The effect of rapid palatal expansion on sleep bruxism in children

Sleep & Breathing = Schlaf & Atmung
Audrey BelleriveN Huynh

Abstract

Sleep bruxism (SB) is a movement described as an involuntary mastication movement during sleep, also defined as rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA). It is observed in 2-40 % of the pediatric population. A link was suggested between respiratory events and RMMA. Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is an effective orthopedic treatment for correcting maxillary transverse deficiency and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. The aim was to evaluate the possible reduction of SB after rapid palatal expansion (RPE) therapy. A total of 32 patients (8-14 years old; 22 girls and 10 boys) received an orthodontic treatment for transverse maxillary deficiency (5 mm or more) at the orthodontics department of the Université de Montréal. They underwent an ambulatory polysomnography (PSG) before, after expansion with the expander, and at the end of the study without the expander. They were classified into three subgroups based on sleep electromyography (EMG) data. Total sleep time and stage NREM 3 presented significant differences between the types of appliances. Moreover, there was a time effect observed for total sleep time, sleep cycles, stage NREM 2, and stage REM, while only a trend suggested for stage NREM 3. Significant differenc...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
