What Is the Pterygomandibular Raphe? A Confluence of Fasciae Rather Than a Discrete Structure

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pterygomandibular raphe (PMR) has traditionally been described as a fibrous or tendinous band connecting the bucinator (BM) and superior pharyngeal constrictor (SPCM) muscles. However, recent evidence has questioned its existence. This study aimed to reevaluate the anatomy of the pterygomandibular region by preserving fascial continuity ...

Quantifying the Pressure of Labial and Buccinator Regions Pre‐ and Post‐ Facial Nerve Reanimation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Flaccid facial nerve paralysis (FFNP) impairs oral function and quality of life. Tensor fascia lata slings (TFL) are used to improve oral competence. This study used the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) to measure oral competence in patients with FFNP undergoing facial reanimation.

Impact of Infratemporal Fossa Clearance on Survival in Advanced Buccal Mucosa Cancers

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Buccal mucosa cancers are the most prevalent oral cavity cancers in South Asia, often attributed to widespread tobacco use. The current NCCN guidelines generally advise against primary surgery for locally very advanced (cT4b) buccal cancers involving the masticatory space and infratemporal fossa (ITF).

Generative Artificial Intelligence–Driven Clinical Case Simulation in Temporomandibular Disorder Education: ChatGPT Versus Real Patients

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and orofacial pain (OFP) demand advanced diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills in dental education. Traditional simulations with real patients face limitations in availability and standardization.

Adjunctive Botulinum Toxin Type A for Bruxism and Sweat‐Worsened Facial Blistering in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Case Series

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Capsule Summary Bruxism and sweat‐induced facial blisters can affect patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) quality of life (QoL). We present the outcomes of orofacial BTX‐A infiltrations to treat these conditions. Three patients with severe RDEB, bruxism and microstomia received BTX‐A infiltrations (50U‐100U) in masseters and ...

Outcomes and Innervation of Gracilis for Pediatric Facial Paralysis: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review compares innervation techniques for gracilis free muscle transfer in pediatric facial paralysis. Masseteric innervation produced the greatest commissure excursion, cross‐facial nerve grafting enabled spontaneous smiles, and dual innervation balanced both with high satisfaction and low complication rates across techniques ...
