Improving the dietary management of orofacial granulomatosis
Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a rare disfiguring inflammatory disease of the lips, face and oral cavity. The cause is unknown but perhaps involves an allergic component. Management includes immunosuppressant medications or a cinnamon and benzoate free diet which has proven benefit in 72% of …

THE ROLE OF A AND B VITAMINS DURING OROFACIAL DEVELOPMENT OF XENOPUS LAEVIS
Orofacial anomalies make up about a third of the 120,000 birth defects each year in the United States. Children born with these abnormalities must undergo immense physical and emotional strain in order to correct the defects. In fact, about $697 million is spent every year surgically treating …

Evidence of Language Prerequisites in Pan: Orofacial-Motor and Breath Control in Chimpanzees and Bonobos
… skills. Two particularly relevant skills are orofacial-motor control (OFM), the ability to purposefully move one’s facial muscles, and breath control (BC), subglottal air pressure that fuels sound production, as both are necessary in the voluntary production of speech. Many have claimed these …

A Preliminary Investigation into Orofacial Clefts in the Central and Western Regions of Saudi Arabia
… to: (I) measure the prevalence of non-syndromic orofacial cleft (NSOFC) at birth and (II) investigate the genetic and environmental risk factors associated with NSOFC in infants attending government hospitals in the Western and Central Regions of Saudi Arabia. <br/>Material and methods: Two …

Toll-like receptor expression and signalling in rat trigeminal neurons: Consequences for oral infection and mechanisms of orofacial pain.
… of activation of neuronal TLRs in the setting of orofacial pain. A detailed, quantitative description of TLR4, TLR2 and TLR7 expression within neurochemically- identified sub-populations of trigeminal ganglion (TG) sensory neurons suggests that these receptors are primarily expressed by nociceptor …

Accelerating development of treatments for trigeminal neuralgia using intranasal delivery and a novel behavioral screening device for rats.
Orofacial pain disorders are challenging to treat because of poor targeting to the trigeminal, orofacial and brain structures involved. Intranasal administration targets these structures while minimizing systemic exposure and side effects. Lidocaine was intranasally administered to rats, and the …

The role of potassium buffering and apoptosis of trigeminal satellite glial cells in the induction and maintenance of orofacial neuropathic pain in rats
… (SGC) in the maintenance and development of orofacial NP in rats using in vivo and in vitro methodologies. In vivo endpoints were evaluated after performing chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the infraorbital nerve (IoN). NP signs and behavior were evaluated at 5, 10, 20 40 and 80 hours …

Gene Discovery In Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip With Or Without Cleft Palate
… without cleft palate (NSCLP), a common, complex orofacial birth defect that affects approximately 4,000 newborns each year in the United States, is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Orofacial clefts affect the mouth and nose, causing severe deformity of the face, which require …

The Role of MicroRNAs in Craniofacial Development
Cleft palate and orofacial clefts are common congenital anomalies whose etiology results from deficient fusion of the bilateral processes of the first pharyngeal arch and/or the frontonasal process. Craniofacial clefting can result from genetic and teratogenic disruptions affecting the growth and …
