Objectives:Literature presents conflicting results regarding malocclusions, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and sleep bruxism in children with ADHD. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of these parameters.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 40 consecutive ADHD children referred to the Paediatric Dentistry Unit of Fondazione Policlinico Universitario “A. Gemelli” IRCCS, Rome. All subjects underwent an orthodontic examination and were screened for OSA and sleep bruxism. Data were compared to a sex- and aged-matched control group.Results:Prevalence of high risk of OSA in children with ADHD was 62.5% compared to 10% in the control group ( p < .00001). No differences were found in any of the occlusal variables examined between children with ADHD and controls ( p > .05). An increased prevalence of sleep bruxism was observed in ADHD children (40%) compared to controls (7.5%) ( p < .001).Conclusions:A higher prevalence of OSA risk and probable sleep bruxism were observed in ADHD patients compared with controls. No significant differences were observed in malocclusions d

儿童 ADHD 患者的咬合不正、睡眠磨牙症和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停风险：一项前瞻性研究

目的：关于 ADHD 儿童的咬合不正、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停 (OSA) 和睡眠磨牙症，文献提出了相互矛盾的结果。本研究的目的是评估这些参数的患病率。方法：对 40 名转诊至 Policlinico Universitario 基金会“A. 儿童牙科单位”的连续 40 名 ADHD 儿童进行了一项前瞻性研究。Gemelli”IRCCS，罗马。所有受试者均接受了正畸检查，并筛查了 OSA 和睡眠磨牙症。将数据与性别和年龄匹配的对照组进行比较。结果：ADHD 儿童 OSA 高风险患病率为 62.5%，而对照组为 10% (p < .00001)。在 ADHD 儿童和对照组儿童之间检查的任何咬合变量均未发现差异 (p > .05)。与对照组 (7.5%) 相比，ADHD 儿童 (40%) 的睡眠磨牙症患病率有所增加 (p < .001)。结论：与对照组相比，ADHD 患者中观察到 OSA 风险和可能的睡眠磨牙症的患病率较高。咬合不正的情况没有观察到显着差异
