dc.description | Oral habits are very common and one of the most deleterious habits which pose a
problem to Pediatricians and Pedodontists.(1,2,3) In most of the studies cited in
literature, the major concern of the authors is about the etiology of oral habits because
these may have an important role in the development of some anomalies and harmful
effects on the oro-facial system.(4,5,6,7) Thumb sucking and nail biting habits not
only distort the oro-facial harmony and damage the structure of the mouth but also
allow easy spread of infectious diseases.(8) A study confirmed that the prevalence of
Escherichia coli and Enterobacteria among children with such oral habits was greater
than the children without any oral habits.(9) Oral habits could be divided into 2 main
groups(10):
1) Acquired oral habits: Include those behaviors which are learned and could be
stopped easily and when the child grows up, he or she can give up that behavior and
start another one.
2) Compulsive oral habits: Consist of those behaviors which are fixed in child and
when emotional pressures are intolerable for the child, he or she can feel safety with
this habit, and preventing the child from these habits make him or her anxious and
worried.
The dental practitioner is often met with stares of parental concern when the palatal
crib with or without "spurs" is suggested as the habit-breaking appliance of choice for
digital sucking. If inserted for several months, this type of device usually eliminates
the habit in children who want to stop(12,13). Emotional problems, difficulty with
speech and eating, and iatrogenic ally "self-inflicted" wounds can occur with such
appliances. This type of appliance tends to be regarded as a punitive rather than a
supportive treatment(14) | en_US |
