| Title: | Tongue pressure measurement in children with mouth-breathing behaviour |
| Authors: | Nayara Duviges de Azevedo Josiane Célia de Lima Renata Maria Moreira Moraes Furlan Andréa Rodrigues Motta |
| Abstract: | The tongue plays an important role in oral functions. Reduced tongue strength is often noted among children with mouth- breathing behaviour. The purposes of this study were to measure the tongue pressure in children with mouth- breathing behav iour, to compare these values to those of children with nasal- breathing behaviour and to analyse the relationship between age and tongue pressure in children with a mouth- breathing pattern and in children with a nasal- breathing pattern. In this cross sectional analytical observational study, we enroled 40 children aged 5- 12 years who either exhibited mouth- breathing behaviour (n = 20) or nasal- breathing behaviour (gender- and age- matched [±2 years] controls; n = 20). Tongue pressure was evaluated using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument; 3 measurements were recorded for each participant, with a 30- seconds rest interval. The average tongue pressure in the mouth breathing group was lower than that in the nasal- breathing group. There was no difference in tongue pressure between genders. There was a strong and direct correlation between tongue pressure and age in the nasal- breathing group. The breathing pattern impacts tongue pressure development. |
