舌头在口腔功能中起着重要作用。有张口呼吸行为的儿童通常会发现舌头力量减弱。本研究的目的是测量有口呼吸行为的儿童的舌头压力，将这些值与有鼻呼吸行为的儿童的舌头压力进行比较，并分析有口呼吸模式和鼻呼吸模式的儿童的年龄和舌头压力之间的关系。在这项横断面分析观察研究中，我们招募了 40 名 5-12 岁的儿童，他们要么表现出口呼吸行为 (n=20)，要么表现出鼻呼吸行为（性别和年龄匹配 [+/- 2 岁] 对照；n=20）。使用爱荷华口腔性能仪器评估舌压；每个参与者记录 3 次测量，中间休息 30 秒。口呼吸组的平均舌压低于鼻呼吸组。性别之间的舌头压力没有差异。在鼻呼吸组中，舌头压力与年龄之间存在强烈且直接的相关性。呼吸模式影响舌压的发展。
The tongue plays an important role in oral functions. Reduced tongue strength is often noted among children with mouth-breathing behaviour. The purposes of this study were to measure the tongue pressure in children with mouth-breathing behaviour, to compare these values to those of children with nasal-breathing behaviour and to analyse the relationship between age and tongue pressure in children with a mouth-breathing pattern and in children with a nasal-breathing pattern. In this cross-sectional analytical observational study, we enroled 40 children aged 5-12years who either exhibited mouth-breathing behaviour (n=20) or nasal-breathing behaviour (gender- and age-matched [+/- 2years] controls; n=20). Tongue pressure was evaluated using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument; 3 measurements were recorded for each participant, with a 30-seconds rest interval. The average tongue pressure in the mouth-breathing group was lower than that in the nasal-breathing group. There was no difference in tongue pressure between genders. There was a strong and direct correlation between tongue pressure and age in the nasal-breathing group. The breathing pattern impacts tongue pressure development.
