Abstract

Background: The stomatognathic system (SS) has gained higher visibility over the last decades due emerging primary records evaluating its complex relationships with the central nervous system (CNS). Multiple anatomical and functional functions can be correlated with the SS, including its critical role in craniofacial development, sensory perception, and motor coordination. Despite its central role in neurosensory integration, its relationship with the central nervous system (CNS) remains underexplored in the neurological sciences. Objective: The present study aimed to revisit the major (but commonly unexplored) principles of Jaw Functional Orthopedics (JFO) and evidence emerging academic foundation that supports the reframing of the SS within a generalized taxonomy of neural regulation and plasticity. We assessed whether the suggested terminology "neuro-stomatology" adequately reflects true conceptual scientific advancements or should be considered as a mere neologism. Methods: This study utilized principles of integrative synthesis of the literature, including evidence from multiple fields and medical specialties. Therefore, we collated information related to embryology, neural crest migration, cranial nerve distribution, neurotrophins signaling, as well as bone mechanotransduction, and CNS-SS feedback loops. Additionally, we emphasized our analysis and descriptive summarization on experimental and clinical results correlating mastication, neuroplasticity, and hippocampal function. Results: The SS is derived from neural crest cells, is formed by a dense network of afferent and efferent neural pathways and connections, exhibiting a highly developed proprioceptive sensitivity property. The functional stimulation of the SS, specially related to the mastication activation, has been demonstrated to impact hippocampal activity, besides modulating neurotrophins expression, and shaping bone architecture through cellular signaling networks. The collated evidence highlights the SS as an active modulator of the neural development, maintenance, and adaptation. Conclusion: Based on the various publications beforementioned, the authors conclude that the term "neuro-stomatology" is not solely a neologism but depicts an existing paradigm shift in comprehending of stomatognathic system physiology. This expanded evaluation of literature and historical features related to the theme reinforces the fundamentals of JFO.

神经口腔医学:新名词还是范式变化?透视评估。
背景:在过去的几十年里,由于新兴的初步记录评估了其与中枢神经系统(CNS)的复杂关系,口颌系统(SS)已经获得了更高的知名度。多种解剖和功能功能可与SS相关,包括其在颅面发育,感觉知觉和运动协调中的关键作用。尽管它在神经感觉整合中起着核心作用,但它与中枢神经系统(CNS)的关系在神经科学中仍未得到充分探索。目的:本研究旨在重新审视颌骨功能矫形学(JFO)的主要(但通常未被探索的)原理,以及支持在神经调节和可塑性的广义分类中重构下颌功能矫形学的证据。我们评估了所建议的术语“神经-口腔学”是否充分反映了真正的概念科学进步,或者应该被视为仅仅是一个新词。方法:本研究采用文献综合的原则,包括来自多个领域和医学专业的证据。因此,我们整理了与胚胎学、神经嵴迁移、颅神经分布、神经营养因子信号、骨机械转导和CNS-SS反馈回路相关的信息。此外,我们还对咀嚼、神经可塑性和海马功能相关的实验和临床结果进行了分析和描述性总结。结果:SS来源于神经嵴细胞,由传入和传出神经通路和连接的密集网络形成,表现出高度发达的本体感觉敏感性。SS的功能刺激,特别是与咀嚼激活有关的功能刺激,已被证明影响海马活动,除了调节神经营养因子的表达,并通过细胞信号网络塑造骨结构。整理的证据强调SS是神经发育、维持和适应的主动调节剂。结论:基于前面提到的各种出版物,作者得出结论,“神经口腔医学”一词不仅仅是一个新词,而是描述了对口腔系统生理学理解的现有范式转变。这种对与主题相关的文学和历史特征的扩展评估强化了JFO的基础。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Neurophysiology publishes original articles on the function of the nervous system. All levels of function are included, from the membrane and cell to systems and behavior. Experimental approaches include molecular neurobiology, cell culture and slice preparations, membrane physiology, developmental neurobiology, functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, systems electrophysiology, imaging and mapping techniques, and behavioral analysis. Experimental preparations may be invertebrate or vertebrate species, including humans. Theoretical studies are acceptable if they are tied closely to the interpretation of experimental data and elucidate principles of broad interest.
