Influence of respiratory pattern on craniofacial growth.
The purpose of this paper has been to explore the relationship between upper airway obstruction and craniofacial growth. A review of the literature and of a preliminary study by the author in collaboration with investigators at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh indicate both the spectrum of skeletal and dental configurations which are associated with upper airway obstruction and the signifi...
متن کاملThe relationship between nasal obstruction and craniofacial growth.
The relationship between nasal obstruction and craniofacial growth is unclear. The literature indicates that upper-airway compromise produces chronic mouth breathing, especially in the dolichocephalic (narrow-faced) child. It has been shown that a greater tendency exists toward the skeletal pattern associated with long face syndrome in dolichocephalic head types. Therefore, it becomes difficult...
متن کاملInteraction between otorhinolaryngology and orthodontics: correlation between the nasopharyngeal airway and the craniofacial complex
In terms of pathophysiology, an anatomically narrow airway is a predisposing factor for obstruction of the upper respiratory tract. The correlation between the nasopharyngeal airway and the craniofacial structures is discussed in this context. Thus a mutual interaction between the pharynx and the mandibular position was demonstrated, whereby the transverse dimension of the nasopharynx was signi...
متن کاملTreatment of Paediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnoea with Oral Appliances
E-mail [email protected] Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a disorder of breathing during sleep characterised by prolonged partial airway obstruction and/ or intermittent complete obstruction (obstructive apnoea) that interrupts normal ventilation during sleep and disrupts normal sleep pattern, affecting about 2–3% of children [1, 2]. Although adenotonsillar hypertrophy remai...
متن کاملCraniofacial and upper airway morphology in pediatric sleep-disordered breathing: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
INTRODUCTION Pediatric sleep-disordered breathing is a continuum, with primary snoring at one end, and complete upper airway obstruction, hypoxemia, and obstructive hypoventilation at the other. The latter gives rise to obstructive sleep apnea. An important predisposing factor in the development and progression of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing might be craniofacial disharmony. The purpos...
