Abstract

Background: Digit sucking habit in children arised because of early weaning, feeling of afraid, hunger, sleepy, bored, anxiety and other psychological problems. Digit sucking habit that continued until four years of age or older can lead to malocclusion. Malocclusion is an abnormality in the arrangement of teeth associated with changes in the growth and development of the craniofacial system. However, there has been no literature review that discusses this matter. Method: Literature review by conducting a literature search using several data bases, such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and NCBI. The literature discusses related to, digit sucking habit in children, anxiety that causes finger sucking habits in children and the incidence of malocclusion in children due to finger sucking habits.Discussion: The results of the literature review that have been carried out show that the anxiety experienced by children can cause finger habits as a form of adaptive response to anxiety. Characteristics of malocclusion due to finger sucking habits that are commonly found in children are usually: AOB, posterior crossbite, and overjet.Conclusion: It is very rare to examine the relationship of anxiety in children to finger habits and activities with malocclusion in children, so further research is needed.

The prevalence of dental caries in children in 2018 in Indonesia is still very high, especially at the age of 3-4 years, the prevalence of caries reaches 36.4%, while at the age of 5-9 years it is 54%. The behavior of parents, especially mothers, has an influence on children's oral health, because mothers are role models as well as children's closest figures since birth. There are still many parents who do not know that their behavior affects their child's behavior, and do not consider it important to take care of their child's teeth.Method: This study aims to analyze the relationship between parental behavior on the caries index in children, and also to determine the effect of caries on the quality of life of preschool children. The search for journal literature in this study used 3 databases, namely Google Scholar, Pubmed and NCBI according to keywords, then screened and selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.Result: The behavior of parents, especially mothers, will determine the health of children's teeth. In addition, children's behavior also plays a significant role in maintaining the health of their teeth, one of which is in terms of brushing teeth, diet.Conclusion: Parents who have poor behavior in maintaining dental health have a higher risk of developing dental caries than mothers who have a good attitude.
