  • Title: [The possible influence of bad habits on tooth morphogenesis. Clinical case].
    Author: Lamperti A, Rosmarini M.
    Journal: Mondo Ortod; 1990; 15(4):453-5. PubMed ID: 2215498.
    Abstract:
    Thumb sucking, if continued beyond the age of two, is commonly acknowledged to compromise correct craniofacial development, with consequent dental malposition. The observation of a deciduous central incisor morphology, lost traumatically by a thumb-sucking three years old boy with an apparent open-bite, makes us think this bad habit can influence teeth morphogenesis too.
