| Popis: | The functional and anatomical characteristics of Down's syndrome have direct repercussions on oral health; orofacial dysfunction results and feeding and swallowing are impaired. These problems have been described in an earlier article. Different techniques are proposed for the prevention of the development of orofacial dysfunction in Down's syndrome. In particular, early myofunctional therapy coupled with appliance wear has been shown to be successful over the long term when multidisciplinary management is possible. Functional or conventional orthodontic treatment may be successful for older children when performed concurrently with the use of appropriate behaviour management techniques. More recently, techniques for the compensation of masticatory dysfunction in adults have been proposed, although further research is necessary to confirm their efficacy. The aim of this second article was to review techniques for the prevention, treatment and compensation of orofacial dysfunction in persons with Down's syndrome from birth to adulthood. |
