<p><em><strong><span>Background:</span></strong></em><span class="apple-converted-space"><span> </span></span><span>The growth of the craniofacial complex is essential for infant health as it is one of the best predictors of overall growth. Moreover, the facial development depends on stimuli such as suction, breathing, chewing, and swallowing, which induce an adequate facial anatomy and shape face structure. The motor activity is also influenced by the type of feeding that is part of child development.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em><strong>Purpose:</strong></em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>To analyze the effects of oral motor function in the proper development of craniofacial structures in children, while considering biological mechanisms and type of feeding.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em><strong>Methods:</strong></em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>A critical review of literature was carried out with the aim of analyzing the relationship between biological mechanisms, type of feeding, and infant oral functional processes as mechanisms to stimulate craniofacial growth.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em><strong>Results:</strong></em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>An appropriate oral motor function induces optimal craniofacial growth.

Prospective Longitudinal

Objective: To examine the natural history of feeding skills in babies with clefts and identify risk factors and predictors of poor feeding. Participants: Sixty-two babies with clefts were examined at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 14 months of age. Main Outcome Measures: Feeding ability, oral motor function, and feeding efficiency were assessed. Univariate analyses were used to determine whether oral motor function and sequelae varied according to feeding ability or cleft condition. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to determine risk factors for poor feeding. Results: Poor feeding skills were detected in one third of newborns. The prevalence of poor feeding reduced to 19% at 3 months of age and 15% at 14 months of age. Oral motor dysfunction and sequelae (particularly nasal regurgitation) were more commonly observed in babies with poor feeding skills irrespective of comorbidity. The main risk factor for poor feeding was a diagnosis of syndrome or Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). At 2 weeks of age, babies with syndrome or PRS were 15 times more likely to have poor feeding skills than their nonsyndromic counterparts. When syndrome or PRS was controlled for, babies with cleft palate and cleft lip and palate were equally likely to have poor feeding skills. Parental report of feeding efficiency was predictive of poor feeding in young babies. Conclusions: Poor feeding skills are relatively common in newborns with cleft palate and cleft lip and palate. Treatment for feeding problems may be needed beyond the first year of life, especially for babies born with PRS or a syndrome.

ABSTRACT Objective: this study aimed at investigating the Schedule Oral Motor Assessment (SOMA) tool to be used with preterm infants and to compare its results with the Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale (POFRAS) to start oral feeding. Methods: a cross-sectional and quantitative study, consisting in a sample of 45 healthy and clinically stable preterm infants, assessed at their first oral feeding with two tools: the Schedule Oral Motor Assessment and Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale. Stata 10.0 software was used for data analysis. Results: 10 preterm infants with readiness for oral feeding showed normal oral motor function, and 16, presented with oral motor dysfunction, did not show readiness for feeding (p <0.05). The time of transition for full oral feeding was 13.5 (± 8.1) days for preterm infants with better results in both assessment tools, and 17.7 (± 10.9) days for those who did not show readiness for oral feeding and had oral motor dysfunction to initiate oral feeding, resulting in a given clinical relevance, even showing no significance (p> 0.05). Conclusion: these results suggest that the Schedule Oral Motor Assessment can be an adjunctive method for evaluation of the oral motor function at the first oral feeding in preterm infants.

NOTE: This article was first presented as a part of a workshop, "Oral-Motor Func­tion and Dysfunction in Children" spon­sored by the Division of Physical Therapy, Department of Medical Allied Health Pro­fessions, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and supported in part by a grant from the Bureau of Community Health Services, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The dates were May 25-28, 1977. The proceedings of the conference were later published in a book, Oral-Motor Function and Dysfunction in Children, edited by Janet M. Wilson.
