摘要

口腔呼吸（MB）是一种功能失调的呼吸方式，可通过改变上颌弓宽度和上咽气道形态影响颅面发育。早期识别对于预防长期牙面和气道并发症至关重要。本研究旨在利用锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）比较10-12岁口呼吸和鼻呼吸儿童上颌弓宽度和上呼吸道形态。材料和方法在本横断面研究中，30名儿童（15名口腔呼吸者和15名鼻腔呼吸者）接受了CBCT成像。在四个点测量上颌弓横向尺寸：上颌臼齿宽度（MWM）、臼齿间宽度（IMW）、上颌犬齿宽度（MWC）和犬齿间宽度（ICW）。采用容积法（鼻咽部容积[NPV]、口咽部容积[OPV]）和横截面积法（鼻咽部面积[NPA]、口咽部面积[OPA]）评估上呼吸道形态。采用独立t检验比较组间差异，置信水平为95%。结果与鼻呼吸组相比，MB组上颌弓宽度（MWM、IMW、MWC、ICW）明显减小，上呼吸道体积和面积（NPV、OPV、NPA、OPA）明显减小(p <；0.001（所有参数）。结论学龄期儿童口呼吸与上颌弓宽度和上咽气道尺寸明显减小有关。

Transverse maxillary dimensions and upper airway morphology in mouth- and nasal-breathing children aged 10–12 years: A CBCT-based study

Introduction

Mouth breathing (MB) is a dysfunctional respiratory pattern that may affect craniofacial development by altering maxillary arch width and upper pharyngeal airway morphology. Early identification is critical to prevent long-term dentofacial and airway complications. This study aimed to compare maxillary arch width and upper airway morphology between mouth- and nasal-breathing children aged 10–12 years using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Materials and methods

In this cross-sectional study, 30 children (15 mouth breathers and 15 nasal breathers) underwent CBCT imaging. Transverse maxillary arch dimensions were measured at four points: maxillary width at molars (MWM), intermolar width (IMW), maxillary width at canines (MWC), and intercanine width (ICW). Upper airway morphology was assessed using volumetric (nasopharyngeal volume [NPV], oropharyngeal volume [OPV]) and cross-sectional area (nasopharyngeal area [NPA], oropharyngeal area [OPA]) measurements. Independent t-tests were used to compare group differences with 95 % confidence level.

Results

The MB group showed significantly reduced maxillary arch widths (MWM, IMW, MWC, ICW) and diminished upper airway volume and area (NPV, OPV, NPA, OPA) compared to nasal breathers (p < 0.001 for all parameters).

Conclusion

Mouth breathing in school-aged children is associated with measurable reductions in maxillary arch width and upper pharyngeal airway dimensions.

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
