Method:A sequential mixed research design combining qualitative research and user-centered software development was applied. Qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with eight SLTs, one patient and three relatives to gather ideas for an app to support orofacial myofunctional therapy. On the basis of the findings, a paper-based prototype was developed, which was then evaluated by seven end users, to refine the concept of the app. Results: Qualitative data on desirable functionalities were clustered into topics and related subcategories containing general ideas for the app – a control mechanism, a reward system, the visualization of exercises, and pop-up messages for reminders and recommendations. The paper prototype was developed that addressed these functionalities. Discussion: An app-based exercise tool is considered to have added value for orofacial myofunctional therapy. A prototype for a mobile application is ready for programming and subsequent testing in the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders by conducting additional interviews to ascertain patients’ perceptions.","PeriodicalId":77635,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of orofacial myology : official publication of the International Association of Orofacial Myology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89587877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article chronicles the journey of several individuals who shaped the field of orthodontics and influenced the formation of the specialty of orofacial myology. The early years of orthodontics were challenging. In addition to the struggle to elevate the focus of orthodontics beyond mechanics, there was the challenge to convince academia to deem it worthy of post-graduate study. Dr. Edward H. Angle left his indelible mark on orthodontics and planted seeds regarding the mutual relationship of dentition with oral-facial muscles, respiration, and oral habits. In the mid-1900s, Dr. Walter J. Straub picked up the mantle. His stated quest was to identify and rectify dental relapse. His search led him to investigate allergies, oral habits, bottle feeding, and swallowing. There were others, but primarily as a result of these two men, the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM) was created. Over the past 50 years, the IAOM has continued to grow, evolve, and set the gold standard for excellence in the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders.","PeriodicalId":77635,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of orofacial myology : official publication of the International Association of Orofacial Myology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81191845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tongue, however, is reported to periodically move from its intended placement on the IOPI bulb during measurement. This study sought to determine one’s perception of tongue-to-bulb slippage with and without two anti-slip patches (Patch1 – flexible fabric, Patch2 – hypoallergenic micropore fabric) and whether measures of tongue strength and endurance differed across the three IOPI bulb conditions. Method: 40 healthy adults were randomly assigned to perform tongue strength and endurance procedures by elevating either the anterior (n = 22) or posterior (n = 18) portions of the oral tongue. Three IOPI bulb conditions (bulb alone, bulb+Patch1, bulb+Patch2) were used for tongue strength (5 trials per condition) and endurance (3 trials per condition) assessments. A survey to assess comfort level, stability, and preference followed. Result: The bulb+Patch1 was perceived to maintain placement and significantly reduce tongue-to-bulb slippage, F (2,76) = 43.557, p < .0001; F (2,76) = 45.451, p < .0001, compared to bulb alone and bulb+Patch2, respectively. Tongue strength [anterior: F (2, 42) = 1.467, p = .242; posterior: F (1.41, 24.004) = 0.374, p = .619] and endurance [anterior: F (2, 42) = 3.738, p = .032; posterior: F (2, 34) = 1.399, p = .261] did not differ across conditions. Conclusion: The findings suggest that healthy adults preferred using the bulb+Patch1 rather than a bare bulb or the bulb+Patch2 due to perceived stability of tongue-to-bulb contact. Given that lingual assessments of maximal performance did not differ across the IOPI bulb conditions, the use of a flexible fabric patch when adhered to the bulb may be helpful for positional stability without impacting testing validity.\"","PeriodicalId":77635,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of orofacial myology : official publication of the International Association of Orofacial Myology","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87619528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessment protocols using non-instrumental evaluation of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) in adults with malocclusions are almost nonexistent. Purpose: This scoping review aimed to determine the existence of scientific evidence demonstrating the areas of non-instrumental assessment of OMD in adults with malocclusion. Another purpose was to identify the protocols for assessing the nature of orofacial myofunctional assessments in adults with malocclusion. Methods: An electronic search was performed in the databases: MEDLINE, EBSCOhost, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Health & Medical Collection, Medline, Nursing and Allied Health Database, Common Health Complete, PubMed, Consumer Health, and Health Services: Nursing/Academic Edition, for papers published between 2000 and October 2021. This exhaustive search was conducted using the key search terms: oral myofunctional disorders, orofacial myofunctional disorders, malocclusion, assessment protocols, and adults. The articles were selected for inclusion and analysis by two independent researchers. Results: The search strategy with a list of eligibility criteria resulted in the retrieval of 72 peer-reviewed studies. Only 21 were included in the article since they were related to the assessment areas of OMD due to malocclusion. Out of 21, only three articles included information on OMD assessment protocols for adults. Information on assessments from the articles was extracted and analyzed by the authors. The results of this study indicated that published oromyofunctional assessment protocols, specifically for adults with malocclusion, are limited. Conclusions: Though the availability of valid and reliable protocols is limited, OMD assessments must address various orofacial functions and draw from multiple disciplines to initiate appropriate referrals for improving the quality of life of patients with OMD.","PeriodicalId":77635,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of orofacial myology : official publication of the International Association of Orofacial Myology","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90748873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
