Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1 The removal of nutritive (bottle-feeding) and non-nutritive (pacifier) sucking habits in 3-year-old children allows the correct occlusal development, ie, no open bite or presence of overjet that is normally present in children with a sucking habit. The determination of this variable will be performed by the analysis of the plaster models.;Expected outcome 2 The removal of nutritive (bottle-feeding) and non-nutritive (pacifier) sucking habits in 3-year-old children allows correct speech development, which will be assessed by the MBGR protocol at the beginning and at the end of the study.;Expected outcome 3 The removal of nutritive (bottle-feeding) and non-nutritive (pacifier) sucking habits in 3-year-old children allows the correct development of mastication, which will be evaluated by the Mastication Observation and Evaluation instrument and also by the AMIOFE protocol - expanded at the beginning and end of the study.;Expected outcome 4 The removal of nutritive (bottle-feeding) and non-nutritive (pacifier) sucking habits in 3-year-old children allows the correct development of swallowing, which will be evaluated by the MBGR protocol at the beginning and at the end of the study.;Expected outcome 5 The removal of nutritive (bottle-feeding) and non-nutritive (pacifier) sucking habits in 3-year-old children allows the correct development of breathing, which will be evaluated by the MBGR protocol at the beginning and at the end of the study.
