Fourteen patients suffering from primary muscular disease (myopathies), including seven with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, were compared to 11 patients whose neuromuscular disorders were of neuropathic origin. Mesioclusion was observed only in the group with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. Posterior crossbite, anterior open bite, mouth breathing, and large tongue were also more prevalent in the group with myopathies, especially the Duchenne's patients, than they were in the group with neurogenic disorders. The Duchenne's patients exhibited a statistically significant delay in dental emergence, unlike the patients with other myopathies and those with neurogenic disorders. Dentition and occlusion may be more affected in patients with myopathies, especially Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, than they are in patients with neurogenic disorders.
将14例患有原发性肌肉疾病（肌病）的患者，包括7例杜氏肌营养不良患者，与11例神经肌肉疾病源于神经病变的患者进行了比较。仅在杜氏肌营养不良组中观察到中度错牙合。后牙反牙合、前牙开牙合、口呼吸和巨舌在肌病组，尤其是杜氏患者中也比神经源性疾病组更为普遍。与其他肌病患者和神经源性疾病患者不同，杜氏患者在牙齿萌出方面表现出统计学上的显著延迟。与神经源性疾病患者相比，肌病患者，尤其是杜氏肌营养不良患者的牙列和咬合可能受到更大影响。
