The relationship between dentoskeletal and tongue soft-tissue variables has been quantified in a sample of 60 adult females with normal and anterior open-bite malocclusions. Three lateral rest-position head films were obtained for each subject. A principal component analysis reduced the data base and six significant canonical correlations were identified. The first canonical correlation (r1 = 0.962) represented a size-related correlation factor between the two groups of variables. Subjects with characteristics of a short face syndrome and some evidence of overbite had tongue tips positioned below the lower occlusal plane (r2 = 0.929). In contrast, skeletal open-bite subjects (r4 = 0.759) revealed tongue tips ahead of and above the lower incisor teeth with the mandible in the rest position. Undererupted mandibular teeth (r5 = 0.666) were associated with a reduced tongue height and an inferior epiglottis; short tongue length (r6 = 0.563) correlated with a linear combination of upright central incisors, a small overjet, a low ANS angle, unerupted maxillary and mandibular teeth, and a steep occlusal plane. The multivariate statistical analysis extracted clinically significant associations between tongue soft-tissue and dentoskeletal variables. Tongue posture at rest in skeletal open-bite subjects appeared to be related to incisor position. (AM J ORTHOD 88: 333–341, 1985). Full article

A questionnaire was mailed to a sample of speech pathologists and orthodontists throughout the United States to determine their views on tongue thrust, to discover the sources of those views, and describe the influence they are having on professional practices. The majority of speech pathologists and orthodontists sam­pled favored treatment or referral for some cases of tongue thrust and that speech pathologists and myofunc­tional therapists would be the most likely professionals for treating tongue thrust. The source of these views was most often accredited to professional practice. The majority of professionals sampled reported treating or referring cases of tongue thrust despite the fact that they acknowledged the lack of research evidence to provide them with clear direction for their professional practice.
