Facial Burn During Orthognathic Surgery: Case Report, Jessica C. Avelar, Marcio Jose De Campos, Raphaella Barcellos Fernandes, Sergio Luiz Da Mota Júnior, Marcelo Reis Fraga, Robert Willer Farinazzo Vitral
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Despite the fact that the advances in surgical techniques have contributed to the reduction in the number of complications associated with orthognathic surgery, problems resulting from different phases of treatment, treatment planning, and postoperative period may occur. This paper presents a case of facial soft tissue lesion, burn in the lower lip region, in a patient with Class III malocclusion during orthognathic surgery. A 22-year, 3-month-old male patient with Class III malocclusion was burned in the paramedian region of the lower lip due to unnoticed overheating of the low-speed handpiece during sagittal osteotomy of the left mandibular ramus. The injury …

Juvenile Dermatomyositis - A Case Report With Review On Oral Manifestations And Oral Health Considerations, Pritesh Ruparelia, Oshin Verma, Vrutti Shah, Krishna Shah

Juvenile Dermatomyositis is the most common inflammatory myositis in children, distinguished by proximal muscle weakness, a characteristic rash and Gottron’s papules. The oral lesions most commonly manifest as diffuse stomatitis and pharyngitis with halitosis. We report a case of an 8 year old male with proximal muscle weakness of all four limbs, rash, Gottron’s papules and oral manifestations. Oral health professionals must be aware of the extraoral and intraoral findings of this rare, but potentially life threatening autoimmune disease of childhood, for early diagnosis, treatment, prevention of long-term complications and to improve the prognosis and hence, the quality of life …

Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) involves difficulty during one or more of the stages of swallowing, resulting in difficulty moving the bolus from the mouth to the stomach. A deficit in tongue mobility, such as that found with ankyloglossia, may affect the oropharyngeal transit time of the bolus and predispose a person to OPD. This study was conducted to examine the possible relationship between tongue tie and oropharyngeal dysphagia. Data were gathered on 8 participants (5 females, 3 males) between the ages of 12-43 years. The Lingual Frenulum Protocol (Marchesan, 2012) was used to determine tongue tie. An Iowa Oral Performance Instrument …

Objective: To evaluate self-care efficacy on reduction of pain and wakefulness bruxism before the treatment with the stabilization splint. Methods: Sixty patients were divided into two groups: 30 belonging to the group that received the self-care guide (G1) and 30 belonging to the control group (G2) who were advised to wait for the beginning of the treatment with the stabilization splint. G1 received a self-care guide for immediate application before any intervention for bruxism treatment. The instructions were given as tips to follow every day for 1 month. Before being given to the patient, the guide was read aloud and …

Submental Muscle Tissue Compliance During Relaxation, Contraction, And After Tone-Modification Interventions, Heather M. Clark, Nancy Pearl Solomon
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Deviations in muscle tone are presumed to accompany speech motor control deficits in select forms of dysarthria, although there is little confirmation of these associations. For patients experiencing neuromuscular impairments, therapeutic interventions and/or principles have been devised to alleviate tone deviations where they occur and to prevent the development or exacerbation of tone deviations. Potentially therapeutic effects of these interventions on muscle tone in the speech musculature have not been studied empirically. One reason for the paucity of research is that tools for assessing muscle tone in the speech musculature are not generally available. This pilot study explored the feasibility …

Effect Of Oral Screen Treatment On Dentition, Lip Morphology, And Function In Children With Incompetent Lips, Py Owman-Moll, Bengt Ingervall
Effect Of Oral Screen Treatment On Dentition, Lip Morphology, And Function In Children With Incompetent Lips, Py Owman-Moll, Bengt Ingervall
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
The effect of treatment with an oral screen was studied in sixteen children with incompetent lips who were compared with a control group of sixteen children who also had incompetent lips. The period of observation was I year. The treatment brought about retroclination of proclined maxillary incisors with a resulting decrease in overjet, in the diastema between the incisors, and in arch length. The mandibular incisors proclined somewhat. No change in general intermaxillary relation or in arch width was observed with the treatment. Neither lip morphology nor the electromyographically recorded function of the lips was affected by the treatment. The …

Orofacial Muscle Imbalance: Some Considerations In Referral, James M. Wood
Orofacial Muscle Imbalance: Some Considerations In Referral, James M. Wood
International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial muscle imbalance, with its ancillary disorders of tongue thrust swallow, poor tongue posture habit, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and other orolingual habits or activities, presents some problems related to the time when a referral should be made. These referrals may originate from the dentist, orthodontist, allergist, otorhinolaryngologist, neurologist, speech pathologist, or the myofunctional clinician, to mention a few. This paper was written to discuss some of the conditions which should be considered in determining if a referral should be made, and if so, to whom? Along with the more typical referral reasons, the referring clinician may wish to consider …
