Abstract

Dental and oral hygiene can determine the risk of developing dental and oral diseases. One of the most common dental and oral health problems in children is dental caries. Efforts are needed to detect earlier the potential for caries to occur, so that preven-tive measures can be taken earlier. Apart from saliva, another biomarker that can be used for early detection of caries is the hor-monal fingerprint. Hormonal fingerprinting offers a convenient assessment method for detecting caries. A literature study is conducted by collecting valid information and in accordance with the topic of study then synthesizing it. The ten articles ana-lyzed showed various results showing the relationship between hormonal fingerprints and caries. It is concluded that hormonal fingerprints or the 2D:4D digit ratio can help provide insight into the baby's prenatal life which can provide information about behavior, the possibility of disease, intelligence, so that it can act as a positive predictor for various dental conditions such as the risk of caries, oral squamous cell carcinoma, malocclusion and prognathism.

Abstract

Breathing is a vital process for the human body that occurs normally through the nose. One of the most common oral habits in children is mouth breathing. Mouthbreathing is a respiratory dysfunction that affects approximately 10-15% of the pediatric po-pulation. The etiology is multifactorial, with the most common cause is obstruction in the nasopharynx. Mouth breathing has wide-ranging consequences and involves different areas of the body, including the mouth, craniofacial development, upper and lower airway. This paper is aimed to determine the impact of mouth breathing on dentocraniofacial changes in children; using literaturestudy by collecting sources that relevant to the topic, processing data using the matrix method, and synthesizing infor-mation from journals that are used as references. It was concluded that mouth breathing habit in the children population have an impact to dentocraniofacial changes.
