Resumo
MORGADO, Filipa et al. Pediatric bruxism - implication of tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy in its etiology and resolution. Rev Port ORL [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.1, pp.17-22. Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 2184-6499. https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.1052.
Objective:
To identify the incidence of bruxism in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSRD) and to evaluate the impact of adenotonsillectomy on the resolution of bruxism.
Study Design:
Retrospective observational study of 54 children with OSRD who underwent adenotonsillectomy.
Materials and Methods:
Questionnaire applied to caregivers of children aged 2-12 years, who underwent adenotonsillectomy for OSRD between January and November 2021, at Hospital Beatriz Ângelo.
Results:
54 children were evaluated and it was found that 40,7% of the children had bruxism, with only 9.3% after surgery.
Conclusion:
According to our study, as it has been already described in the literature, there is a relationship between adenotonsillectomy and bruxism, with improvement or resolution in 77% of children that presented bruxism before surgery.
Palavras-chave : Bruxism; adenoid hypertrophy; adenotonsillectomy; obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSRD).
