Avaliação do biotipo facial em pacientes com respiração oral ou mista

Abstract

Actualmente verifica-se uma elevada incidência de doenças do sistema respiratório nas populações ocidentais que podem comprometer a via aérea nasal, conduzindo a alterações no desenvolvimento da face e do crânio. A análise cefalométrica resumida de Ricketts constitui um meio auxiliar de diagnóstico extremamente útil no estudo de um paciente, tanto na fase de diagnóstico como na realização do plano de tratamento e acompanhamento da evolução de cada caso. Através desta análise pode determinar-se o biotipo facial que ajuda a caracterizar um indivíduo. Particularmente quando se estudam crianças, este parâmetro permite avaliar a tendência de crescimento das estruturas craniofaciais. Este trabalho teve como objectivo a realização de um estudo piloto com o intuito de diagnosticar o biotipo facial de 50 crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e 10 anos e verificar a existência de distúrbios no sistema respiratório responsáveis pelo estabelecimento da respiração mista ou oral, em vez da respiração nasal. Adicionalmente procurou-se diagnosticar a etiologia da obstrução respiratória. Para a concretização deste trabalho realizou-se a história clínica completa de cada indivíduo da amostra, foi aplicado um questionário referente ao parâmetro da respiração, realizou-se a análise cefalométrica resumida de Ricketts para determinação do biotipo facial e, por fim, foi feito um diagnóstico otorrinolaringológico dos pacientes com respiração mista. Foi possível verificar: a existência de uma elevada prevalência de patologias do sistema respiratório na população estudada e a associação entre a respiração mista e o desenvolvimento do biotipo dolicofacial, sendo este resultado estatisticamente significativo

Currently, the high Western’s population incidence of respiratory diseases may compromise the nasal airway, leading to changes in the normal development of both the face and the skull. The Ricketts’ cephalometric analysis is a very useful orthodontic method in diagnosing and outlining a treatment plan as well as following the progress made in each case. Moreover, this method allows the determination of an individual’s characteristic facial biotype. When treating children it estimates the tendency of their craniofacial structures growth. This thesis’s objective was to conduct a pilot study in 50 children, aged 6 to 10 years old, in order to diagnose their facial biotype and to assess the existence of respiratory system disorders responsible for the development of mixed or oral breathing, instead of nasal. Additionally, diagnose of the of airway’s obstruction etiology was attempted. The author completed a full clinical history of the individuals and applied a questionnaire to determine their breathing type. The determination of their facial biotype was accomplished using the Ricketts cephalometric analysis. Finally, the individuals who presented mixed breathing were subjected to a diagnostic evaluation of the E.N.T. (ear-nosethroat). This study found: a high prevalence of respiratory diseases in the population studied and the association between mixed breathing and the development of the dolicofacial biotype. This result was statistically significant.
