Objective: To analyze the habit of thumb sucking as an influential factor in malocclusion in second childhood patients. Method: Descriptive observational study, the population was 100 children between 5 and 12 years of age in the Valle Hermoso Campesino Health Centre. Results: From the clinical data it is evident that there is the highest percentage with 23% of patients who are between 5 and 9 years old, 21% represent 6 years olds, 18% are 7 year olds and finally 16% belong to 8 year olds who are patients attending the Valle Hermoso Peasant Health Centre. Conclusion: Finger sucking is a significant factor in the development of malocclusion in second childhood patients. Early identification and intervention are essential to prevent and treat these problems.
