Myofunctional therapy (MFT) has been reported to be an alternative treatment to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but compliance and long-term outcome in the children were considered as an issue. A prospective study was performed on age-matched children submitted to MFT or to a functional oral device used during sleep (passive MFT) and compared with no-treatment control group. Compliance is a major problem of MFT, and MFT will have to take into consideration the absolute need to have continuous parental involvement in the procedure for pediatric OSA.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is closely related to SARS-CoV and uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as its cellular receptor. In early 2020, reports emerged linking CoV disease 2019 (COVID-19) to olfactory and gustatory disturbances. These disturbances could be attributed to virus-induced damage to olfactory neurons or immune responses, thereby affecting sensory functions.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of manual therapy and exercise therapy on otological symptoms in individuals with temporomandibular disorders.
Methods: A systematic review of clinical trials compared exercise and manual therapy with standard care or placebo/control for individuals with temporomandibular disorders. Otological-related symptoms (tinnitus, earache, ear fullness, vertigo, dizziness, and hypo/hyperacusis) were assessed.
Esthetic Twin Block Approach for Correction of Developing Class II Division 1 Malocclusion of an 11-year-old Female Patient: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: An 11-year-old female patient with developing class II division 1 malocclusion having retrognathic mandible and crowding in the lower arch, horizontal growth pattern, with convex profile, hyperactive mentalis muscle, positive visual treatment objective (VTO) in cervical vertebral maturation indicator (CVMI) stage 4 was planned to be treated using modification of conventional twin block appliance. Though a wide variety of myofunctional appliances like activator, Bionator, and Frankel appliances can be delivered to the patient, twin block appliance being a mechanofunctional appliance is routinely preferred by operators due to simplicity of its design and construction in comparison to other appliances. One of the biggest challenges in management of growing patients with skeletal class II malocclusion is the compliance of patients in wearing the myofunctional appliances.

Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a clinical case involving a 44-year-old woman suffering from erosive tooth wear due to bulimia and bruxism, focusing on restoring her vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) using minimally invasive methods.
- After a period of therapy with a Michigan splint, the patient required full mouth prosthetic rehabilitation, leading to the decision to slightly increase her VDO by 1 mm.
- The treatment included creating thin lithium disilicate ceramic restorations for her teeth, demonstrating that effective and aesthetic restoration can be achieved with minimal invasiveness.
