However, the evaluation of semi-isolated indigenous populations with preserved traditional habits offers a unique opportunity to investigate the true origins of occlusal and craniofacial variation. Over more than a decade, we have evaluated five Amazon indigenous groups from the Middle Valley of the Xingu River, characterized by exclusive breastfeeding, absence of pacifier use, uniform patterns of occlusal tooth wear, and well-documented genetic profiles indicating low intratribal and high intertribal variation. The prevalence of malocclusion ranged from 33.8 % to 66.7 %, overall lower than that observed in urban Amazon populations, around 85 %. The lower prevalence of posterior crossbite may be related to prolonged breastfeeding and an absence of pacifiers in the indigenous groups. Despite cultural and environmental homogeneity, a high degree of intertribal diversity was found in occlusal features, facial morphology, dental arch dimensions, and dental crowding, while a small intragroup variation was observed. In a 13-year follow-up, dental crowding and tooth wear increased, while the arch dimensions tended to decrease, suggesting that the effect of increased tooth wear on the etiology of tertiary crowding is of small magnitude and restricted to the lower dental arch. These findings suggest that genetic factors play a central role in determining the dentofacial characteristics, challenging the theory that diet consistency could be the principal cause of modern malocclusion. The evidence from these indigenous populations supports the view that occlusal and craniofacial morphology are primarily influenced by polygenic inheritance, with environmental factors contributing selectively to specific dentoalveolar traits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48688,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Orthodontics","volume":"31 4","pages":"Pages 584-591"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144842381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review explores the impact of adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy on pediatric craniofacial development, general growth, and immune function. Enlarged adenoids and tonsils are strongly associated with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing, which can lead to impaired physical growth, cognitive development, and craniofacial abnormalities such as malocclusion and altered mandibular growth. Adeno-tonsillectomy is the primary treatment for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (PedOSA), with proven benefits in quality of life, respiratory function, and growth. However, residual PedOSA persists in many cases, necessitating long-term follow-up and adjunct therapies. Recent advances in surgical techniques have improved outcomes by reducing postoperative complications. Emerging studies challenge traditional models of lymphoid tissue growth, revealing age-, sex-, and region-specific variations that emphasize the need for personalized treatment strategies. Future research should focus on genetic and environmental factors influencing lymphoid tissue growth, optimizing intervention timing, and evaluating long-term outcomes to enhance pediatric care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48688,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Orthodontics","volume":"31 4","pages":"Pages 504-508"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144842498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
