Abstract

ADHD is a neuropsychological disorder, affecting attention, impulsiveness and activeness. The study included 36 children with ADHD, 47 without, and two silent observers. A dental form, SNAP-IV and ADHDT symptom checklists were used. Statistically significant differences were observed in hospi-talization histories, oral habits, tongue characteristics, and facial biotype. Differences in orofacial char-acteristics and behavior between the groups were confirmed.
