OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the @entity10410 , malocclusions, @entity409 and salivary levels of @entity701 and alpha-amylase in @entity748 @entity1 . DESIGN: 108 7-9-yr-old @entity1 were selected from Policlinic Santa Teresinha Doutor Antonio Haddad Dib (asthmatics, n=53) and from public schools (controls, n=55), Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. Sleep @entity8599 diagnosis was confirmed by parental report of grinding sounds and the presence of shiny and polish facets on incisors and/or first permanent molars. The index of orthodontic treatment need was used for occlusion evaluation. @entity409 were evaluated using the nordic orofacial test-screening (NOT-S). Salivary @entity701 and alpha-amylase were expressed as "awakening response" (AR), calculated as the difference between levels immediately after awakening and 30min after waking, and "diurnal decline" ( @entity3519 ), calculated as the difference between levels at 30min after waking and at bedtime. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk/Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Chi-square, unpaired t test/Mann-Whitney and paired t/Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS: Sleep @entity8599 was more prevalent in @entity1 with @entity565 than controls (47.2% vs. 27.3%, p<0.05). Asthmatics had higher scores of NOT-S total and interview (p<0.05). Dysfunctions on sensory function and chewing and swallowing were more frequent in asthmatics (p<0.05). Salivary @entity701 AR on weekend was significantly higher for asthmatics (p<0.05). Salivary @entity701 @entity3519 was significantly higher on weekday than weekend for controls (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in alpha-amylase values in and between groups. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of @entity565 in @entity1 was associated with @entity10410 , negative perception of sensory, chewing and swallowing functions, and higher concentrations of salivary @entity701 on weekend.
