Evaluation of Mother's Complementary Feeding Knowledge and Occlusion.

AIM: Mothers' understanding of feeding methods and how they affect deciduous dentition were the focus of this study.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

This study looked at people from different parts of the population. In total, 230 moms of children aged 6 months to 5 years who completed an oral health questionnaire were included in the study. Mothers' awareness of feeding patterns and their impact on deciduous dentition were examined in the study.

RESULTS

Illiterate moms' children showed a significant difference in the quality of their occlusion compared to similarly raised children of literate mothers. Children who began supplementary feeding before the age of 6 months were more likely to have occlusion changes.

CONCLUSION

Malocclusion prevalence was shown to be unrelated to meal behaviors. However, further research is required as there are just a few studies currently available.
