PIPA VALLEJO, A. et al. Prevalence of malocclusion in order to non nutritive sucking habits in children between 3 and 12 years-old in Ferrol. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.3, pp.137-145. ISSN 2340-3152.
A descriptive observational study was carried out between October 2008 and April 2009. 368 children between 3 and 12 years-old were selected in Ferrol Health Board in order to identify the prevalence of the malocclusion related to the following non nutritive oral habits: thumb sucking, dummy and mouth breathing. In addition, a comparison with other studies about the same theme is carried out in order to establish how we are acting, from the preventative point of view, on the information about the harmful consequences of the non nutritive habits in the development of a good dental occlusion.
