Study of Orofacial Function in Preschool Children Born Prematurely

Children born prematurely often exhibit orofacial dysfunction. We conducted Nordic Orofacial Test Screening and analyzed chewing and swallowing functions of 243 children aged 3–5 years, consisting of 142 and 101 children born full-term and preterm, respectively, to evaluate the orofacial function of...

description Children born prematurely often exhibit orofacial dysfunction. We conducted Nordic Orofacial Test Screening and analyzed chewing and swallowing functions of 243 children aged 3–5 years, consisting of 142 and 101 children born full-term and preterm, respectively, to evaluate the orofacial function of preschool premature children. Categorical variables were analyzed using chi-square test for a comparison. The univariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the effects of birth weight, gestational age, intubation at birth, use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure support after birth, and use of nasogastric tube on the chewing and swallowing functions of children born prematurely. In this survey, term-born children had a higher incidence of bad oral habits, grinding teeth while sleeping, and abnormal gulping compared to preterm-born children. Preterm-born children had a higher incidence of choking, decreased mouth opening (<30 mm), abnormal dental arch form, abnormal palatal vault, and dysarthria compared to term-born children.
