Sumario:Due to its climatic conditions, Mendoza is a region of allergic people, causing a large percentage of children and adolescents, who come to our dental office suffering from different types of malocclusion, to be affected by Mouth Breathing Syndrome (MBS.) Our goal is to distinguish the patient with this syndrome in our province. Our reaserch was a correlational descriptive one. In addition, 150 patients suffering from MBS, aged 7 to 17, have been observed. The patient history was carried out, i.e., a thorough facial, functional, buccal and clinical examination. The cephalometric tracing was also studied. The data obtained was analyzed in order to obtain a complete characterization of the case. The clinical features that characterize these patients were determined. The professional group belonging to the Health Department together with the population in general were beneficial for us since the MBS is one of the most frequent dysfunctions within our area.
