Why is it important?
There is little in the literature about the factors associated with mouth breathing in patients with developmental disabilities, such as patients with cerebral palsy. Such knowledge may assist in the prevention and treatment of a condition, which impacts the life of these individuals. It is possible that early interventions against mouth breathing could be effective. The involvement of a multidisciplinary team in this context is essential. Therefore, knowing the variables that are related to mouth breathing is important in the search for treatments that are more likely to be administered in this group of patients.
