Interference of conventional and orthodontic nipples in system stomatognatic: systematic review

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Check if the type of nozzle, orthodontic or conventional, of pacifier and bottle have any influence on the changes found in the stomatognathic system caused by the maintenance of the sucking habit. Research Strategies: Through a systematic literature review with meta-analysis, performed from the databases Lilacs, Medline and Embase and Scholar Google, with the following key words in Portuguese and English: “malocclusion” + “Pacifiers “; “Malocclusion” + “Bottle Feeding”; “Malocclusion” + “Bottle feeding” beyond words “Orthodontic Beak” + “Conventional Beak”. Selection Criteria: We included studies that presented in their methods to compare groups who used pacifiers and/or bottle with conventional nozzle with groups using orthodontic nipple without temporal delimitation. Data Analysis: The analysis of the article in its entirety was performed systematically, ordering the relevant results in the following categories: objective, method—case studies and evaluation, results, and conclusion. Results: Found 1,041 jobs, from the period 1969 to 2013, 848 jobs were excluded based on the exclusion criteria and another 174 that were repetitions. A total of 19 articles were read in full of which 4 articles met the proposed inclusion criteria, and three studies were included in the meta-analysis. These results show that there are no significant differences between the orthodontic and conventional nozzles on the implications of the stomatognathic system. Conclusion: There is no way to conclude that there are differences as to the consequences to the stomatognathic system caused by conventional nozzles and orthodontic pacifier/bottle.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Verificar se o tipo de bico, ortodôntico ou convencional, de chupeta e mamadeira, tem alguma influência sobre as alterações encontradas no sistema estomatognático causadas pela manutenção do hábito de sucção. Estratégia de pesquisa: Por meio de uma revisão de literatura sistemática com metanálise, realizada a partir das bases de dados Lilacs, Medline e Embase e com a ferramenta de busca Google Acadêmico™, com os seguintes descritores em português e inglês: “Má oclusão” + “Chupetas”; “Má oclusão” + “Alimentação Artificial”; “Má oclusão” + “Mamadeira”, além das palavras “Bico Ortodôntico” + “Bico Convencional”. Critérios de seleção: Foram incluídos estudos que apresentassem em seus métodos a comparação de grupos que utilizaram chupeta e/ou mamadeira com bico convencional com grupos que utilizaram o bico ortodôntico, sem delimitação temporal. Análise dos dados: A análise do artigo na íntegra foi realizada de modo sistemático, com as seguintes categorias tabelando os resultados pertinentes: objetivo, método - casuística e avaliação, resultados e conclusão. Resultados: Foram encontrados 1.041 trabalhos, período de 1969 a 2013, desses foram excluídos 848 trabalhos, devido aos critérios de exclusão, e outros 174 que eram repetições. Foram lidos na íntegra 19 trabalhos, dos quais quatro artigos atenderam aos critérios de inclusão propostos, e três trabalhos foram incluídos na metanálise. Tais resultados expressaram que não há diferenças significantes entre os bicos ortodôntico e convencional quanto às implicações no sistema estomatognático. Conclusão: Não há possibilidade de concluir a existência de diferenças quanto às consequências no sistema estomatognático ocasionadas por bicos convencionais e ortodônticos de chupetas/mamadeiras.

INTRODUCTION

It is known that breastfeeding provides the baby with more subsidies for survival in adverse environmental conditions(11 Winberg J. Mother and newborn baby: mutual regulation of physiology and behavior: a selective review. Dev Psychiatry. 2005;47(3):217-29. PMid:16252290.). As recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, breastfeeding should occur for 2 years or more, being the exclusive source of nutrition for 6 months(22 Kull I, Melen E, Alm J, Hallberg J, Svartengren M, van Hage MV, et al. Breast-feeding in relation to asthma, lung function, and sensitization in young schoolchildren. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010;125(5):1013-9. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2010.01.051. PMid:20392479.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2010.01...
). Studies have shown the many benefits of breastfeeding, such as reduced risk of asthma(33 Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Secretaria de Atenção à Saúde. Saúde da criança: nutrição infantil: aleitamento materno e alimentação complementar. Brasília: Editora do Ministério da Saúde; 2009. 112 p. (Série A: Normas e Manuais Técnicos. Cadernos de Atenção Básica; 23).)and obesity in childhood and adolescence(44 Bogen DL, Hanusa BH, Whitaker RC. The effect of breast-feeding with and without formula use on the risk of obesity at 4 years of age. Obes Res. 2004;12(9):1527-35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/oby.2004.190. PMid:15483218.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/oby.2004.190...
), as well as benefitting lung function(33 Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Secretaria de Atenção à Saúde. Saúde da criança: nutrição infantil: aleitamento materno e alimentação complementar. Brasília: Editora do Ministério da Saúde; 2009. 112 p. (Série A: Normas e Manuais Técnicos. Cadernos de Atenção Básica; 23).,55 Duijts L, Jaddoe VWV, Hofman A, Moll HA.

) and participating in the development of orofacial structures and functions(77 Bervian J, Fontana M, Caus B. Relação entre amamentação, desenvolvimento motor bucal e hábitos bucais: revisão de literatura. RFO. 2008;13(2):76-81.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-12-9...
).

Literature agrees that breastfeeding for a long time is related to a lower incidence of non-nutritive sucking habits(1010 Queiroz AM, Silva FWGP, Borsatto MC, Nelson P Fo, Silva LAB, Díaz-Serrano KV. Inter-relação padrão de aleitamento e hábitos de sucção não nutritivos. Odontol. Clín. Cient. 2010;9(3):209-14.,1111 Ferreira FV, Marchionatti AM, Oliveira MDM, Praetzel JR. Associação entre a duração do aleitamento materno e sua influência sobre o desenvolvimento de hábitos orais deletérios. Rev Sul-Bras Odontol. 2010;7(1):35-40.). Thus, the use of bottles and pacifiers may result in the interruption of breastfeeding(1212 Souza SNDH, Migoto MT, Rossetto EG, Mello DF. Prevalência de aleitamento materno e fatores associados no município de Londrina-PR. Acta Paul Enferm. 2012;25(1):29-35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-21002012000100006.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-21002012...
).

Harmful oral habits, such as thumb sucking or the use of pacifiers and bottles, are learned and often repeated patterns of muscle contraction(1414 Cavassani VGS, Ribeiro SG, Nemr NK, Greco AM, Köhle J, Lehn CN. Hábitos orais de sucção: estudo piloto em população de baixa renda. Rev Bras Otorrinolaringol. 2003;69(1):106-10. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-72992003000100017.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-72992003...
) and may cause damage to the morphophysiology of the stomatognathic system(77 Bervian J, Fontana M, Caus B. Relação entre amamentação, desenvolvimento motor bucal e hábitos bucais: revisão de literatura. RFO. 2008;13(2):76-81.

). Among these, the most common are malocclusion(1515 Peres KG, Barros AJD, Peres MA, Victora CG. Efeitos da amamentação e dos hábitos de sucção sobre as oclusopatias num estudo de coorte. Rev Saude Publica. 2007;41(3):343-50. PMid:17515986.

In addition, harmful oral habits are risk factors for mouth breathing and changes in chewing and swallowing(1717 Santos ET No, Oliveira AE, Barbosa RW, Zandonade E, Oliveira ZFL.

Rev Bras Crescimento Desenvolv Hum. 2009;19(2):237-48.). The severity of the changes found is directly related to the frequency, duration, and intensity of the habit(2222 Tomita NE, Bijella VT, Franco LJ. Relação entre hábitos bucais e má oclusão em pré-escolares. Ver Saúde Pública. 2000;34(3):299-303.), as well as the individual predisposition, conditioned by genetic factors(2323 Ignacchiti PR, Gesualdi KC, Cursage FPC, Almada RO. Hábito de sucção de chupeta e mordida aberta anterior na criança com dentição decídua. Rev CEFAC. 2003;5(3):241-6.).

Regarding the sustainability of such habits, the contribution of the child's emotional and nutritional factors(2424 Freud S. Oral habits. In: Freud S. Obras completas. Madrid: Nueva; 1973. p. 3379-423.), as well as the socioeconomic and cultural context, such as maternal employment, occupation of the person in the household with the higher income, and the low level of income available for family, should be emphasized(2222 Tomita NE, Bijella VT, Franco LJ. Relação entre hábitos bucais e má oclusão em pré-escolares. Ver Saúde Pública. 2000;34(3):299-303.,2525 Carvalho DM, Alves JB, Alves MH. Prevalência de maloclusões em escolares de baixo nível socioeconômico. Rev. Gaúch. Odontol. 2011;59(1):71-7.).

It is clear that harmful oral habits cause damage to the stomatognathic system, both to the bone structures and the orofacial functions. However, the differences in the impact of the use of orthodontic pacifier/bottle nozzles in comparison to conventional ones are not clear.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to verify, through a systematic literature review, if the type of pacifier and bottle nozzle, orthodontic or conventional, have any influence on the changes found in the stomatognathic system caused by the maintenance of the sucking habit.

RESEARCH STRATEGY

This is an exploratory, descriptive study, in which we used the systematic review technique for data collection. This technique aims to identify studies already completed related to the subject of interest, evaluating their results(2626 Sampaio RF, Mancini MC. Estudos de revisão sistemática: um guia para síntese criteriosa da evidência científica. Rev. Bras. Fisioter. 2007;11(1):83-9.).

The search was conducted in March 2013 and updated in July 2014, without temporal delimitation, by consulting three databases–Lilacs, Medline, and Embase–as well as the use of the Google Scholar™ search engine. For the queries, we used the following DeCS/MeSH descriptors:“Má oclusão,” “Chupetas,” “Alimentação Artificial,” “Mamadeira,” “Malocclusion,” “Pacifiers,” “Bottle Feeding,” and “Nursing Bottles.” The following descriptors not included in DeCS/MeSH were also used:“BicoOrtodôntico” and “Bico Convencional,”“Orthodontic Pacifiers,” and “Conventional Pacifiers.”The search strategies used are shown in Table 1, referencing the adopted database or search engine.

Table 1
Search strategies in databases and search engine

The search and selection of the articles were carried out independently by two judges, who previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria. After the data extraction, they confronted their findings and resolved discrepancies by consensus.

SELECTION CRITERIA

The studies included were those which featured, in their methods, the comparison between groups who used pacifiers and/or bottles with conventional nozzles and groups who used orthodontic nozzles. The following exclusion criteria were considered: review articles and studies that did not compare the evaluations of populations who used orthodontic nozzles and conventional nozzles. Table 2 shows the criteria adopted for the selection of scientific articles considered in the study.

Table 2
Inclusion criteria adopted for this study for the selection of scientific articles included

The titles and abstracts of the studies queried were examined to see if they met the preestablished inclusion and exclusion criteria. The full versions of the abstracts included were accessed afterward, to complete the evaluation of the study and decide for its inclusion in the study.

The analysis of the article in its entirety was carried out systematically, tabling the relevant results to the following categories: objective, method–casuistry and evaluation, results, and primary and secondary outcomes. Criticisms and observations to the works were carried out, aiming at the convergence to the objective of the present study. In addition, the studies were classified according to their type and the level of evidence, comprising 10 hierarchical levels, from level 1, with the least evidence (non-systematic literature reviews), up to level 10, with the most evidence (systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials)(2727 Kyzas PA. Evidence-based oral and maxillofacial surgery. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2008;66(5):973-86. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.joms.2008.01.024. PMid:18423289.

,2828 Hood PD. Scientific research and evidence-based practice. San Francisco: WestEd; 2003.).

DATA ANALYSIS

Meta-analysis of the data was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (Biostat, Inc.; Englewood, NJ, USA), considering that the articles had the same experimental design(2929 Lovatto PA, Lehnen CR, Andretta I, Carvalho AD, Hauschild L. Meta-análise em pesquisas científicas: enfoque em metodologias. R. Bras. Zootec. 2007;36(supl esp):285-94.).

RESULTS

A total of 1,079 studies were found, from 1969 to 2013. From the Medline database, 121 articles (11%) were collected; 66 from LILACS (6%); 125 from Embase (12%), and 767 studies from the Google Scholar search tool (71%). After the analysis of the studies' titles and abstracts, 886 were excluded for expressing greater emphasis on the characterization of the population with and without history of any oral habit harmful and for not presenting the comparison between groups using different nozzles, as well as 174 repeated studies. Thus, only 19 articles were analyzed in full.

Table 3 shows the results of the cross-checks, considering the databases adopted by the intersection of DeCS/MeSH descriptors and keywords used, in English and Portuguese, for the search conducted.

Table 3
Results of search strategies per database, with the number of articles found and those considered for inclusion in this study

Of the 19 articles analyzed in full, 15 were excluded because they addressed the damage caused by harmful oral habits, and did not include the comparison between the orthodontic and conventional nozzles. Thus, we selected four works for this study. Figure 1 illustrates the process of selection of the articles related to the organization chart of systematic search.

Of the selected studies, two were collected from Embase, one from Medline, and one from Google Scholar. Among these studies, three(3030 Adair SM, Milano M, Dushku JC.

Three of the studies were cross-sectional and one was a case-control, as shown in Chart 2, and they sought to investigate the habit of the use of the nozzle on the pacifier, and only one study(3333 Meyers AMPH, Hertzberg JDMD. Bottle-feeding and malocclusion: is there an association? Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 1988;93(2):149-52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0889-5406(88)90293-4. PMid:3422530.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0889-5406(88)9...
) was focused on the investigation of the nozzle on the pacifier and bottle. For objective and subjective measurements of the consequences of the use of nozzles, these studies used questionnaires characterizing the history of habit, speech-language, and dental examinations.

Statistical results

To perform the meta-analysis, we considered the three cross-sectional studies(3030 Adair SM, Milano M, Dushku JC. Evaluation of the effects of orthodontic pacifiers on the primary dentitions of 24- to 59-month-old children: preliminary study. Pediatr Dent. 1992;14(1):13-8. PMid:1502109.

JBP: Rev Ibero Am Odontopediatr Odontol Bebê. 2004;7(38):360-4.).Each one presented a sample divided into three groups: subjects with no history of using conventional and orthodontic nozzles (control), subjects who used the conventional nozzle, and subjects who used the orthodontic nozzle. Thus, Table 4 shows the junction of these groups from the three studies, as well as the total sample and the number of subjects that presented open bite (OB) and cross-bite(CB).

Table 4
Presentation of the groups in the three cross-sectional studies, total sample, and occlusal changes found

The degree of heterogeneity was calculated by the I2, which showed I2 = 0% for OB and I2 = 3.5% for CB. In both cases, low values were obtained, indicating that the heterogeneity did not compromise the meta-analysis. Publication bias was calculated by the Egger test, which showed no statistically significant bias for OB (p = 0.487) and for CB (p = 0.216).

Graph 1 shows the result of the meta-analysis for the OB of the occurrence ratio of the orthodontic nozzle compared to the conventional nozzle. It was observed that the result favors a lower occurrence of OB with the use of orthodontic nozzles (OR = 0.650), but without statistical significance (p = 0.328).

Graph 2 shows the results of the meta-analysis for CB of the occurrence ratio of orthodontic nozzle compared to conventional nozzle. It was observed that the result favors a higher incidence of CB with the use of orthodontic nozzles (OR = 1.949), but without statistical significance (p = 0.118).

DISCUSSION

According to the results obtained, it can be observed that there is a shortage of scientific publications concerning the interference of nonnutritive sucking habits, performed with conventional and orthodontic nozzles, in the orofacial structures and functions. Despite the gap in the literature on the subject, this issue has a significant impact on the scientific community and statements are made as to the preferred use of the orthodontic nozzle, even without scientific proof of such conduct.

For this study, a population of children with a history of harmful oral habits was selected, with the use of orthodontic nozzles compared with the use of conventional nozzles, analyzing their implications on the stomatognathic system. Such study design resulted in a number of articles published in scientific journals being excluded, especially due to the lack of comparison between the implications of orthodontic and conventional nozzles.

It was found, in the excluded articles, that there is a focus on the consequences of breastfeeding as the exclusive source of nutrition of a period of 6 months, according to the guidelines of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, with the consequences of its replacement for artificial feeding, using the bottle, regardless of the nozzle adopted. These articles evidence the recommendation for the use of orthodontic nozzle, but no investigation or citation about the damages to the craniofacial bone structure, teeth, and orofacial functions and structures.

The studies included in this review were published in journals of the Odontopediatrics field, between 1988 and 2004, three of which had a cross-sectional design, and one was a case–control study. Cross-sectional studies have a high descriptive potential and ease of representativeness of the population, making it possible to investigate the association between exposure to a particular factor and change. As for case-control studies, they are conducted with patients with and without diseases, seeking only the history of the exposure factor(3434 Rouquayrol MZ, Almeida N Fo. Epidemiologia & saúde. Rio de Janeiro: Guanabara Koogan; 2003.).

In addition, the studies selected consider children in age ranges between the deciduous and mixed dentition, and the study admitted a population aged between 10 and 12 years, focusing on the investigation of the need for orthodontic treatment, from the performance of harmful oral habits with orthodontic or conventional nozzles(3333 Meyers AMPH, Hertzberg JDMD. Bottle-feeding and malocclusion: is there an association? Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 1988;93(2):149-52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0889-5406(88)90293-4. PMid:3422530.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0889-5406(88)9...
).

It is noteworthy that this study(3333 Meyers AMPH, Hertzberg JDMD. Bottle-feeding and malocclusion: is there an association? Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 1988;93(2):149-52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0889-5406(88)90293-4. PMid:3422530.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0889-5406(88)9...
) investigated the relationship between the use of nozzles on a pacifier and baby bottle, and used only the application of a questionnaire as an evaluation tool. The study itself ends with the suggestion that further studies are conducted by means of clinical evaluation of the subjects. The authors considered the possibility of bias in the responses of the participants, as well as the limitation of the questions asked. A gap that can be observed, for example, is that it is not known whether children (31.1%) with no indication of orthodontic treatment showed a need to this treatment.

The other studies(3030 Adair SM, Milano M, Dushku JC. Evaluation of the effects of orthodontic pacifiers on the primary dentitions of 24- to 59-month-old children: preliminary study. Pediatr Dent. 1992;14(1):13-8. PMid:1502109.

-3232 Mesomo C, Losso EM. Avaliação dos Efeitos do Uso Prolongado de Chupetas Convencionais e Ortodônticas Sobre a Dentição Decídua. JBP: Rev Ibero Am Odontopediatr Odontol Bebê. 2004;7(38):360-4.) investigated the comparison of the use of orthodontic and conventional nozzles considering only subjects with a history of pacifier use, and applied a questionnaire as an evaluation tool, as well as conducting clinical evaluation as to the dental occlusion. From these three studies, only one investigated myofunctional orofacial aspects, in addition to the occlusal conditions, and an evaluation was conducted by a single audiologist, collecting qualitative data(3131 Zardetto CG, Rodrigues CR, Stefani FM. Effects of different pacifiers on the primary dentition and oral myofunctional strutures of preschool children. Pediatr Dent. 2002;24(6):552-60. PMid:12528948.).

The use of equipment for quantitative measurements should be considered, as well as the addition of investigations on orofacial functions, in order to link the execution of harmful habits with early weaning (interference in the nutritive sucking function) as an example(1212 Souza SNDH, Migoto MT, Rossetto EG, Mello DF. Prevalência de aleitamento materno e fatores associados no município de Londrina-PR. Acta Paul Enferm. 2012;25(1):29-35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-21002012000100006.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-05822012...
).

Regarding the methodological rigor, it was observed that a study conducted the calibration of examiners and intra- and interexaminers validation(3030 Adair SM, Milano M, Dushku JC. Evaluation of the effects of orthodontic pacifiers on the primary dentitions of 24- to 59-month-old children: preliminary study. Pediatr Dent. 1992;14(1):13-8. PMid:1502109.), while the other two studies conducted to data collection through one examiner, who was blind about the history of pacifier-sucking habit(3131 Zardetto CG, Rodrigues CR, Stefani FM. Effects of different pacifiers on the primary dentition and oral myofunctional strutures of preschool children. Pediatr Dent. 2002;24(6):552-60. PMid:12528948.,3232 Mesomo C, Losso EM. Avaliação dos Efeitos do Uso Prolongado de Chupetas Convencionais e Ortodônticas Sobre a Dentição Decídua. JBP: Rev Ibero Am Odontopediatr Odontol Bebê. 2004;7(38):360-4.).

It is noteworthy that the three studies that conducted clinical evaluations divided their sample into three groups: with history/use of conventional pacifiers, with history/use of orthodontic pacifier, and no history of pacifier use(3030 Adair SM, Milano M, Dushku JC. Evaluation of the effects of orthodontic pacifiers on the primary dentitions of 24- to 59-month-old children: preliminary study. Pediatr Dent. 1992;14(1):13-8. PMid:1502109.

31 Zardetto CG, Rodrigues CR, Stefani FM. Effects of different pacifiers on the primary dentition and oral myofunctional strutures of preschool children. Pediatr Dent. 2002;24(6):552-60. PMid:12528948.
-3232 Mesomo C, Losso EM. Avaliação dos Efeitos do Uso Prolongado de Chupetas Convencionais e Ortodônticas Sobre a Dentição Decídua. JBP: Rev Ibero Am Odontopediatr Odontol Bebê. 2004;7(38):360-4.).

The articles selected in this study agree that there are occlusal and orofacial implications to the structures in the two types of nozzles, but with no statistical differences between them. The meta-analysis also showed no statistically significant difference between the two types of nozzle, either to OB, or to CB. Thus, studies with greater methodological rigor regarding the sample evaluation tools are needed, in addition to the need for further applied studies with a representative sample.

CONCLUSION

Faced with the shortage of articles published in indexed journals and the results of the analysis, it was observed that there is no possibility to conclude whether there are differences as to the consequences to the stomatognathic system from using different pacifier/bottle nozzles.
