“…( ponta e ápice da língua), hipotetiza-se que a medida pode ser insuficiente para avaliar adequadamente a mobilidade dos dois terços posteriores (ou corpo) do a língua (GOVARDHAN, et al, 2019). Uma modificação comumente usada é avaliar a língua amplitude de movimento enquanto a língua é mantida em sucção contra o teto da boca na aspiração lingual-palatina (LPS).…”

Introdução: A anquiloglossia é uma condição que pode gerar vários problemas para pacientes adultos, como dificuldade na comunicação, respiração e mastigação, o que leva a impactos negativos na qualidade de vida desses pacientes. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo é relatar três casos de cirurgia de frenectomia lingual em pacientes adultos onde estes pacientes procuraram atendimento na clínica odontológica do Centro Universitário - FAMETRO queixando-se de dificuldade de fala. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa experimental e exploratória Resultados: Assim, após avaliação clínica intraoral e extraoral, foram realizados os procedimentos cirúrgicos e de preservação do caso. Os pacientes tiveram o acompanhamento do fonoaudiólogo no pré, trans e pós-operatório. Resultados e discussões: Dessa maneira, os relatos de experiência sobre os procedimentos realizados na cirurgia destes pacientes, além das condutas necessárias no pós-operatório como a prescrição de medicações, acompanhamento da cicatrização do frênulo da língua com o trabalho concomitante ao do profissional fonoaudiólogo serão abordados nesse trabalho. Os resultados apresentados durante este trabalho, demonstraram que a cirurgia de anquiloglossia resulta em uma melhora significativa para o posicionamento do corpo da língua com o palato para estabelecer a postura oral de repouso ideal, da mecânica da deglutição e da fonética do paciente. Conclusão: Portanto o tratamento multidisciplinar é importante para melhor reabilitação do paciente melhorando a qualidade de vida.

“…The sample consisted of 799 patients, where 43% were female. The study by Zaghi et al [23] had the highest number of participants (n = 348), and the studies by Govardhan et al [20], Ferrés-Amat et al [8] and Khan et al [21] achieved the lowest sample size (n = 1). The mean age of the participants ranged from 17 days [8] to 79 years [23].…”

Ankyloglossia is a pathology of the tongue in which the frenulum appears anchored to the floor of the mouth. The treatment of choice for this pathology is frenectomy, but myofunctional therapy is emerging in recent years as a complement to surgical intervention. This systematic review aims to synthesize the scientific evidence and assess its quality regarding the use of myofunctional therapy in ankyloglossia. The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Pubmed, Web of Science and Scopus were searched. Study quality was determined using the PEDro scale, STROBE statement and single-case experimental design scale. Eleven studies were selected. Based on the studies included in this review, surgery is more effective than myofunctional therapy, although better results are achieved if both are combined. Improvements have been found in maternal pain, weight gain of babies, duration of breastfeeding, tongue mobility, strength and endurance, sleep apnea, mouth breathing and snoring, quality of life, clenching teeth, myofascial tension, pain after surgery and speech sound production. These findings must be taken with caution because of the small number of articles and their quality. Future clinical trials using larger sample sizes and with higher methodological quality are needed.

“…Masticatory hypotonic disorder is closely related to the severity of OSAHS and continuous snoring [ 8 ]. The relationship between sleep problems and craniofacial features is controversial [ 9 ], with most studies suggesting that breathing patterns affect the function and morphology of craniofacial muscles [ 10 , 11 ] and negatively affect the efficiency and how quickly the upper airway collapses while you sleep [ 12 ]. When the natural balance of the perioral muscles is disturbed, the teeth and jaws gradually adapt to the abnormal balance, resulting in abnormal oral movements and growth [ 13 , 14 ].…”

The Effects of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy on Children with OSAHS’s Craniomaxillofacial Growth: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) is one of the therapeutic methods for neuromuscular re-education and has been considered as one of the auxiliary methods for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and orthodontic treatment. There is a dearth of comprehensive analysis of OMT’s effects on muscle morphology and function. This systematic review examines the literature on the craniomaxillofacial effects of OMT in children with OSAHS. This systematic analysis was carried out using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) standards, and the research was scanned using PICO principles. A total of 1776 articles were retrieved within a limited time, with 146 papers accepted for full-text perusing following preliminary inspection and 9 of those ultimately included in the qualitative analysis. Three studies were rated as having a severe bias risk, and five studies were rated as having a moderate bias risk. Improvement in craniofacial function or morphology was observed in most of the 693 children. OMT can improve the function or morphology of the craniofacial surface of children with OSAHS, and its effect becomes more significant as the duration of the intervention increases and compliance improves. In the majority of the 693 infants, improvements in craniofacial function or morphology were seen. The function or morphology of a kid’s craniofacial surface can be improved with OMT, and as the duration of the intervention lengthens and compliance rises, the impact becomes more pronounced.
