This first truly global conference on the use of zygomatic implants for the oral reconstruction of patients with compromised or deficient maxillae was held at the Museum of London from 1 to 2 March 2019. It attracted over 200 clinicians and academics from 24 nations and reviewed over 25 years' experience and research in this field. This conference presented concepts heralding new opportunities for the oro-facial rehabilitation of doctor-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), both osteonecrosis radiation-induced (ORN) and medication-induced ONJ (MRONJ) in oncology patients.

Oral Health and Oro-Facial Rehabilitation Laboratory Research LR12ES11, Monastir, Tunisia.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed 13 studies, focusing on two main interventions: procedures for covering buccal soft tissue dehiscence and methods for increasing soft tissue thickness.
  • * The findings showed that the combination of a coronally advanced flap and connective tissue graft was the most effective for covering soft tissue defects, while techniques like connective tissue graft and acellular dermal matrix were good for short-term thickness increase, but long-term results are still uncertain.

Does combining oro-facial manual therapy with bruxism neuroscience education affect pain and function in cases of awake bruxism? A pilot study.

J Oral Rehabil

September 2024

Department Movement and Rehabilitation Science, Faculty of Business, Management and Social Science, Osnabruck, Germany.

Background: Although awake bruxism is associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) as well as head and neck pain, the effects of physical therapy and bruxism education to address these factors have not been investigated.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of oro-facial manual therapy and bruxism neuroscience education (BNE) on awake bruxism over a 3-week period with an open-ended follow-up questionnaire after 3 months.

Methods: Subjects (n = 28) were randomly allocated to one of two groups, an intervention group and a control group.

Introduction: Patients with chronic headaches and chronic oro-facial pain commonly present psychosocial issues that can affect social interactions. A possible reason could be that patients with these disorders might present impairments in facial recognition, laterality judgement and also alexithymia. However, a systematic review summarizing the effects of facial emotion recognition, laterality judgement and alexithymia in individuals with headaches and oro-facial pain is still not available.
