“…These results are in agreement with studies involving children with and without allergic rhinitis of Freitas et al [23] and Ghasempour et al [24] who observed that the palatal height was significantly greater in children with allergic rhinitis than in nasal-breathing group. In contrast Vieira et al [3] investigated white preschool individuals and found that mouth-breathing had no impact on palatal height.…”

“…As in our study, in another previous study, 28 it has also been observed that they have shorter maxillary and mandibular lengths. The pharynx was evaluated at five different vertical points, with the purpose of evaluating if there were any specific areas of bigger or smaller dimension.…”

Discussão: A comparação entre os grupos demonstrou que as crianças com rinite alérgica e respiração oral apresentam maior altura facial inferior, maior ângulo entre o plano de Frankfurt e o plano mandibular e maior ângulo entre a linha Sela-Nasion e o plano oclusal. Este grupo apresentou também menor comprimento da maxila e da mandíbula, menor overbite e diminuição do espaço aéreo respiratório superior. Conclusões: As crianças com rinite alérgica e respiração oral têm faces mais longas, maxilas e mandíbulas mais curtas e espaço aéreo faríngeo menor. Não existem diferenças estatísticas significativas entre grupos nas bases ósseas (plano sagital) ou inclinações dentárias. Palavras-chave: Cefalometria; Criança; Portugal; Respiração Oral, Rinite Alérgica. ABSTRACT Introduction:Orthodontists frequently treat children with mouth breathing. The purpose of the present study was to examine dental positions, skeletal effects and the pharyngeal airway space of children with chronic allergic rhinitis, when compared with a control group exhibiting a normal breathing pattern. Comparison between the allergic rhinitis and control group showed that there is an increased lower facial height, larger Frankfurt -mandibular plane angle and Sela-Nasion oclusal plane angle in children with chronic allergic rhinitis. This group also had a shorter maxillary and mandibular length, less overbite and decreased upper airway space. Conclusions: Children with allergic rhinitis and mouth breathing have longer faces, shorter maxillas and mandibles and a narrowed pharyngeal airway space. No statistical differences between the groups in sagital relationships or in dental inclinations were found.

“…These findings underline the applicability of these tests in a clinical setting, as confirmed in the literature. 14,15 A specific analysis was made of the nasal block score, because this symptom predominates in allergic rhinitis [14][15][16][17][18] and it relates directly with the presence of dysfunctions in the stomatognathic system 4,6,8,9,11,12,21,22 . Table 5 shows the comparison of this symptom in both groups, which revealed a statistically significant difference.…”

Mout h breathing can cause structural and functional alterations to the stomatognathic system. Aim: the aim of this investigation was to study breathing, chewing, swallowing and speaking alterations present in patients with allergic rhinitis and associate it to rhinitis symptom intensity. Materials and Methods: 170 patients between the ages of 6 and 55 years were prospectively evaluated in this study, all of them underwent both otorhinolaryngological and speech evaluation. Data on breathing, chewing, swallowing and speaking was gathered, as well as data from the medical evaluation. The data was compared and statistically analyzed. Results: the difference in signs and symptoms' score between GR and GC was significant. We noticed a significant difference between GR and GC in breathing, chewing and swallowing. We observed a significant association between the score of nasal obstruction and the intensity of breathing and chewing alterations. Conclusion: patients with allergic rhinitis have functional alterations in their stomatognathic system and an increase in nasal obstruction scores can be considered as a indication of such alterations.

Evaluation of the palate dimensions of patients with perennial allergic rhinitis

Abstract: The transverse dimension of the palate did not vary significantly between the groups, which seems to confirm that the main influence of alteration of the breathing pattern from nasal to mouth occurs on the vertical plane.
