Abstract:

Objective This study aimed to design and develop a new measurement method of the oral airflow volume in mouth-breathing patients. Methods The mechanism of using MasterScreen Pneumo (a pulmonary function instrument) was altered to be a new measurement method of the tidal and oral airflow volumes in orthodontic patients, and its reliability was evaluated statistically.Results Both tidal volume and oral airflow volume can be measured by the newly designed MasterScreen Pneumo. Conclusion The existence and severity of mouth-breathing patients can be determined rapidly by the newly designed MasterScreen Pneumo, which can be easily applied clinically to measure the oral airflow volume.

Key words: mouth breathing, oral airflow volume, tidal volume, pulmonary function instrument
