“…In recent years, the advancement of devices has allowed evaluation of oral functions such as maximum occlusal force, tongue pressure, and lip closure force. As a result, many reports have been made on the effects of oral function on the whole body [8][9][10]. The tongue can be easily considered to have a significant impact on OSA.…”

To investigate the relationship between oral function and respiratory disturbance index (RDI). This has not been reported previously. Sixtyone patients (41 males, 20 females) who were treated for obstructive sleep apnea with an oral appliance were enrolled in this study. Mean age and body mass index were 55.5±12.7 years and 24.4±4.0kg/m2, respectively. Patients were classified into groups based on body mass index (non-obese group, < 25.0kg/m2 and obese group, ≧ 25.0kg/m2) and severity of RDI (mild group, 5 ≤ RDI < 15 and moderate and severe group, RDI ≥15). RDI was measured by in-home (portable) monitoring and oral function was measured as maximum occlusal force, tongue pressure and labial closure force. A significant negative correlation was found between labial closure force and RDI in the total cohort and in non-obese cases (P<0.05). This study suggests that labial closure force may affect sleep-disordered breathing, supporting past reports. Evaluation of labial closure force thus appears very important before treating OSA.

“…The muscle size, occlusal relationship, facial morphology, and functional pain, are considered as the chief components that affect the mag-nitude of MBF 4) . Alterations in the size and quality of muscles of mastication in OSMF individuals have been previously proved [5][6][7] , whereas the influence of these changes on MBF in OSMF individuals has not studied extensively. The present study was undertaken to determine the MBF in OSMF patients before and after treatment with intralesional hyaluronidase and corticosteroids and to compare with that of healthy individuals.…”

Muscles of mastication are replaced by fibrous tissue in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Muscular changes, in the form of dystrophy because of muscular over activity is observed in most of the cases of OSMF. One hundred OSMF patients and 25 healthy individuals were included in this study. The patients were categorized into four groups on the basis of mouth opening. For every individual, age, sex, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were documented. Burning sensation, mouth opening, maximum bite force (MBF) was evaluated among study groups and control group. The OSMF individuals were injected with hyaluronidase 1500 IU mixed in 1.5 ml of dexamethasone and 0.5 ml of lignocaine HCL intralesionally twice a week for one month and control subjects were given placebo capsules and all the parameters were revaluated. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student's independent t-test, Analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test. No significant difference was observed in mean age, mean height, weight, BMI and the presence of the number of intact teeth between controls and OSMF individuals. A significant decrease in anterior MBF in group III and IV and posterior MBF of both sides in groups II, III and IV was noted. After treatment there was a significant improvement in anterior MBF in group III and posterior MBF in groups II and III OSMF patients. It was concluded that, MBF was reduced in patients with OSMF and it is improved in early and moderate cases after intralesional hyaluronidase and corticosteroid therapy.
