    Author: Majorana A, Bardellini E, Amadori F, Conti G, Polimeni A.
    Journal: Prog Orthod; 2015; 16():39. PubMed ID: 26525869.
    Abstract:
    As most of the etiologic factors of malocclusion are of genetic origin and thus cannot be prevented, environmental causative factors have become the focus for correction. Early interception of oral habits may be an important step in order to prevent occlusal disturbances in children. The identification of an abnormal habit and the assessment of its potential immediate and long-term effects on the dentition and potentially on the craniofacial complex should be made at an early stage. This paper focuses on the most common oral habits influencing dentofacial growth in childhood and management of these habits in the developing dentition.
