Overview

Systematic review shows breastfeeding duration influences dental caries and malocclusion in children, suggesting important recommendations.

Key Points

  • Prolonged breastfeeding beyond 12 months increases the risk of dental caries, especially with nocturnal feeding.
  • The risk of caries rises progressively, becoming significant after 24 months of breastfeeding duration.
  • Extended breastfeeding may protect against malocclusions while increasing caries risk under specific conditions.
  • Study reviewed 10 cohort and cross-sectional studies following PRISMA guidelines for clinical relevance.
