A study on adenoid growth of children with normal occlusion


Abstract
Impaired breathing is known to represent a significant contributing to the etiology of dentofacial deformities during childhood growth.
Adenoids have long been regarded as one of the chief causes of mouth breathing.
The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the size of adenoid during childhood growth and present a system which will quantify and qualify the status of pediatric patients being considered for adenoidectomy.
The author analyzed 9 items in cephalometric roentgenograms of 70 boys and 70 girls taken from the age of 7 to 13.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. The mean and standard deviation for the measured items were obtined.
2. The continual growth of nasopharyngeal cavity was more affected by the height than the depth.
3. The size of adenoid was larger in males than in females, especially on R. D-Ad2
4. Adenoid percentage was the highest at age 10 in boys and at age 9 in girls.
5. The items showed significant difference between males and females were adenoid percentage, Air (P<0.01).
The results suggest that the mean & standard deviation for the measured items could be used to diagnosis malocclusion caused by mouth breathing.
