Abstract
Bad habits and their clinical signs are consequences of the formation of conditional reflexes, which were generally grown by inappropriate external actions and have gradually become automatisms. They also may be wanted, conscious acts such as self-mutilation.
In this series of clinical cases we draw attention to their relatively frequent clinical manifestations in the oral cavity already in childhood. In particular, it is difficult to recognize these conditions which imitate more serious illnesses, and sometimes their elimination, as well.
