“…8 Lima et al, 9 stated that children with mouth breathing pattern showed alterations on postural and morphological features of the stomatognathic system, such as long face, narrow maxilla, skeletal Class II or Class III profiles, open bite, crossbite, shortened upper lip, everted lower lip and forward head posture. 10 Research indicates that mouth breathing impacts a considerable portion of children, with figures varying from 25% to 57%. Because of this high prevalence, it is essential to receive an early diagnosis and be referred to a specialist to stop the development of orofacial deviations and any potential consequences.…”

The labor process is a crucial phase in a pregnant woman's life. However, it is often perceived as a frightening experience due to routine procedures carried out without her consent and the potential for traumatic experiences that can have long-lasting effects. Nursing, particularly midwifery, is responsible for providing support and care that upholds the dignity of women. This integrative literature review aims to identify and analyze the reasons health professionals identify for the practice of episiotomy in ectopic births and the situations in which it would be appropriate to perform it. The results of this review may help identify gaps in practice and guide the improvement of the quality of obstetric care. Eight articles were selected for analysis after a detailed review of 200. The review revealed that health professionals perform episiotomies for various reasons related to the fetus, the pregnant/parent, the health professional, and the birth. The most common reasons given by the participants were physical damage and maternal physical characteristics. Results provide a better understanding of practice gaps, enlighten the need to improve knowledge and evidence-based care practices, and encourage health professionals to examine their practices. This study was carried out to determine the knowledge, attitudes and needs of information of preschool teachers toward mouth breathing pattern in children. Methods: Thirty European Portuguese preschool teachers fulfilled a self-report online questionnaire about their knowledge about mouth breathing consequences on preschool children, their attitudes when detecting this condition in class and their necessity of more information regarding this theme. The responses were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Results and discussion: Sixty-seven percent of preschool teachers reported having knowledge about mouth breathing pattern. Forty percent stated that their knowledge about this condition was obtained through a speech-language therapist. Regarding the consequences of mouth breathing pattern, the responses that were more frequent chosen were “open mouth posture”, “articulation disorders” and “snoring”. All participants reported informing the family about the existence of a mouth breathing pattern detected in children. Most preschool teachers considered very important to receive more information about this theme.

Topic covered: During the growth phase, children with mouth breathing develop various morphological and structural changes that can lead to craniofacial alterations and consequently, dental alterations. Objective: This systematic review aimed to assess whether children with mouth breathing have a higher prevalence of occlusion anomalies. The aim was to answer the following question: Is mouth breathing related to changes in occlusion in the oral cavity? Methods: The methodology was carried out through a search in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scielo and B-on databases. The following filters were applied in the research: limit of the last 10 years (2013-2023), “free full text” and language in Portuguese, English and French. Children under the age of 18 with mouth breathing and observational research articles were included. Systematic review articles, meta-analytical articles, case-control studies, review articles, studies in adults and studies in children without mouth breathing were excluded. Results: The preliminary bibliographic survey of electronic databases yielded 112 articles. After removing 10 duplicate articles, 69 articles were excluded after reading the titles and 15 after reading the summary/abstract. 94 articles were eliminated. Of the 18 articles selected for full reading, the eligibility criteria were applied, resulting in a total of 6 articles. Three independent authors extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias and the quality of the studies. After a critical methodological assessment, it was determined that the 6 articles met the necessary requirements to be included in this systematic review. Conclusion: The occlusal anomalies found in the mouth breathing children were: Class II, anterior open bite, posterior cross bite, increased overjet, narrow palate and maxillomandibular discrepancy. Immediate recognition and early treatment of mouth breathing are essential to reduce its harmful long-term consequences. Awareness of this problem and adequate access to specialized care can significantly improve children’s quality of life, promoting harmonious facial growth and ensuring optimal oral health.
