Some oral habits are: digital sucking, pacifier sucking, lip sucking and biting, onychophagia, bruxism, mouth breathing and simple or complex tongue thrusting. Bruxism is a parafunctional activity consisting of non-functional tooth clenching that occurs during the day and at night. This parafunction is increasingly frequent in children and should be differentiated from the normal wear and tear of the temporary dentition.
Parafunctional habits and oral muscular dysfunctions are considered important contributing factors for temporomandibular and muscular disorders, as well as they can lead to disorders in the dentition that can range from crowding to a significant decrease in the vertical dimension. Knowledge of the etiological factors and clinical characteristics of bruxism in children is fundamental for an early diagnosis, allowing pediatricians, pediatric dentists and psychologists to establish a multidisciplinary treatment and favor the integral development of the patient for the promotion of health and individual well-being.
