Disorders in the orofacial complex as well as muscle hypotension in children with Down syndrome can be corrected through orofacial therapy that makes use of a palatal plate.
The aim of this paper was to present how parents of children with DS assess the availability of treatment and the therapeutic effects of orthodontic palatal plate therapy on the tongue position and mimetic muscle tension in their children; and to determine whether implementing full Castillo-Morales therapy and using only a palatal plate lead to substantially different results.
The study was conducted on 100 children with DS between the ages of two months and two years (44 boys, 56 girls) who were treated by means of stimulating plate therapy. The study analyzed responses obtained from the parents to questions included in a questionnaire completed at every visit over a period of two years.
The study found that in 50 patients with DS who underwent palatal plate rehabilitation there was a visible improvement of the mimetic muscles, tongue retraction and lip closure.
Early orthodontic palatal plate therapy ought to be an integral part of the multidisciplinary rehabilitation of patients with DS.
唐氏综合征患儿口面部复合体紊乱以及肌张力减退可通过使用腭板的口面部治疗得以纠正。
本文旨在介绍唐氏综合征患儿的家长如何评估治疗的可及性,以及正畸腭板治疗对其子女舌位置和表情肌张力的治疗效果;并确定实施完整的卡斯蒂略 - 莫拉莱斯疗法与仅使用腭板是否会导致显著不同的结果。
对100名年龄在两个月至两岁之间的唐氏综合征患儿(44名男孩,56名女孩)进行了研究,这些患儿接受了刺激板治疗。该研究分析了在两年时间里每次就诊时家长对问卷中问题的回答。
研究发现,在50名接受腭板康复治疗的唐氏综合征患者中,表情肌、舌回缩和唇部闭合有明显改善。
早期正畸腭板治疗应成为唐氏综合征患者多学科康复的一个组成部分。
