چکیده
Objective: To determine the incidence of oro-facial habits in children during mixed dentition phase and their effect on overjet and overbite. Material and Methods: A total number of 50 participants were examined clinically on a dental chair in upright position using mouth mirror and straight probe. Personal data and positive findings of the participants were recorded. Clinical oral examination was done for assessment of overjet and overbite. Mean and SD for age, overjet, overbite, duration and frequency were calculated. Comparison of these parameters between males and females of various habits were done. Results: The mean age of participants was found to be an age of 10.60±2.42 years. Amongst various habits, mouth breathing habit had the highest incidence. The intensity among various habits was observed to be moderate. . A mean value of Duration of various habits among all children was 3.38±1.36 years. A mean value for frequency among participants was found to be 9.02±6 hours/day. Overjet and overbite revealed a mean value of 4.96±3.08 mm and 1.14±2.33 mm respectively in all children. Conclusion: Mouth breathing habit has the highest incidence among all oro facial habits. Oro facial habits have significant effect on overjet while no effect was found on overbite.
