Summary
Mouth breathing in children often leads to sensory system changes, particularly affecting sensory reception. However, current evaluations lack standardization, impacting result precision.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Otorhinolaryngology
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Mouth breathing is a condition that can affect children's development.
- Sensory system alterations are frequently associated with mouth breathing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the literature on sensory system changes in individuals who breathe through their mouths.
- To identify the impact of mouth breathing on various sensory modalities.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, BIREME, LILACS, Web of Science, and Scopus.
- Original articles focusing on mouth breathing and sensory system changes were selected.
- Articles were reviewed independently by two researchers following predefined criteria.
Main Results:
- The review identified a significant association between mouth breathing and sensory system alterations in children.
- Sensory reception appeared to be a primary area of concern.
- A limited number of studies (3) met the inclusion criteria after a rigorous screening process.
Conclusions:
- Mouth breathing is linked to sensory system changes in children.
- Sensory reception requires further investigation in this population.
- The lack of standardized sensory system evaluation methods hinders precise results.

01:17Systematic Sampling Method
13.3K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
1.2K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

01:31What is a Sensory System?
101.2K
Sensory systems detect stimuli—such as light and sound waves—and transduce them into neural signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. In addition to external stimuli detected by the senses, some sensory systems detect internal stimuli—such as the proprioceptors in muscles and tendons that send feedback about limb position.

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

01:20Random and Systematic Errors
15.1K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...
