Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of non-nutritive sucking in preschool children in Daejeon. This study assessed the relationship between contributing factors influencing the prevalence of non-nutritive sucking. Also, the effects of non-nutritive sucking on the primary dentition were investigated. The study included 841 children 18~65 months of age that visited a pediatric private dental clinic for oral examination. Both children and their guardians were surveyed. It was found that 32.8% of children exhibited non-nutritive sucking, and 37.7% of females displayed this behavior. The number of females showing this behavior was significantly greater than that of males. The prevalence decreased significantly with the breast-feeding period, and there was no association with either birth rank or maternal occupation. Finger sucking (62.6%) was more prevalent and of longer duration than pacifier sucking (37.4%). Malocclusion of the primary dentition was associated with the duration of this behavior.

이 연구의 목적은 대전지역 미취학 어린이의 비수유성 빨기 습관의 유병률을 조사하고 이 유병률에 영향을 미치는 기여요인과의 관련성을 평가하며 비수유성 빨기 습관이 유치열의 교합에 어떤 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 구강검진을 위해 개인치과에 내원한 만 18개월에서 65개월 사이의 어린이 841명을 검사하고 그 보호자를 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였다. 전체 설문에 대답한 어린이 중 32.8%에서 비수유성 빨기 습관이 있었으며 여아에서 37.7%로 남아보다 유의하게 더 높았다. 모유 수유의 기간이 길어짐에 따라 비수유성 빨기 습관 유병률은 유의한 감소를 보였으며 출생순서와 엄마의 직업유무는 관련성이 없었다. 손가락빨기가 전체 비수유성 빨기 습관 어린이 중 62.6%로 인공젖꼭지빨기(37.4%)에 비해 더 우세하였고 습관의 지속기간 또한 유의하게 길었다. 비수유성 빨기 습관의 지속기간이 길어질수록 유치열 교합이상이 더 많이 관찰되었다.
