The temporary disruption of respiratory function during sleep generally causes losses in its capacity. Mouth breathing and snoring are characteristics present in various sleep disorders. Learn about specific aspects of breathing and snoring can help speechlanguage intervention. Objective: characterize and compare aspects related to snoring in a group of mouth breathing children and adolescents. Method: were selected 130 children and adolescents from the database of an institution, in Sao Paulo, reference in the field. This sample had children and adolescent males and females. The age range of 5 to 14 years was divided into two groups: group 1 (5 years to 9 years and 5 months) and group 2 (9 years and 6 months to 14 years). The sample was divided into two groups mouth breathers who snore (MBS) and mouth breathers who do not snore (MB). The database contained information of clinical history and exam MBGR protocol. Were selected aspects related to snoring as: tonsils, hard palate, soft palate, uvula, velum and tongue posture, tone and mobility. For statistical analysis responses of the protocol were reorganized and renamed. Results: MBS group (64.6%) was higher compared to the MB group (35.4%) with statistically significant difference. In males 53.6% of subjects belonged to the MBS group and 69,6% to the MB; in females 46,4% to the MBS and 30,4% to the MB. In age group 1 was found 70.2% of the MBS and 58.7% of the MB; in group 2, 29.8% MBS and 41,3% MB. There was no statistically significant difference in: hard palate, uvula, velum and tongue posture, tone and mobility. However, MBS group showed change in greater number in comparison MB. Other features that were statistically significant were: tonsils altered in males and group 2 and soft palate for males. Conclusion: in the group studied snoring was a feature present in most mouth breathers children and adolescents. The characteristics that most differed between the group of mouth breathers snore and not snore were tonsils for males and aged 9 years and 6 months to 14 years and the soft palate for males |
