“…Abreu et al 5 , em crianças com SRO, encontraram 79,2% de hipertrofia de adenoides e 12,6% de hipertrofia de amíg-dalas. Tais resultados mostram semelhança aos valores encontrados na nossa população em relação à alta incidência de alterações das amígdalas e adenoides 5 .…”

Objective: To investigate associations between mouth breathing (MBr), nose breathing (NBr) and body posture classification and clinical variables in children and adolescents, by comparing patients with mouth breathing syndrome with a control group of similar age. Methods:This was an observational, analytical, controlled, crosssectional study conducted at a university hospital. Children aged 5 years or more were recruited to one of two groups: healthy controls (NBr) or an MBr group. The MBr group comprised patients with a diagnosis of mouth breathing syndrome confirmed by clinical examination by a physician plus nasal endoscopy. The control group comprised healthy volunteers of the same age, with NBr confirmed by medical examination. All participants underwent postural assessment. Data were analyzed using the MannWhitney nonparametric test, the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, to a significance level of 0.05%. Results:A total of 306 MBr and 124 NBr were enrolled. Mouth breathers were more likely to be male (p = 0.0002), have more frequent and more severe nasal obstruction and larger tonsils (p = 0.0001) than NBr. Mouth breathers also exhibited higher incidence rates of allergic rhinitis (p = 0.0001), of thoracic respiratory pattern (p = 0.0001), high-arched palate (p = 0.0001) and unfavorable postural classifications (p = 0.0001) with relation to the control group. Postural classification scores were directly proportional to nasal obstruction (p = 0.0001) and male sex (p = 0.0008).Conclusions: Postural problems were significantly more common among children in the group with mouth breathing syndrome, highlighting the need for early interdisciplinary treatment of this syndrome.

ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a associação do tipo respiratório oral (RO) e nasal (RN) e da classificação da postura corporal em variáveis clínicas de crianças e adolescentes com a síndrome do respirador oral, em relação a um grupo-controle de mesma faixa etária.Métodos: Estudo analítico do tipo observacional e transversal, com grupo-controle, realizado em hospital universitário. Foram incluídas crianças maiores de 5 anos, distribuídas em dois grupos: controle saudável (RN) e grupo RO. O grupo RO incluiu pacientes com diagnóstico de síndrome do respirador oral confirmado por exame clínico médico e nasofibroscopia. Participaram do grupo-controle voluntários saudá-veis da mesma faixa etária, cujo tipo RN foi confirmado por avaliação médica. Todos os participantes foram submetidos à avaliação postural. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizados os testes: não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney, qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher, considerando-se nível de significância de 0,05%.

“…The selection of the students in the study group followed the inclusion criteria: aged between 8 and 12; male or female; have three or more signs of mouth breathing in history and three or more characteristics of mouth breathing in the evaluation of the stomatognathic system (15,16) . The control group consisted of 8 to 12 years old students, female or male, lack of oral breathing signs in history and less than three characteristics of mouth breathing in the evaluation of the stomatognathic system.…”

“…Children should stay at least two minutes with water in the oral cavity to consider nasal breathing mode, otherwise it would be considered oral breathing mode. The criteria used in the evaluation of the stomatognathic system were based on some studies, which also selected groups of mouth breathers stipulating a minimum number of clinical manifestations (15,16) . The audiological assessment, composed of inspection of the external auditory canal, pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry and acoustic impedance, was carried out at a hospital.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a postura e o equilíbrio corporal de escolares com e sem respiração oral e, ainda, verificar se existe correlação entre os valores obtidos na avaliação da postura corporal e na análise dos sistemas sensoriais. Método A pesquisa foi realizada com escolares de 8 a 12 anos. A amostra foi subdividida em grupo estudo (escolares com respiração oral) e grupo controle (escolares sem respiração oral). A divisão dos grupos foi determinada com base em critérios pré-estabelecidos pesquisados na anamnese, avaliação auditiva e avaliação do sistema estomatognático. Os escolares selecionados, de ambos os grupos, foram submetidos à avaliação postural por meio do Software de Análise Postural (SAPO) na vista lateral direita e na vista lateral esquerda e Posturografia Dinâmica (Foam-laser Dynamic Posturography). Resultados Na avaliação da postura, foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante apenas no ângulo do joelho na vista lateral esquerda. No que se refere à Posturografia Dinâmica, foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante nos valores obtidos nos seis testes de organização sensorial (TOS). Foi observada correlação média entre a postura da cabeça em vista lateral esquerda e os sistemas sensoriais. Conclusão Os escolares com respiração oral apresentam alterações posturais quando comparados aos escolares sem respiração oral, principalmente, no posicionamento do joelho. O equilíbrio corporal no grupo de escolares com respiração oral mostrou estar mais prejudicado quando comparado ao grupo de escolares sem respiração oral. Existe correlação entre posicionamento cefálico e os diferentes sistemas sensoriais.

Objectives The purpose was to conduct a comprehensive study of malocclusions and oral dysfunctions on 11‐year‐old children and to study the risk factors associated with malocclusions. Material and Methods A cross‐sectional descriptive epidemiological survey was conducted among 359 children in France. A clinical examination was conducted, and orthodontic and oral functional data were collected. In addition, the need for orthodontic treatment was evaluated using the criteria defined by of the French National Authority for Health (HAS). Finally, a univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to assess the risks associated with malocclusions. Results Most children (88%) exhibited a malocclusion, regardless of gender ( p = .912). The examination of oral functions identified a large number of swallowing (87%) and respiration (42.7%) disorders. The presence of malocclusion was statistically linked to the low position of the tongue at rest ( p < .001), abnormal swallowing ( p = .03), and improper mouth breathing ( p = .001). After a multivariate analysis, the type of respiration (odds ratio [OR] = 3.2 [1.4–7.3]) and the position of tongue at rest (OR = 3.43 [1.7–7.1]) were the two most prominent factors in the prediction of emerging malocclusion. Conclusion This epidemiological survey reveals a high prevalence of dental malocclusions and functional disorders. Oral respiration and the low position of the tongue at rest are the most important factors in the prediction of a malocclusion.
