Perfil orofacial de crianças respiradoras orais pré adenoidectomia e/ou amidalectomia

Abstract

ResumoAs obstruções das vias aéreas superiores, como tonsilas hipertrofiadas, são causas da respiração oral. Objetivo: traçar o perfil miofuncional orofacial de crianças respiradoras orais pré-adenoidectomia e/ou amidalectomia. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de caráter quantitativo de levantamento de dados. As avaliações de motricidade orofacial basearam-se no protocolo MBGR. Resultados: foram avaliadas 32 crianças, com média de idade de 8,9 anos. Destas, 34,4% eram do sexo feminino e 65,6%, do sexo masculino; prevaleceram o aleitamento natural e o hábito oral. As principais queixas foram de respiração oral e ronco. A maioria foi encaminhada para a realização de adenoamigdalectomia. A postura corporal

Surface electromyography in orofacial and cervical musculature in mouth breathing children: an integrative literature review

“…Therefore, two studies among the results of this integrative review evaluated not only the orbicularis oris muscles, but also the temporal and masseter muscles 15,18 in mouth breathers comparing them to the group of mouth breathers. It is believed that the interest of these scholars towards these masticatory muscles in this specific population is due to the fact that the discussions are restricted to chewing development in mouth breathers, and the evaluation is based only on clinical aspects, with the need for a quantitative aspect, through a device to assist in the assessment, diagnosis and a more effective intervention 13 .…”

“…The literature also describes the main signs and symptoms in mouth breathers, such as sleeping with an open mouth, snoring, scratching the nose, difficulty breathing at night or restless sleep, irritability, as well as daytime sleepiness, frequent tiredness, learning issues, learning deficit and behavioral problems 12 . Due to the wide changes found in mouth breathing children, it is important to emphasize the relevance of a multidisciplinary team, composed by otorhinolaryngologist, orthodontist, speech-language pathologist and physiotherapist 13 .…”

Influence of Breathing Modes and Facial Growth Patterns on Electromyographic Fatigue of Masticatory Muscles in Children

“…1 In the case of mouth-breathers (MBs), the discussions mainly approach the clinical characteristics of the craniofacial, stomatognathic, and body adaptations, which even affect the quality of life of individuals. [2][3][4] Changes in the breathing mode are known to lead to various changes in the harmony and growth of the craniofacial structures, which result from compensations to make airflow easier. These changes include mandible posture and occlusal changes and influences on the facial growth pattern.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9] Some studies have shown that MBs typically have an elongated face, 5 while others have found mesofacial 10,11 and brachyfacial growth patterns 12 as a characteristic of this population. All these imbalances may potentialize speech, 13 swallowing, 2,9 and mastication changes. 9,14,15 Regarding mastication, specifically, mouth breathing may impair its efficiency.…”
