“…The correct posture of the tongue (Van Dyck et al, 2016) seems one of the most promising solutions to this problem, further stressing the importance of tongue in the rehabilitation from oral disorders. Therefore, it could be possible that the physiological asymmetries in the masticatory system of the studied human group is attributable to the posture of the tongue which, in addition to all other muscles involved in swallowing, exerts a force that is absorbed by the hard palate (Anagnostara et al, 2001; Hartl et al, 2003; Lear et al, 1965; Mosier et al, 1999; Palmer et al, 2008; Pameijer et al, 1970).…”

“…When swallowing takes place correctly, the tip of the tongue presses firmly against the roof of the mouth or hard palate, which is located slightly behind the front teeth. During an incorrect deglutition, the tip and/or sides of the tongue press against or spread between the teeth producing loading asymmetries and affecting bone asymmetry (Matsuov & Palmer, 2008; Van Dyck et al, 2016). …”

ObjectivesExact symmetry and perfect balance between opposite jaw halves, as well as between antagonistic teeth, is not frequently observed in natural masticatory systems. Research results show that asymmetry in our body, skull, and jaws is often related to genetic, epigenetic, environmental and individual ontogenetic factors. Our study aims to provide evidence for a significant link between masticatory asymmetry and occlusal contact between antagonist teeth by testing the hypothesis that tooth inclination is one of the mechanisms driving distribution of wear in masticatory phases in addition to dietary and cultural habits.Materials and MethodsThe present work investigates the relationship between dental macrowear patterns and tooth inclinations on a sample of complete maxillary and mandibular 3D models of dental arches from 19 young and adult Yuendumu Aboriginal individuals. The analysis was carried out on first molars (M1) from all quadrants. Occlusal Fingerprint Analysis was used for the quantification of macrowear patterns, and 2D cross‐sectional geometric analysis was carried out to investigate asymmetry in dental arches.ResultsThe asymmetry is highly variable on both arches, and it is associated with differences in the inclination of upper M1 crowns. Each molar has variable inclination (buccal/lingual) which influence tooth to tooth contact, producing greater or lesser variation in wear pattern. Interindividual variability of morphological variation of the occlusal relationship has to be considered in macrowear analysis.DiscussionOur results suggest that overall asymmetry in the masticatory apparatus in modern humans affects occlusal contact areas between antagonist teeth influencing macrowear and chewing efficiency during ontogeny.

“…However, considering that the strengths are correlated, it is possible to opt for the use of the maximum strength because it is the easiest to calculate and has a slightly lower coefficient of variation. The numerous studies conducted with the IOPI usually used the maximum tongue pressure as reference, including assessment of the efficacy of the therapeutic interventions [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] .…”

Purpose: to analyze axial tongue strength and related parameters by using the Forling. Methods: data regarding 92 participants, including men and women with a mean age of 23.3 ± 7.7 years, were analyzed. Results: the mean value of the mean tongue strength was 13.0 N, and the maximum strength value was 18.3 N. The mean and maximum tongue strengths showed positive correlation and highly significant association (p < 0.001). The energy accumulated by the tongue was 131.1 N/s. The mean time required for the maximum tongue strength to be reached was 3.8 s, and the decrease in time (p < 0.001) from the first to the third measurements indicates an effect of training. Conclusion: the instrument proved to be capable of measuring parameters that are important to the speech-language pathologist, indicating that it can be a promising complementary tool for clinical evaluation. Keywords: Tongue; Muscle Strength; Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a força axial da língua e parâmetros relacionados por meio do FORLING. Método: foram analisados os dados de 92 participantes, entre homens e mulheres, com média de 23,3±7,7 anos. Resultados: no parâmetro força média da língua, identificaram-se valores médios de 13,0 N, já para a força máxima observou-se valor médio de 18,3 N. A força média e a máxima da língua apresentaram correlação positiva e associação altamente significante (p<0,001). A energia acumulada pela língua indicou valores de 131,1 N/s. O tempo médio gasto para que se alcance a força máxima da língua foi de 3,8 segundos, indicando um efeito do treinamento ao se comparar a 1ª à 3ª medida, com redução dos valores (p<0,001). Conclusão: o instrumento demonstrou ser capaz de mensurar parâmetros importantes para o fonoaudió-logo, indicando ser uma promissora ferramenta complementar à avaliação clínica fonoaudiológica.

“…Due to the above mentioned aetiologic factors, several treatment options have been proposed for treatment and management of the AOB malocclusion. The treatment options include behavioural modifications to eradicate oral habits or abnormal functions [32–38], orthodontic treatment that involves extruding the anterior teeth or intruding the molars [39–44], and surgical treatment of the basal bones [41,42,44–46]. The only agreement that seems to be current is that treatment of the anterior open bite is demanding and has high rates of relapse [8,17,35,47].…”

Anterior open bite (AOB) is one of the most complex malocclusions to manage. AOB is caused by either by skeletal, genetic or environmental factors. Numerous treatment options are currently utilised to manage AOB. These vary from non-invasive behavioural shaping to orthodontic and surgical interventions. This paper reviews the available orthodontic and non-orthodontic interventions used in the management of AOB. The literature review was carried out using the PubMed search engine from the first of January 2000 to the first of June 2017. Two major keywords (open bite and anterior open bite) were used in addition to 23 minor keywords in the review. AOB is one of the most complex malocclusions to treat with high relapse rates. Long term outcome in treatments of patients with AOB was substantially low. Relapse rates were not taken into consideration for some of the literature reviewed. Despite limitations of the literature, it is recommended that orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) and non-orthodontic intervention (NOI) be used in conjunction as an effective treatment option for Anterior Open Bite.

The effect of orofacial myofunctional treatment in children with anterior open bite and tongue dysfunction: a pilot study

Abstract: OMT can positively influence tongue behaviour. However, further research is recommended to clarify the success of OMT as an adjunct to orthodontic treatment and to identify possible factors influencing the outcome.
