Abstract(s)
Objetivos: O trabalho realizado teve como finalidade avaliar a relação do tempo da amamentação e a utilização de biberão e/ou chupeta com a oclusão dentária. Materiais e métodos: O estudo foi realizado através da recolha de dados dos ficheiros clínicos/informatizados dos pacientes pediátricos atendidos nos últimos 5 anos na Clínica de Medicina Dentária da Universidade Fernando Pessoa. Resultados: Observou-se um decréscimo no uso da chupeta e biberão nas crianças que foram amamentadas de forma duradoura (p<0,01). Nas relações canina e molar verificou-se na globalidade da amostra, uma prevalência de classe II, exceto nas crianças que foram amamentadas de forma exclusiva e nas que foram amamentadas e usaram chupeta, revelando estas predominância de classe I molar. As crianças que utilizaram a chupeta e em que a amamentação durou menos tempo, apresentaram predominância de relação molar classe II e mordida aberta anterior. Nos restantes parâmetros da oclusão analisados a predominância tendeu para a normalidade. Conclusões: A amamentação prolongada pode funcionar como um fator de proteção para hábitos como o biberão e a chupeta. O biberão (associado à amamentação e/ou à chupeta) apresentou-se como fator fundamental para a presença de classe II molar. A relação canina classe II foi predominante na amostra. Nos restantes parâmetros, usar ou não a chupeta e o biberão não foram um fator determinante para o aparecimento de má oclusão, mas sugere-se que seria necessário avaliar a duração, frequência e intensidade destes hábitos para poder comprovar esta afirmação.
Objectives: The work carried out aimed to evaluate the relationship between breastfeeding time and the use of a bottle and/or pacifier with dental occlusion. Methods: The study was carried out by collecting data from the clinical/computerized files of pediatric patients treated in the last 5 years at the Dentistry Clinic, Universidade Fernando Pessoa. Results: There was a decrease in the use of pacifiers and bottles in children who were breastfed on a long-term basis (p<0.01). In the canine and molar relationships, there was a prevalence of class II in the entire sample, except in children who were exclusively breastfed and in those who were breastfed and used a pacifier, revealing these predominance of molar class I. Children who used a pacifier and who breastfed for less time had a predominance of class II molar relationship and anterior open bite. In the remaining occlusion parameters analysed, the predominance tended towards normality. Conclusion: Prolonged breastfeeding can act as a protective factor for habits such as bottle and pacifiers. The bottle (associated with breastfeeding and/or pacifiers) was a fundamental factor for the presence of molar class II. The class II canine relationship was predominant in the sample. In the remaining parameters, using or not the pacifier and the bottle were not a determining factor for the appearance of malocclusion, but it is suggested that it would be necessary to evaluate the duration, frequency, and intensity of these habits to prove this statement.
