“…The pathogenetic role of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, mandible position, and malocclusion has been hypothesized in this complex scenario [8]. Relation between various ear conditions and TMJ has been known for a century, with a possible role for orthognathic therapy in ameliorating ear function [9][10][11]. Dental malocclusion has a high prevalence in children, ranging from 20 to 40%, with variations among different ethnic groups [8].…”

Otitis media (OM) and its recurring (rAOM), effusive (OME), and chronic forms, represent a frequent clinical challenge. The middle ear, the mandible, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) share several embryological and anatomical connections. Despite that, the role of mandibular malposition and TMJ dysfunction is frequently overlooked in the management of otitis media. In this narrative review, we present current evidence supporting the etiopathogenetic role of a dysfunctional stomatognathic system in the onset of OM and the effectiveness of orthognathic treatment in preventing rAOM and OME. In particular, a focus on the influence of TMJ on Eustachian tube function is provided.

“…To strengthen our point, a dysfunctional temporomandibular joint has recently been reconsidered as a potential worsening factor of recurrent acute otitis media, otitis media with effusion, and Menière's disease, which in turn have been associated with OSA. 4,5 Noticeably, both Menière's disease and otitis media in its recurrent acute and effusive forms could benefit from treatment with oral appliances, as OSA and TMDs do after a thorough patient selection and a correct design of the devices.…”

sial issue such as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in this special population. We also congratulate the colleagues on the attempt to provide a matched control group.However, we fear that speaking of TMDs and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the elephant in the room could have been overlooked: dental malocclusion and mandibular malposition as risk factors for both conditions. We are also concerned about some methodological issues that could have undermined the results and misled the conclusions.Malocclusion and mandibular misalignment are claimed to be potential risk factors for both TMDs and OSA.
