The purpose of this lecture is to propose a different approach
to the nature of the breathing sleep disorders. The start of the
nasal breathing sets an impulse genetically determinate to aerate
the face cavities, that in turn at their growth, will contribute to
create a useful trafficable space from the air, during the middle face
development, mainly from the toddler until the onset of adolescence.
Nose function not only has a direct role in upper airway breathing,
but also a long-term impact on the development of the middle
face because it allows the major forces which determine the size
and development of the naso-maxillary process and maxillary
sinuses due to the mechanotransduction system created by the
strain and stress of the skull through strength of the muscles
of the tongue, strong chewing and swallowing. Therefore,
any disorder that causes permanent difficulty to nasal airflow
may lead to mouth breathing, which in turn decreases the
nasal airway growth stimulation of the sinus cavities, altering
the development of the middle and inferior facial thirds.
As a chronic situation this condition will end in the hypo development
of the middle face and the required amplitude that the child and
the future adult will need for a normal breathing, favoring the
increase of resistance in the upper airway and the appearance of
the sleep breathing disorders and finally the obstructive sleep apnea
/ hypopnea syndrome. It is accepted that 60% of facial development
occurs in the first four to six years of life. There is a real necessity
to go further in the early diagnosis and to take preventive solutions
through the creation of a multidisciplinary team of pediatricians,
otorhinolaryngology’s and orthodontic dentists that make this
public health problem easier to treat or even disappear it at all.
