Resumo
A síndrome de Down (SD) ou a trissomia do cromossomo 21, é a anomalia congênita autossômica mais frequente, com prevalência global de 1 / 1.000, no Chile de 2.5 / 1.000 nascidos vivos. Devido aos distúrbios de crescimento, desenvolvimento e hipotonia muscular, as pessoas com SD apresentam boca aberta com grande salivação, lábio inferior evertido, elevação do lábio superior inativo e ângulo da boca mais baixo. Objetivo: Avaliar a literatura sobre o tratamento precoce dos distúrbios orofaciais em crianças com SD para prevenilas ou minimizá-las. Método: Pesquisa na base de dados PubMed e Scielo, sem discriminar ano de publicação, idioma: inglês-espanhol, selecionando 26 artigos. Resultados: Existem mudanças positivas na função motora orofacial, observando-se grandes alterações nos casos mais graves. Conclusões: Uma criança com SD se beneficia do tratamento precoce, mas faltam estudos comparáveis em termos de duração, idade e tipo de terapia.
