Systemic sclerosis is a rare autoimmune rheumatic connective tissue disease, progressive of unknown etiology and variable evolution. Reaches vital organs and perioral tissues, causing limitation of mouth opening, stiffness of the articulators, face mask with appearance, difficulty in chewing and swallowing. Aiming to compare the pre and post intervention miofuncional speech orofacial in subjects with systemic sclerosis was performed qualiquantitativo exploratory clinical study in Rheumatology department of the University Hospital and Clinic, School of Speech Pathology, Federal University of Sergipe, from July / 2012 to December / 2013. The sample consisted of five individuals, of both genders, aged between 24 and 60 years and confirmed medical diagnosis of that condition. The subjects underwent evaluation by MBGR protocol and speech therapy (myofunctional and myoterapica), totaling 36 sessions. At the end, the initial and final results were compared from clinical indicators worked. After analyzing the results, improvements in all aspects worked were observed. The previous assessment of speech therapy revealed restriction of mouth opening in all subjects and the final results showed gains between 5.3 and 14.2mm opening (average: 9.26). Regarding tone, mobility of the articulators and orofacial numbness observed improvements and evidence of adequacy of oral functions. Can be concluded that although some patients still show changes in speech rehabilitation promoted significant improvements in clinical and quality of life of these individuals.

Atinge órgãos nobres e tecidos periorais, causando limitação na abertura da boca, hipertonia dos órgãos fonoarticulatórios, face com "aparência de máscara", dificuldades na mastigação e deglutição. Com o objetivo de comparar os resultados pré e pós-intervenção fonoaudiológica miofuncional orofacial em sujeitos com esclerose sistêmica, realizou--se estudo clínico exploratório qualiquantitativo no setor de Reumatologia do Hospital Universitário e na Clínica escola de Fonoaudiologia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, no período de julho/2012 a dezembro/2013. A amostra foi composta por cinco indivíduos, de ambos os gêneros, com faixa etária entre 24 e 60 anos e diagnóstico médico confirmado da referida afecção. Os indivíduos passaram por avaliação por meio do protocolo MBGR e 36 sessões de terapia fonoaudiológica (miofuncional e mioterápica). Ao término, os resultados iniciais e finais foram comparados a partir dos indicadores clínicos trabalhados. Diante da análise dos resultados obtidos, foram observadas melhoras em todos os aspectos trabalhados. A avaliação anterior à fonoterapia revelou restrição na abertura da boca em todos os indivíduos e os resultados finais apresentaram ganhos entre 5.3 e 14.2 mm de abertura (média: ...
