Prevalência e fatores associados à respiração oral em escolares participantes do projeto Santo Amaro-Recife,2005

Abstract: Aim: To determine the prevalence of mouth breathing children at the santo amaro project/ esef/ upe, and study their main facial and behavior alterations. Study design: transversal study. Materials and methods: there were 150 children in the sample, with ages ranging from 8 to 10 years. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire and clinical examinations. As for their breathing assessment, two tests were carried out: test 1-breath steam against a mirror; and test 2 -water remains in the mouth with lips clos… Show more

“…1 The mouth-breathing (MB) syndrome occurs when nasal breathing is substituted by a breathing pattern in which the nose is supplemented by oral respiration. 2 It may be related to genetic factors, incorrect oral habits or nasal obstruction of variable severity and duration. Children who are chronic mouth breathers may develop speech disorders, facial deformities and abnormal body posture and inadequate positioning of the teeth.…”

“…In the present investigation, in order to diagnose breathing pattern, 2 tests were carried out, and their results are different and complementary to each other 21,22 : the Glatzel's metal plate 23,24 associated with water dwelling in the mouth for 3 minutes 12 . These tests are fundamental, especially when one tries to analyze exclusive oral breathers, who are identified through the vapor distribution test, which helps differentiate individuals with mixed breathing.…”

“…Individuals with respiratory disorders are more prone to having repetitive episodes of colds, spasmodic cough and hoarseness. They may also develop other disorders, such as: cranial-facial deformities, malocclusion, dry lips, sleepy face, spots around the eyes, speech disorders, postural and gait changes, which all interfere in school performance, professional performance and social relations 38,39,21,22 . Moreover, they have a greater tendency in developing caries and periodontal problems because of the drying in their oral cavities, which without proper lubrication becomes more prone to bacteria and biofilm 40 .…”

“…Individuals with allergic rhinitis may have enlarged adenoids, tonsils, the tissue coating the nasal concha and deviated septum, leading to changes in the breathing pattern for a predominantly mouth breathing. This, depending on its duration, can cause functional, structural, pathological, occlusal and behavior alterations 5,6 . Within this context, the aim of this study is to determine the occurrence of allergic rhinitis, oral or oronasal breathing and orofacial alterations in asthmatics.…”

“…Similar results were obtained in a survey conducted in the city of Belo Horizonte, which showed that among 560 children and adolescents with asthma, allergic rhinitis diagnosis was confirmed in 65% Allergic rhinitis is an important etiological factor of mouth breathing 10,19,20 . Papers related to the prevalence of mouth breathing are few in the literature and present percentages ranging around 58-75% 6 . As for the breathing mode, expressed in Table 1, we obtained a higher prevalence of nasal breathing (67.1%) compared to oral (32.9%).…”
