ABSTRACT

Background: malocclusions are considered a major oral health problem and they are mostly associated with oral habits which are not corrected at an early age.
Objective: to analyze the effectiveness of an educational intervention in children with oral habits aged 5 to 11 years.
Methods: a before and after intervention study with a quasi-experimental design was conducted from October 2008 to April 2009. It included children with oral habits aged 5 to 11 years who attend the Guerrillero Heroico Primary School of the Area II in the municipality of Cienfuegos. Parents and guardians signed the consent for their children participation in the research. Preventive and therapeutic educational measures were used. The results of the intervention were assessed through a before-and-after interview with children, parents or guardians and educators.
Results: the level of awareness of children, parents and teachers increased significantly as well as the correction of oral habits in the majority of children, especially tongue thrusting, the use of feeding bottle and pacifier. Better results were found in females. Dentomaxillofacial deformities diminished after the intervention, primarily upper incisors deviated towards the oral vestibule and increased overjet.
Conclusions: educational intervention in school-age children contributed to the correction of oral habits.
