Προσθήκη ετικέτας | Περίληψη: | Digital sucking (thumb sucking) is a common parafunctional habit in children; however, this issue is often overlooked until its consequences become irreversible. This research aimed to identify the factors influencing the development of digital sucking habits in children and assess their long-term effects on oral development. A descriptive and analytical literature review with a qualitative approach was conducted. Scientific articles published between 2014 and 2024 were retrieved from databases such as PubMed, SciELO, Dialnet, LILACS, and Scopus. A total of 40 articles meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The study found that digital sucking was most prevalent in preschool-aged children (2–5 years) at 49.67%, followed by school-aged children (6–12 years) at 40.86%, with a higher frequency among girls (57.66%). The primary risk factors associated with this habit included: insufficient breastfeeding (58.82%), pacifier use, and family dysfunction (11.77%). Regarding malocclusions resulting from this behavior, the most common were anterior open bite and posterior crossbite. In conclusion, digital sucking was most prevalent in girls aged 2–5 years, with insufficient breastfeeding being the main predisposing factor. The long-term consequences of this habit included anterior open bite and posterior crossbite, highlighting the need for early intervention and parental education |
