| Popis: | I t. is clear that tongue function plays some role in the devc~lopment of the dental arches. The distortions of the arches which accompany microor macroglossia, as well as the less dramatic but clinically significa.nt effects of such oral habits as tongue-thrusting, illustrate the possible effects. Theories of normal and abnormal oral development, particularly those concerning the functional matrix concepts of van der Klaauw and MOSS,~ have emphasized muscle function in recent years. This may reflect a return toward a middle ground after overemphasis on function in the 1920’s and relative neglect in the 1940’s. Several investigators have now presented data concerning lingual, labial, and buccal pressures against the dentition of youn g adults, using electronic pressure-recording techniyues.‘-4 Lear’s” recent work has confirmed the belief of most workers that it is not possible to demonstrate a true balance of cstcrnal forces on stable adult dentitions. In ordrr to study more closely the relationship between lingual function and dental arch development in growing chiltlrcn, mc began a longitudinal study of a group of 5 to 8-year-old children 2 years ago. This article presents the first data concerning linguopalatal pressures in this age group and discusses the implications of these initial findings with regard to dental arch development.. |
