Abstract

Malocclusions are listed among the most prevalent oral diseases; whereas dyslalia is considered the most common speech disorder that involves articulation problems while producing sounds, without neurological basis. A literature review was performed on the topic, in order to describe the correlation between phonation problems and dental malocclusions, specifically identifying the most common phonation issues in patients with dental malocclusion problems. Within the articles reviewed, those where language disorders were associated to any syndrome, were excluded. The corollary after the review revealed that most of the authors demonstrated a relation between malocclusions and speech disorders, with open bite being the most prevalent anomaly.
