“…In a similar study assessing the prevalence of oral habits in patients done in 2018, it stated that 53.8% patients who had been diagnosed with oral habits were females. (S.Anila et al) (Veiga et al, 2016;Anila et al, 2018). This study goes against the present study, as females tend to have a higher prevalence rate for oral habits .…”

A habit is a routine of behavior or doing that is repeated regularly and tends to occur unconsciously. Oral habits such as thumb sucking, nail and finger biting, tongue thrusting, lip biting , bruxism, etc can produce deleterious and destructive effects on the oral structures. A patient's oral health can be affected by these adverse habits. Thumb/digit sucking habit is the repeated and forceful sucking of the thumb with associated buccal and lip musculature. Dental caries is a common problem to any dentition, at any age group. They are most prevalent in cases with poor oral hygiene maintenance. The aim of this study is to assess the association between oral hygiene and DMFT index with dental caries, in children with digit sucking habits. A retrospective study was done in an institutional setting to study the relation between oral hygiene status and dental caries in patients with digit sucking habits. All patients (age group of 18 and less) who had visited the hospital from June 2019 to April 2020 were taken into consideration. The case sheets of all the patients were analyzed using the parameters such as gender, OHIS, DMFT. The data was tabulated and statistical analysis was done in SPSS. Analysis of gender with DMFT and OHIS were done. Out of the 18 patients with digit sucking habits, 11 of them were male and 7 of them were females. Majority of the patients had a really low score on the DMFT index. 0-5 was the lowest and 15 patients had this score. 8 patients had OHIS between 0.6-1. Male patients were seen to have higher DMFT and OHIS than female patients. There was no significant relation between digit sucking habit and dental caries. Oral hygiene played a big role in the occurrence of dental caries.

“…Estudo descritivo, com 425 crianças de cinco a 10 anos de idade, objetivou verificar a prevalência dos distúrbios do sono na população infantil e apontou que a maioria (73,6 %) foi caracterizada com qualidade de sono boa (13). Porém, estudos indianos com crianças na idade escolar da zona rural ( 14) e da zona urbana (15) identificaram alta prevalência da respiração bucal dentre os comportamentos autoprejudiciais para a cavidade oral, assim como outro estudo, com 1034 crianças entre 4 e 13 anos, que revelou alta prevalência (29,4 %) (16).…”

Objetivo: analisar a qualidade do sono das crianças internadas em hospital com síndrome de respiração bucal.Método: pesquisa descritiva, com componente analítico e abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido com 80 crianças na faixa etária de 5 a 12 anos, internadas em hospital da região Nordeste do Brasil. Realizada a partir de entrevista com pais e/ou responsáveis pelas crianças participantes e questionário Índice de qualidade do sono de Pittsburgh.Resultados: 30,0 % das crianças respiradoras bucais apresentaram qualidade do sono muito boa e 43,8 % boa. Os componentes que mais interferiram para qualidade do sono boaforam: qualidade do sono (p < 0,001), latência (p < 0,000) e disfunção diurna (p < 0,000), assim como duração do sono, eficiência habitual do sono e uso de medicação para dormir, com valor de p sem significância.Conclusão: as crianças respiradoras bucais apresentaram boa qualidade do sono, segundo percepções de pais e/ou cuidadores.

Introduction: Altered nasorespiratory function leads to altered craniofacial growth. Thus, airway evaluation is important for preventive, interceptive, and corrective orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare adenoids, the upper airway, the tongue, and mandibular dimensions using “predictors of difficult airways” in class II division 1 and class II division 2 cases with class I cases. Method: Sixty subjects of age 15 to 18 years were divided into 3 groups (group 1: class I cases; group 2: class II division 1 cases; and group 3: class II division 2 cases) based on cephalometric parameters, with 20 cases in each group. Cephalometric evaluation of adenoids and the nasopharyngeal airway was done using the Handelman–Osborne area method. Upper and lower airway evaluation was done using McNamara’s linear method. “Predictors of difficult airways” were used for evaluation of the airway, which included nasal competency, the Mallampati scale, mandibular length, mandibular protrusion, and the thyromental distance. Results: The present study found a significant positive correlation between the grades of nasal competency and percentage adenoid wall area, and a significant negative correlation between the grades of nasal competency and the upper airway. There was a significant positive correlation between the grades of nasal competency and mandibular length, and a significant positive correlation between the grades of mandibular protrusion and mandibular length. There was a significant positive correlation between the grades of the thyromental distance and mandibular length. Conclusion: It was concluded that the “predictors of difficult airways” would be helpful in early diagnosis and identification of potential risk factors that may cause “breathing disorders”–related malocclusions and later on increase the risk of developing OSA.
