Introduction Myofunctional orofacial examination (MOE) is an important tool for the assessment of the stomatognathic system and orofacial functions, and the early diagnosis of orofacial myofunctional disorders. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to scan the literature and determine the most preferred test for myofunctional orofacial examination. Materials and Methods A literature review was conducted to collect information. Pubmed and ScienceDirect database was explored by using keywords gained by MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Results Fifty-six studies were retrived from the search and all of the studies were screened and evaluated regarding the subject, aim, conclusions and the orofacial myofunctional examination test they used. It has been observed that traditional evaluation and inspection methods have been replaced by newer and methodological approaches in recent years. Conclusions Although the few tests used differ, 'Orofacial Examination Test With Scores’ (OMES) was found to be the most preferred myofunctional orofacial evaluation method from ENT to cardiology.

“…This is particularly relevant among PWID, who are at a higher risk of developing obesity (Melville et al 2007). Lower masticatory efficiency may be associated with increased body fat and the risk of diabetes mellitus (Sánchez-Ayala et al 2013;Tada and Miura 2018;Santos et al 2023;Tominaga et al 2023). This relationship can be attributed to several factors, such as dietary choices (e.g.…”

“…This relationship can be attributed to several factors, such as dietary choices (e.g. preference for soft and carbohydrate-rich foodstuffs) and reduced nutrient absorption, among others (Pedersen et al 2018;Tada and Miura 2018;Santos et al 2023). Therefore, understanding the neuromuscular control of masticatory function is essential for managing health issues in PWID.…”

BackgroundMotor control issues are common for people with intellectual disabilities (PWID), resulting in difficulties with basic activities of daily living, including eating. Mastication, which is crucial for digestion and overall health, is poorly understood in this population. PWID shows frailty similar to older people, highlighting the importance of comparing masticatory motor control with older adults. This study compared the neuromuscular control of the masticatory muscles in middle‐aged, PWID and older adults.MethodsA cross‐sectional analytical design was used. During the mastication task of a carrot piece (2 cm in diameter and weighing 0.5 g), surface electromyography was used to record muscle activity patterns from the right and left masseter and temporalis muscles. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to assess neuromuscular control. A z‐score normalisation of the first component's variance from PCA to identify those individuals with altered neuromuscular control. A mixed ANOVA was performed to assess the interaction between principal components, groups and body composition.ResultsThirty PWIDs (aged 35–55 years), middle‐aged adults and 32 older adults were recruited. PWID and older adults showed decreased neuromuscular control of the masticatory muscles compared to middle‐aged control adults (P < 0.05). PWID had the highest proportion of individuals with altered neuromuscular control of the masticatory muscle (53%) compared to older adults (19%) and middle‐aged adults (0%) (P < 0.05).ConclusionsOur results indicate that PWID and older adults have reduced neuromuscular control compared to middle‐aged adults. Notably, a significant proportion of the PWID showed altered masticatory muscle control compared to older adults. Further research is needed to explore the potential benefits of masticatory muscle training for PWID.
