摘要
鼻腔呼吸可保护上呼吸道,对颅面的充分发育起着重要作用。目的:本研究旨在通过头颅测量分析,验证口呼吸对颅面结构的影响:本研究的对象为 68 名患者(34 名口呼吸组或研究组,34 名鼻呼吸组或对照组),年龄在 6-14 岁之间。研究对象根据纳入和排除标准进行筛选。对鼻腔功能进行临床评估,挑选出口呼吸患者,并转诊至耳鼻喉科进行检查。为研究对象(包括鼻呼吸者和口呼吸者)拍摄侧面头颅照片,在照片上标记选定的地标,以评估线性、骨骼和牙齿角度变量,并与正常儿童的头颅测量变量进行比较:结果:口呼吸者的面部高度(N-Me、ANS-Me)和下颌平面角度(SN-GoGn)的平均值明显更高。6-14岁鼻呼吸组的颌面角度(Ar-GoMe)明显较低:结论:该研究得出的结论是,所有有口呼吸史的受试者的面部高度、盂角和下颌平面角都有所增加:临床意义:评估有口呼吸习惯的患者的牙骨骼变化有助于发现早期识别和早期干预的重要性,从而确保为生理发育和牙颌面美学提供适当的功能环境:Chowdhary K, Yadav G, Rai A, et al. 口呼吸习惯及其对 6-14 岁儿童牙面生长的影响:头颅测量研究》。Int J Clin Pediatr Dent 2024;17(5):545-551.
Mouth Breathing Habit and Their Effects on Dentofacial Growth in Children in the Age Range of 6-14 Years: A Cephalometric Study.
Nasal breathing protects the upper airway and is responsible for adequate craniofacial development. It is believed that long-standing obstruction causes mouth breathing, which has a negative impact on the craniofacial complex.
Aim: The study aimed to verify the effects of mouth breathing on the dentofacial structure by employing cephalometric analysis.
Materials and methods: The present study was conducted on 68 patients (34 mouth-breathing group or study group and 34 nasal-breathing group or control group) aged 6-14 years. Study subjects were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical assessment of nasal function was done to select the mouth breathing patients and referred for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) clearance. Lateral cephalograms were taken for the study subjects, including both nasal and mouth breathers, over which selected landmarks were marked to evaluate linear, skeletal, and dental angular variables for comparison with cephalometric variables of a normal child.
Results: The mean values of facial height (N-Me, ANS-Me) and mandibular plane angle (SN-GoGn) were significantly higher for mouth breathers. The gonial angle (Ar-GoMe) for ages 6-14 years was significantly lower in the nasal breathing group.
Conclusion: The study led to the conclusion that all subjects with a history of mouth breathing showed an increase in facial height, gonial angle, and mandibular plane angle.
Clinical significance: Evaluating dentoskeletal changes in a patient with a mouth-breathing habit helps discern the importance of early identification and interception at an early age, thereby ensuring a functional environment adequate for physiological growth and dentofacial esthetics.
