RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate, in individuals with anterior and posterior crossbite, the influence of orthognathic surgery on the production of different Portuguese phonemes grouped as to the place of articulation. Model: Prospective study for comparison of the speech of individuals submitted to orthognathic surgery, before and after surgery. Setting: Physiology Laboratory – HRAC/USP. Participants: 19 males and 11 females (mean age 21 years) with anterior and posterior crossbite with repaired cleft lip and palate. Interventions: Speech evaluation before and about four months after orthognathic surgery. Variables: Place of articulation of the groups of bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palatal and velar phonemes, considering the presence or absence of alteration. Results: There was predominance of permanence without alteration for the groups of bilabial and velar phonemes, permanence with alteration for the labiodental and dental phonemes, and improvement in the alveolar phonemes. As regards the group of palatal phonemes, there was a greater distribution among the outcomes with balance between permanence with and without alteration. Though rare, there were cases of worsening for these four groups. Conclusion: In subjects with anterior and posterior crossbite, the orthognathic surgery did not yield any influence on the bilabial and velar phonemes, which were correct in the pre-surgical phase; a positive influence was observed in less than 1/3 in the group of labiodental phonemes and close to 50% in the dental, alveolar and palatal phonemes; the negative influence in the four groups was close to 5%. Except for the cases with automatic adaptation of all phonemes in the group and permanence without alteration, the other results indicated the need of orofacial myofunctional therapy.
