简要总结
Based on the results of the current study, we conclude that Mouth breathing (MB) is associated with poor OHRQoL in 6 to 13year old children.
The following objective specific conclusions can be drawn from the study:
1. Prevalence of MB was 47.89% in the study population.
2. The COHIP domain scores and total score showed moderate variability among participants, indicating differences in oral health-related quality of life within the study population.
3. Nasal breathing is associated with better oral health-related quality of life, whereas mouth breathing is associated with a negative impact on OHHRQoL.
4. Prevalence of abnormal tonsillar size was 50.23% in six- to thirteen-year-old children.
5. Children with nasal breathing showed slightly greater maxillary inter-canine width, the difference was not statistically significant in the study population.
6. There was no significant difference in mandibular inter-canine width between nasal and mouth breathing children in the study population.
7. Children with nasal breathing had significantly greater maxillary inter-molar width compared to mouth breathing in the study population.
8. There was no statistically significant difference in mandibular inter-molar width between nasal and mouth breathing children in the study population.
9. Children with a mouth-breathing were significantly more likely to present with a Class II molar relationship compared to nasal breathing children in the study population.
10. Mouth breathing is associated with an increased prevalence of crossbite.
11. Mouth breathing may have a stronger relationship with transverse discrepancies than with vertical malocclusions in the present study population.
12. Decrease in OHRQoL with increasing overjet in the present study population.
13. Increase in overbite was associated with higher COHIP total scores in the study population.
14. Overall, the findings indicate that occlusal parameters (overjet and overbite), breathing pattern, and tonsil visibility were significantly associated with COHIP total scores, whereas age and sex did not have a statistically significant relationship.
