Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for Feeding and Swallowing in Children From Four to 12 Years: What Does the Evidence Show? A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) for improving feeding and swallowing outcomes in children aged 4–12 years. Searches of four databases identified 17 studies, all reporting positive feeding and/or swallowing outcomes, including improved eating and swallowing skills, orofacial muscle function and

Idiopathic hypoplasia of the masseter muscle: a case report

, 2017
Objective and importance: Hypoplasia of the masseter muscle is a rare condition, described as partial or total, associated with congenital malformations or pathologies. Rare cases are those with no genetic alterations in their familiar picture.

Mastication‐Induced Brain Blood Flow Changes Before and After Surgical‐Orthodontic Treatment in Skeletal Class III Patients: A Pilot Longitudinal Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In 22 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, chewing‐induced brain blood flow (BBF) was measured before and after surgical‐orthodontic treatment. Patients with low pre‐treatment BBF tended toward an increase post‐treatment (+3.4%), while those with high pre‐treatment BBF tended toward a decrease (−16.4%), indicating pre‐treatment BBF as a ...

Case Report: Masseter hypertrophy: A case and review [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research
Masseter muscle hypertrophy is a rare condition with no known etiology that has become more prevalent due to growing aesthetic concerns. It is distinguished by either unilaterally or bilaterally enlarged masseter muscles.

TRPV1 Channel-Mediated Bilateral Allodynia Induced by Unilateral Masseter Muscle Inflammation in Rats

Molecular Pain, 2013
Pain in masticatory muscles is among the most prominent symptoms of temperomandibular disorders (TMDs) that have diverse and complex etiology. A common complaint of TMD is that unilateral pain of craniofacial muscle can cause a widespread of bilateral ...

Effects of Clenching Intensity and Duration on Pressure Pain Threshold and Masseter‐Muscle Stiffness Under Standardised EMG‐Based Contraction Exposure

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Under equivalent prescribed EMG‐based contraction exposure, pressure pain threshold was modestly but significantly lower immediately after low‐intensity, long‐duration clenching than after high‐intensity, short‐duration clenching, whereas the latter induced a transient reduction in masseter‐muscle stiffness.

The effects of denervation and formoterol administration on facial growth

Australasian Orthodontic Journal, 2014
Objective: To identify and demonstrate possible alterations of skeletal structures which might follow either unilateral surgical denervation of the masseter muscle, unilateral intramuscular injection of formoterol directly into the masseter muscle, or ...

Associations Between Wake‐Time and Sleep‐Time Masticatory Muscle Activity and Clinical Correlates in Free‐Living Adults

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Objective wearable EMG revealed partial within‐individual coupling between wake‐ and sleep‐time masticatory muscle activity. Tooth wear and self‐reported oral behaviours did not reflect current muscle activity, supporting assessment across behavioural states rather than reliance on proxy measures alone.
