CABRERA SANCHEZ, Teresa Virginia et al. Occlusal interferences in children with temporary and early mixed dentition. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.3, pp. 321-327. ISSN 1029-3019.
A descriptive and prevalence investigation was carried out in 80 children between 5-6 years who attended "Ana de Quesada" day care center in Santiago de Cuba from October, 2010 to September, 2011, to specify the influence of some risk factors in the emergence of tooth interferences in school children with early temporary and mixed dentition. The prevalence of tooth interferences was high in the studied series, in whom predisposing factors for the emergence of morphological and functional changes of the occlusion: nursing and non appropriate diet, deforming habits such as to ingest milk in baby bottle, postural habit on the face and lingual dysfunction were determined. It is inferred from this that the early detection of the occlusal interferences allows to intercept the teeth malocclusions, as well as to prevent dentomaxillofacial anomalies and dysfunctions of the temporomandibular articulation
