Female sex, the combined breast feeding, as well as the protactile tongue and the digital suction as deforming oral habits prevailed in the series.

Debido a que las maloclusiones constituyen un problema de salud en la población y por la estrecha relación que existe entre estas y la persistencia de hábitos bucales deformantes, nos dimos a la tarea de realizar una intervención educativa en niños de 5 y 6 años afectados por estos. Se efectuó un estudio del tipo longitudinal prospectivo descriptivo en una escuela primaria del área de salud de Santa Martha, Municipio Varadero, provincia de Matanzas, en el período comprendido por el curso escolar 2005-2006. El universo estuvo constituido por 120 niños de preescolar y primer grado de esta escuela, de donde se obtuvo una muestra representativa de 87 escolares que presentaban hábitos bucales deformantes. Se observó el predominio del uso del biberón en los niños de estas edades (65,6 %) en relación con el reto de los hábitos estudiados, así como el hecho de que al finalizar la intervención disminuyó la presencia de dichos hábitos.As malocclusions are a health problem in the population and as there is a close relationship between them and the persistence of deforming oral habits, an educative intervention was carried out in children aged 5-6 affected by them. A longitudinal, prospective and descriptive study was undertaken in a primary school of the health area of Santa Martha, Varadero municipality, province of Matanzas, during the academic course 2005-2006. The study group was composed of 120 children of kindergarten and first grade. A sample of 87 school children with oral deforming habits was obtained. The use of nursing bottle prevailed in children at these ages (65.6 %) compared with the rest of the studied habits. It was observed a reduction of these habits at the end of the intervention.

La succión digital, succión del tete, interposición lingual en reposo y en deglución, y la respiración bucal, son hábitos perjudiciales que interfieren en el patrón regular de crecimiento facial y pueden llegar a producir anomalías dento-maxilofaciales. Se realizó un estudio de corte o transversal para determinar la presencia de los hábitos bucales deformantes y la influencia de estos en el plano poslácteo. El universo de estudio estuvo constituido por 28 543 niños entre 3 y 5 años cumplidos, de los cuales se escogió una muestra de 300 niños atendidos en consultorios del médico y enfermera de la familia de los municipios San Antonio de los Baños, Santa Cruz del Norte y Mariel. El hábito de mayor prevalencia fue la succión del tete, que representó el 49 % del total de niños con estos hábitos (200), seguidos por la respiración bucal con el 39 % y la interposición lingual en deglución con el 38,5 % de estos niños. Se encontró una estrecha relación entre los hábitos bucales deformantes y la presencia del escalón distal desfavorable al nivel de los segundos molares temporales, sobre todo en los hábitos de interposición lingual en deglución y en reposo.Digital and nipple suction, rest lingual interposition, and in deglutition, as well as during mouth respiration, are harmful habits interfering in regular pattern of facial growing, and may produce dento-maxillofacial anomalies. A cross study was conducted to determine presence of deforming oral habits and influence of these on post-lactic plan. Sample included 28 543 children have turned 3-5 years, from which we selected a sample of 300 children seen in family physician and nurse consulting room of San Antonio de los Baños, Santa Cruz del Norte y Mariel municipalities. More prevalent habit was nipple suction, representing 49% of all the children with these habits (200), followed by moth respiration (39%), and lingual interposition in deglutition (38,5). We found a close relationship among deforming oral habits and presence of a unfavourable distal step at level of temporal second molars, specially the habits of lingual interposition in deglutition and in rest.
