| Summary: | In this clinical and paraclinical research carried out in 15 months, 83
individuals were selected among private office patients who were then decreased
to 32 after consideration of some
predesigned conditions of the study. 18 male patients of 6-11 yrs and 14 female
patients of 5.5-9 yrs were participated in the study. Following scientific
evaluations these results were obtained: abnormal size and function of the
tongue can cause dentoskeleteal disorders and complications in other anatomical
structures and physiological activities of the oral cavity even in absence of
any other etiological factor. Neglecting this can lead to failure of
orthodontic treatments and can be an important factor causing relapse. Besides,
we cannot declare that the tongue volume is whether complementary to the forces
or not. In conclusion, increased function because of increased tongue volume
and growth can cause dental or dentoskeletal disorders.
