ABSTRACT
Introduction: Mouth breathing is a mode of breathing that replaces normal breathing through the nose, which is usually caused by an obstruction of the respiratory tract. The habit of breathing through the mouth can cause changes in maxillofacial morphology.
Methods: Article searches were done on PubMed, EBSCO Essentials, and Google Scholar electronic databases. Inclusion criteria included study subjects aged 3-18 years old who had a habit of breathing through their mouths due to adenoid hypertrophy. Articles that were reviewed were published from 2017 to October 2022.
Results: With a total of 1107 articles, 2 articles were identified through PubMed, 663 articles were identified through EBSCO Essentials, 424 articles were identified through Google Scholar, and 18 articles were identified through handsearching. After the selection process using the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram, 13 articles were taken for review. extract gel in experimental animals.
Conclusion: Children and adolescents with adenoid hypertrophy experience several changes in the maxillofacial structure due to the habit of mouth breathing. Children and adolescents with adenoid hypertrophy experience several changes in the maxillofacial structure due to the habit of mouth breathing.
