Dental Complications of Sucking Thumbs
Journal Title: Interventions in Pediatric Dentistry Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Putting a finger in the mouth and sucking it is the normal habit of all children that will not leave for many years. Sucking a thumb is a natural reaction in children that may be beneficial or harmful. Sucking a thumb or other fingers and sucking a pacifier or other objects gives a sense of safety or joy to the infants; and helps them to better understand the world around themselves. Behavioral and mood changes, reactions to family differences and lack of affection are the most important factors in sucking fingers in children. Significant complications such as speech impairment, irregularities in teeth, malocclusion, intra-oral ulcers, and wounds and scars on the thumbs can occur after long sucking of the fingers. With sucking, young children feel more relaxed and fall asleep. Most children leave this harmless habit before the age of two without any worries or interventions but the sucking habit in some children is so severe or repeated that it becomes a dental and social problem. Green synthesis has been engaged in synthesis of highly stabilized nanoparticles. Nanoparticles integrity maintenance is the challenge of green synthesis. Copper nanoparticles were synthesized by leaf extract of aloe vera plant. The green synthesis of the copper nanoparticle is a speedy, economically feasible, and efficient method. Phenolic content in plant extracts dissolved in water, degradable and catalyzed synthesis of the nanoparticle as capping and a reducing agent.
