the purpose of this study was to determine the occlusion of deciduous teeth in breastfed and bottle-fed preschool children. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study on 316 children aged 4-5 years old. This study was based on clinical examination and completing questionnaire. The examination was done at kindergartens and in sitting position using a dental mirror and with under the natural light to natural light. The occlusal relationship, overjet, overbite, and crossbite were examined through direct observation in the centric occlusion. The questionnaires were completed by the mothers. The basis of this study was the responses that mothers gave in the questionnaire based on the type and duration of breastfeeding or bottle-feeding. The collected data were statistically analyzed by Chi-square test. Significance was considered at the level of P<0.05. Results: The results of this study showed a significant relationship between nutrition with formula and increased overjet (P=0.048) and distal step occlusion (P=0.001). The duration of milk consumption showed no significant relationship with any of the studied variables. Conclusion: Malocclusion was more frequently observed in bottle-fed children.

“…Não existe um consenso na literatura sobre a oclusão dos rodetes gengivais ao nascimento e a sua influência sobre a futura inter-relação da oclusão da dentadura decídua. Autores de revisões contemporâneas da literatura sobre forma de alimentação e hábitos orais deletérios concluem que o aleitamento materno exclusivo nos seis primeiros meses de vida afeta de forma benéfica a oclusão decídua; ao mesmo tempo, citam como exemplo de influência negativa ao crescimento orofacial os hábitos orais deletérios, como o uso de mamadeira, a sucção digital e o predomínio da respiração oral, causando oclusopatias e alterações na relação entre a maxila e a mandíbula, evidenciando a ação do ambiente influenciando a genética (epigenética) no que se diz respeito ao crescimento e desenvolvimento oral 88,89,90,91,92,93 . Com relação especificamente às crianças nascidas prematuras, a literatura mostra a possibilidade da observação de um número elevado de crianças portadoras de oclusopatias com necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico, assim como uma morfologia craniofacial alterada em crianças nascidas prematuras quando comparadas a crianças nascidas a termo 94,95,96 .…”
