Comparison of soft-tissue, dental, and skeletal characteristics in children with and without Tongue Thrusting habit
Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2013Co-Authors: Uma B Dixit, Raghavendra M ShettyAbstract:Background: Tongue Thrusting habit is a condition in which the Tongue makes contact with any teeth anterior to the molars during swallowing. Abnormal positioning of Tongue may result in dental and skeletal abnormalities. Objective: The aim of the present study was to study and compare soft-tissue, dental, and skeletal morphologic characteristics in children with and without Tongue Thrusting habit. Materials and Methods: A total of 21 children with Tongue Thrusting habit and 21 children without any habit between age 10 and 14 years were selected for the study. Various soft-issue, dental and cephalometric parameters were measured and compared statistically. Results: Significantly, higher number of children with Tongue Thrusting showed lip incompetency (86% vs. 14%), mouth-breathing habit (38% vs. none), hyperactive mentalis muscle activity (24% vs. none), Open-bite (52% vs. none) and lisping (86% vs. none) when compared to children without Tongue Thrust. Children with Tongue Thrust showed increased upper lip thickness and proclination of maxillary incisors No differences were found in angulation of mandibular incisors, inter-premolar or inter-molar widths and all the skeletal parameters studied. Conclusions: Tongue Thrust seemed to affect some of the soft-tissue and dental characteristics causing lip incompetency, mouth-breathing habit, and hyperactive mentalis muscle activity, lisping, open-bite, and proclination of maxillary incisors; however, no significant skeletal changes were observed.

Evaluation of soft-tissue, dental, and skeletal characteristics in children with and without Tongue Thrusting habit: A review of literature
2014Co-Authors: Valentina Caridi, Gabriella GalluccioAbstract:Although swallowing is the first function to be established in the stomatognathic system, it is the last process to mature, because while the bone structures are growing and the dentition has not yet erupted, the Tongue cannot acquire mature positioning and movement. Only when the child is around two years of age can an inconstant swallowing pattern that is transitional to the mature pattern (known as somatic swallowing) be expected, with the Tongue at the limits of the dental arcade, the soft tissues more adjusted and the lips sealed. A visceral form of swallowing can persist well beyond the fourth year of life. Many studies have proved that Tongue Thrusting plays a significant role in the etiology of some orofacial deformities. To learn more about the relationship between Tongue function and the form of orofacial structures, it is important to recognize patients with abnormal swallowing patterns. Tongue Thrusting habit is a condition in which the Tongue makes contact with any teeth anterior to the molars during swallowing. Abnormal positioning of Tongue may result in dental and skeletal abnormalities. Through a careful analysis of the scientific literature, we want to analyze a comparison of soft-tissue, dental, and skeletal characteristics in children with and without Tongue Thrusting habit; we were chosen from "PubMed" several publications about growth and development, occlusion/orthodontics, oral habits, deglutition. Significantly, higher number of children with Tongue Thrusting showed lip incompetency, mouth-breathing habit, hyperactive mentalis muscle activity, open-bite and lisping when compared to children without Tongue Thrust. Children with Tongue Thrust showed increased upper lip thickness and proclination of maxillary incisors.

Tongue-Thrust and the Stability of Overjet Correction
Angle Orthodontist, 2009Co-Authors: Mary V. Andrianopoulos, Marvin L. HansonAbstract:Abstract Long-term study of incidence of Tongue-Thrust from age 4 to 18 finds the dysfunction disappearing in some individuals and appearing in others. A small study of the effect of Tongue-Thrust therapy on stability of overjet correction suggests a beneficial effect.

Tongue-Thrust in preschool children
American Journal of Orthodontics, 2004Co-Authors: Marvin L. Hanson, Logan W. Barnard, James L. CaseAbstract:Abstract 1. 1. Eighty-four (39 per cent) of the 214 preschool children in this study had a Tongue-Thrust pattern for saliva swallowing; 117 (55 per cent) for liquid swallowing; and 146 (68 per cent) for swallowing solids, according to the conservative definition of Tongue-Thrust. 2. 2. One hundred sixty-four (77 per cent) had a Thrust for saliva swallowing; 181 (85 per cent) for liquid swallowing; and 190 (89 per cent) for solid swallowing, according to the liberal definition. 3. 3. With the liberal definition of Tongue-Thrust, a significant χ 2 was obtained comparing large tonsils and small tonsils for liquid and solid swallows, lack of mentalis contraction, or some degree of contraction for saliva swallows. 4. 4. With the conservative definition of Tongue-Thrust, a significant χ 2 result was obtained comparing large tonsils with small tonsils for solid and liquid swallows, comparing nasal breathing with mouth breathing, and comparing high, narrow palate arches with normal arches. 5. 5. Among these subjects there was a considerable variability of swallowing patterns. This variability was noted in terms of the medium being swallowed. 6. 6. Most of the variables which have been reported in the literature as being causally related to Tongue-Thrust (feeding patterns, masseter muscle activity, thumb-sucking habits, rugae roughness, and, to a certain degree, mentalis muscle contraction) were not found to be significantly related in these subjects.
