Abstract

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
