RESUMO
O paciente respirador bucal requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar em seu tratamento, envolvendo principalmente otorrinolaringologistas e ortodontistas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, através da aplicação de questionário, a relação existente entre esses profissionais para garantir melhor qualidade de vida e efetividade no tratamento da respiração não fisiológica. Foram aplicados 103 questionários, respondidos por 53 ortodontistas e 50 otorrinolaringologistas durante o ano de 2009 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados foram descritos em tabela, descrevendo as variáveis dependentes. Os resultados demonstraram que existe uma interação entre as especialidades. O principal motivo que justifica a ação interdisciplinar, citado por ambas as áreas, é a respiração bucal, seguida de infecção da vias aéreas superiores para otorrinolaringologistas, e de dores articulares para os ortodontistas. A respiração bucal pode influenciar no desenvolvimento maxilofacial nos pacientes jovens e dificultar a qualidade do sono. Conclui-se que a interação observada entre as especialidades se dá principalmente pelo intercâmbio de pacientes.
ABSTRACT
Mouth breather patients require a multidisciplinary approach in their treatment, involving otorhinolaryngologist (ENTs) and orthodontists. This study aimed to assess through a questionnaire the relationship between these professionals in order to offer to the patient a better quality of life and effectiveness in the treatment of non-physiological breathing. We applied 103 questionnaires that were answered by 53 orthodontists and 50 otolaryngologists during the year 2009 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Results were also described in tables presenting the dependent variables, and indicated that there is an interaction between the specialties. The main reason that justifies disciplinary action, mentioned by both areas was mouth breathing, followed by infection of the upper airways for otolaryngologists, and joint pain for orthodontists. Mouth breathing may influence the maxillofacial development in young patients and hamper the quality of sleep. We concluded that the interaction observed between the specialties, occurs mainly through the exchange of patients.
