Scientific article: The relationship between the use of pillows and mechanical pressure on the facial skeleton.

We are pleased to share the latest scientific article in which Dr. Romina Vignolo has participated alongside Dr. Daniela Dos Reis Mendes and Dr. Jorge Ferreiro Calavia: A cross-sectional study on the relationship between the use of pillows as a habit of mechanical pressure on the facial skeleton and unilateral crossbite in patients aged 3 to 12 years. We are sharing the PDF of the article published in the Journal of Oral Medicine and Dental Research.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the relationship between the “pillow effect” (preferred facial support posture adopted during sleep) and unilateral crossbite as a sign of dentoalveolar compression in a pediatric sample, evaluating the lateral concordance between the habit and the malocclusion.
