Análise eletromiográfica do músculo orbicular da boca em jovens com Classe II, 1ª divisão, e jovens com oclusão normal

Abstract: OBJETIVO: comparar, eletromiograficamente, os potenciais de ação do músculo orbicular da boca, segmentos superior e inferior, bilateralmente, em jovens com Classe II, 1ª divisão, e em jovens com oclusão normal, verificando a ocorrência ou não de diferenças na atividade eletromiográfica entre os grupos. MÉTODOS: a amostra consistiu-se de 50 jovens do sexo feminino, com idades entre 8 e 10 anos, com ausência de tratamento ortodôntico prévio, distribuídas em dois grupos: 25 com Classe II, 1ª divisão; e 25 com ocl… Show more

“…Breathing is indispensable to humans because it provides the necessary gas exchange that nourishes the tissues. However, if the nasal breathing function is somehow hindered, a mouth breathing pattern may be used, which might cause various impairments, such as postural changes, protruded shoulders, straight cervical spine, flexed head and neck; behavioral disorders, such as restlessness, irritation, restless sleep; inexpressive face with infraorbital dark circles; physiological disorders, such as nocturnal enuresis, day sleepiness; and learning disorders with inattention and lack of memory, despite a normal intelligence [1][2][3] . Hence, various authors already consider it a syndrome, named mouth-breathing syndrome (MBS) 4,5 .…”

“…There are different causes of MBS, including hypertrophy of the palatine and/or pharyngeal tonsils, nasal septum deviation, excessive retrognathism antagonizing the upper arch against the lower lip, hypertrophic turbinates, rhinitis, tumor, polyps, nasal fractures [1][2][3][4][5] . Given the impairments that may result from it and as it is already considered a public health issue 4,5 , drug and/or surgical treatments have been used to clear the upper airways 5 .…”

“…For the three muscles, electrode positioning followed the longitudinal direction of its fibers. A ground electrode was also fixed on the glabellar region, to avoid interference of electromagnetic currents 16 . The equipment used for the electromyographic tests were the Electromyograph Miotool produced temporalis (LT), right masseter (RM), left masseter (LM), upper orbicularis (UO), and lower orbicularis (LO), through tests that could show their behaviors.…”
