Purpose: To verify the relationship between sensory processing and changes in the functions of the stomatognathic system in mouth breathing children, characterizing their sensory processing and comparing it with that of nasal breathing children.
Methods: 50 children (5 to 12 years) who were diagnosed with mouth breathing and 50 without signs and symptoms of mouth breathing or allergic rhinitis were selected to be part of the control group, matched for age and sex. Oral and nasal breathing children underwent sensory processing evaluation, through the Sensory Processing Measure - home form, and mouth breathers, through the evaluation of orofacial motricity through the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with score.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how nasal cleansing affects the nasal cavity geometry and airflow in children who breathe through their mouths.
- Twenty children aged 4 to 12 participated, undergoing various assessments before and after nasal massage and saline cleansing to observe changes in airflow and nasal geometry.
- Results indicated significant improvements in nasal airflow post-cleansing, while changes in nasal geometry were slight, suggesting that cleansing and massage positively influence respiratory function.
Purpose: To systematically review the methods for evaluation of smell in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage victims and to identify the changes found with the use of these methods.
Research Strategy: The literature search was performed in PubMed search platform and in the databases Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and ScienceDirect in August and September 2014.
Selection Criteria: Original articles published in any language, which addressed smell changes in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and addressed to evaluate this function through specific methods were included.
Introduction: Allergic rhinitis can cause changes in stomatognathic functions, which may alter the mandibular dynamics. Electrognathography is used in the recording of jaw movements, making it valid for analysis of movements in speech.
Purpose: To characterize the amplitude and velocity of jaw movements during speech in children with and without allergic rhinitis.
