Impact of Atypical Swallowing on Periodontal Health in Adults
Sponsor: University of Roma La Sapienza
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of atypical (dysfunctional) swallowing in an adult population affected by periodontitis. The research investigates the correlation between dysfunctional swallowing patterns - characterized by abnormal tongue thrust-and clinical oral manifestations such as dental mobility and the worsening of periodontal conditions. By analyzing data collected through patient questionnaires and clinical evaluations, the study seeks to highlight how incorrect lingual posture and pressure can negatively influence the integrity of the tooth-supporting tissues in adults.
