(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-12-09) Hernandez Rodas, Maria Elena; Salcedo Rioja, Mercedes Rita
The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of audiovisual training on deleterious oral habits at the San Pablo Apóstol educational center, Lima, 2019. It was a quasi-experimental, descriptive, and longitudinal study. The sample consisted of 30 primary school teachers, with 15 teachers receiving audiovisual training and 15 teachers receiving a lecture. The audiovisual training involved projecting images, videos, and clinical cases about the habit of mouth breathing and atypical swallowing. The lecture consisted of a verbal presentation without visual aids on the aforementioned habits. Before and after the training, the teachers completed a 15-question questionnaire, previously validated by expert judgment, to measure knowledge about deleterious oral habits. Additionally, they identified the sequelae in patients with mouth breathing and atypical swallowing using images. The results were analyzed using the Student’s t-test, with a significance level of 0.05%. The results showed that the teachers who received audiovisual training increased their knowledge level from 20% to 73.3%. In contrast, the teachers who received the lecture did not show an improvement in their knowledge.

Relationship between mouth breathing and foot type in children from 8 to 13 years of the Juan Pablo II parish community - Lima 2021.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-05-09) Sevilla Soto, Ornella Yvon; Céspedes Porras, Jacqueline
This study aims to find the relationship between mouth breathing and foot type in children aged 8 to 13 years. Various tests were conducted to determine mouth breathing, such as the cotton test, water test, Glatzel mirror test, and water retention test. To determine foot type, a footprint was obtained using a plantar footprint device and the Hernández Corvo method, with the help of an orthopedic specialist. Once the results were obtained, they were entered into an Excel sheet for evaluation and comparison. According to the results, no significant relationship was found between mouth breathing and foot type in children aged 8 to 13 years from the Juan Pablo II Parish community. The chi-square test was used to establish the relationship between the qualitative variables. When performing the different breathing tests, it was observed that the participants' parents were unaware of the type of breathing their children had. Therefore, it is recommended that they undergo dental checkups to correct their breathing habits. Similarly, children who present flat or extreme cavus feet are advised to visit an orthopedic specialist to correct or address the problem.
