Çocuklarda Ağız Solunumunun Kraniyofasiyal Gelişime ve Ağız Sağlığına Etkileri

Ağız solunumu, çocuklarda genel sağlık, kraniyofasiyal gelişim ve ağız diş sağlığı açısından önemli sorunlara neden olabilen bir sağlık sorunudur. Ağız solunumu yapan çocuklarda gelişimsel yetersizlik, uyku kalitesi bozuklukları, atipik yutkunma, konuşma bozuklukları, diş çürükleri, diş eti iltihabı, adenoid yüz şekli ve iskeletsel maloklüzyonlar görülebilmektedir. Olgularda, üst çene darlığı, derin damak kubbesi, posterior kapanış, artmış overjet ve ön açık kapanış gibi maloklüzyonlar oluşabilmektedir. Ağız solunumu görülen çocuklarda etyolojik faktörlerin erken tanısı ve multidisipliner tedavi yaklaşımları ise büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu derlemede, çocuklarda ağız solunumu ile kraniyofasiyal ve oklüzal gelişim, ağız sağlığı arasındaki ilişkilerin vurgulanması; bu konuda yapılmış klinik çalışmaların ve tedavi yaklaşımlarının bildirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Effects of Mouth Breathing on Craniofacial Growth and Oral Health in Children

Mouth breathing in children is a health problem that can cause serious problems in terms of general health, craniofacial development, and oral health. Developmental failures, sleep quality disorders, atypical swallowing, speech disorders, dental caries, gingivitis, adenoid facial shape, and skeletal malocclusions can be seen in mouth breathing children. In these cases, malocclusions such as narrowed maxilla, a deeper palatal vault, posterior cross bite, increased overjet, and anterior open bite can be observed. Early diagnosis of aetiological factors and multidisciplinary treatment approaches are of great importance for children with mouth breathing. This review aimed to emphasize the relationships between mouth breathing and craniofacial/occlusal development and oral health, and to report on the clinical studies and the treatment approaches on this subject.
