Material and methods: A clinical examination of 106 children between 5 and 12 years of age was carried out and a survey validated by professors of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Seville was made for the parents in order to identify the habits and relate them to the possible malocclusions detected in the child\u2019s mouth. Results: 72.64% of the sample presented a malocclusion in at least one of the three planes of space, with a similar distribution. When correlating the variables, statistically significant relationships were observed in the vertical plane with atypical swallowing (p = 0 &lt; 0.05; V &gt; 0.3) and lip sucking (p = 0 &lt; 0.05; V &gt; 0.3) and in the horizontal plane with oral breathing (p = 0 &lt; 0.05; V &gt; 0.3), atypical swallowing (p = 0 &lt; 0.05; V &lt; 0.3) and digital sucking (p = 0 &lt; 0.05; V &lt; 0.3). Conclusions: It has been observed that the prevalence and prolongation of habits in childhood is increasing, so it is essential to detect pernicious habits at an early age to prevent the establishment of malocclusions and to favour the correct craniofacial growth of the child.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/clinpract14030057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,24]],"date-time":"2024-04-24T03:56:31Z","timestamp":1713930991000},"page":"718-728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Oral Habits in Childhood and Occlusal Pathologies: A Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mario","family":"Santos Barrera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, University of Seville, 41004 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6123-9216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Ribas-Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, University of Seville, 41004 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Caleza Jimenez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, University of Seville, 41004 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olga","family":"Cortes Lillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, University of Seville, 41004 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asunci\u00f3n","family":"Mendoza-Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, University of Seville, 41004 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"236","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210601610010236","article-title":"Orthodontic treatment of malocclusion and its impact on oral health-related quality of life","volume":"10","author":"Jamilian","year":"2016","journal-title":"Open Dent.
