- ÍtemSolo MetadatosImpacto de la expansión maxilar en la otorrinolaringología. Revisión de literatura.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Durán Morales, Jhuslady Belén; Ramos Montiel, Ronald Roossevelt; 0704509199Aim: To evaluate the impact of maxillary expansion in otorhinolaryngology. Materials and methods: A literature review was carried out in various databases in English and Spanish, yielding as search results 249 related articles in PubMed and 168 in Google Scholar, from which the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 25 were selected. Results: Regarding the prevalence of malocclusions in Preschool and School children in several Latin American countries, prevalences between 30.84% and 81% were found, regarding crossbite during the review, the prevalence was found to be between 14,6-23%. Conclusion: It was evidenced that there is a favorable impact between the execution of maxillary expansion and certain ear- nose-mouth alterations, which could cause an increase in the dimensions and volume of the nasopharyngeal structures, even allowing an increase in maximum nasal inspiratory flow, which in turn can be useful for the management of other respiratory disorders such as nasal obstructions, rhinitis related to adenoid gland processes, apnea and the habit of mouth breathing, thus improving the life quality of patients.
