Abstract

Background: Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a widely adopted behavioural intervention for managing Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs). Nevertheless, there is a lack of data on the long-term outcomes of OMT.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare orofacial myofunctional status, orofacial strength, and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in healthy adults with and without a history of OMT, and to explore person- and therapy-related factors influencing long-term outcomes of OMT.

Methods: Thirty-one healthy adults (mean age 23.9 years old, SD 3.99 years) who underwent OMT as a child or adolescent were included in this cross-sectional study (OMT group), as well as 31 age and gender matched control participants without a history of OMT (non-OMT group). For perceptual assessment of orofacial functions, the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES) was used, with higher scores indicative of better performance. Maximum isometric pressure and endurance measurements were obtained using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). The Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire (OHIP-NL14) was used to assess OHRQoL.

Results: The OMT group did not show significant differences in orofacial appearance/posture, mobility, strength, endurance, or OHRQoL compared to those who did not undergo therapy. The OMT group did demonstrate a significantly higher OMES function sub score (p = 0.046) and exhibited a typical swallowing pattern significantly more frequently (p = 0.045) than the non-OMT group. No demographic or therapy-related factors significantly influencing long-term OMT intervention outcomes were identified.

Conclusions: These results suggest that OMT may have a lasting positive impact in the treatment of OMDs, indicating its effectiveness over the long term.

成人口面肌功能行为（OMA-）项目：有或没有接受过口面肌功能治疗的健康成人的口面肌功能行为、口面力量和口腔健康相关生活质量。

背景：口面部肌功能治疗（OMT）是一种被广泛采用的行为干预治疗口面部肌功能障碍（OMDs）。然而，缺乏关于OMT长期结果的数据。目的：本研究的目的是比较有和没有OMT病史的健康成人的口面部肌功能状态、口面部力量和口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL），并探讨影响OMT长期结局的个人和治疗相关因素。方法：本横断面研究包括31名在儿童或青少年时期接受过OMT的健康成年人（平均年龄23.9岁，SD 3.99岁）（OMT组），以及31名年龄和性别匹配的无OMT史的对照组（非OMT组）。对于口面部功能的知觉评估，采用orofacial myfunction Evaluation with Scores (OMES)，分数越高表现越好。最大等径压力和耐力测量使用爱荷华口腔性能仪（IOPI）。使用口腔健康影响问卷（OHIP-NL14）评估OHRQoL。结果：与未接受治疗的患者相比，OMT组在口腔面部外观/姿势、活动能力、力量、耐力或OHRQoL方面没有显着差异。与非OMT组相比，OMT组确实表现出更高的OMES功能评分（p = 0.046），并表现出更频繁的典型吞咽模式（p = 0.045）。没有发现显著影响长期OMT干预结果的人口统计学或治疗相关因素。结论：这些结果表明，OMT可能对治疗omd具有持久的积极影响，表明其长期有效性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
