Abstract
OZET Bu calisma, cocuklarda agizdan solunumun agiz dis sagligina ve cevre dokulara etkilerinin degerlendirilmesi amaci ile gerceklestirildi. Agizdan ve burundan solunum yapan 5-12 yaslari arasinda toplam 100 cocuk, df, df-s, DMF, DMF-S, kanama, plak indeksleri, marginal gingivitis, yuz sekli, burun, dudak, dil ve cene duruslari yani sira genel durum, uyku bozukluklari, aliskanliklar, davranis bozukluklari acisindan incelendi. Agizdan veya normal solunum yapan cocuklarda df, df-s, DMF, DMF-S degerleri arasinda anlamli farkliliklar (p>0.05) saptanmadi. Agizdan solunum yapan cocuklarin on grup sut dislerinde curuk gorulme sikliginin anlamli olarak daha fazla (p 0.05) were determined between df, df-s, DMF, DMF-S values in mouth and nose breathing children. Significantly (p<0.05) higher caries prevalence in anterior primary teeth was found in mouth breathing children; bleeding and plaque index values were determined higher (p<0.01) in nose breathers than mouth breathers. Significant differences were determined for facial form (p<0.001), nose form (p<0.01), lip posture (p<0.001), chin position (p<0.001), gummy smile (p<0.001) between children with mouth and nose breathing. In addition, in mouth breathing children snoring, sleep apnea syndrome, open mouth posture frequencies were found higher than control groups; however no significancy in behavioural disorders was observed between two groups. Data have demonstrated that mouth breathing could cause significant differences in children's face, nose, lip and chin morphologies; furthermore, it has been determined that other parameters regarding oral hygiene besides mouth breathing have also important roles on health of teeth and gingiva. Key Words: mouth breathing, health of tooth and gingiva
