Resumo(s)
A respiração oral é um problema muito presente nas crianças, podendo ocorrer por hábitos
deletérios como por obstrução das vias aéreas. A respiração oral pode provocar alterações no
crescimento orofacial causando uma desarmonia no sistema estomatognático, o diagnóstico
precoce é de vital importância na interceção deste hábito pernicioso. A disfunção deverá ser
estudada como um todo, na sua componente dentária, muscular e postural. Um justo
conhecimento dos sinais e sintomas é de primeira importância para a interceção do problema e
a prevenção das consequências nefastas a longo prazo. O tratamento deverá ser uma abordagem
multidisciplinar, no qual poderão colaborar o Medico Dentista, Otorrino, Terapeuta da fala e
Pediatra na reposição da função respiratória normal.
