Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is essential to achieve optimal growth, development and health, in contrast, bottle feeding is responsible for the development of deforming oral habits that cause dental malocclusion. Objective: To determine the effects related to the use of bottle in children from 5 to 10 years old in the Dental Clinic of Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil, in the semester A-2018. Materials and methods: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out, the sample consisted of 110 patients, the time they used the bottle, the type of malocclusion, overjet, and the presence of deforming oral habits were evaluated. Discussion: Alvarez et al. (2006) found a bad class II occlusion of 34.7% associated with bottle use and in the present article it was 24% and Rodriguez et al. (2011) found disfiguring habits associated with the bottle in a 15% in the present study found 37%, confirming the hypothesis generated, that the use of bottle has direct repercussions on the anterior sector, mainly on the overjet and deforming oral habits influence the dentition. Results: Male patients predominated the study, they tended to use bottle for more than two years, most patients tend to Class I dental malocclusion, dominant overjet was positive and overbite in norm and patients in this study mostly had no habits, followed by the group of digital suction patients. Conclusion: So it can be concluded that the effects on dental malposition are produced by the prolonged use of bottle.
