| Popis: | 104 Aim: To investigate the oral habits and malocclusion of children with developmental delay (CDD) in Taiwan. Methods: In this cross-sectional survey included 180 two to five-year-old (3.72 ± 0.93) CDD. Those children recruited from 24 early intervention institutions in Taiwan by purposive sampling were examined by trained dentists between Dec. 2013 and Dec. 2014. The occlusal status was recorded by inspection, and a questionnaire, including oral habits, was completed by the care giver. Informed consent was obtained. This survey was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital. The chi-square and multiple logistic regression were performed for statistical analysis. Results: The most common oral habit since born among CDD in Taiwan was non-nutritive sucking habit (n=111, 63.79%). The prevalence of anterior open bite was 15.00% (n=27), which was the most common malocclusion. While adjusting for sex and age, CDD with non-nutritive sucking habit more than 24 months were 3.70 times of the chance for anterior open bite (95% CI = 2.47 to 34.69). Conclusion: 1. The most common oral habit since born among the CDD in Taiwan was non-nutritive sucking habits. 2. The most common malocclusion of CDD in Taiwan was anterior open bite. 3. Non-nutritive sucking habit more than 24 months is the determinant factor of anterior open bite among the CDD in Taiwan. |
