Introduction: I thought I might try and follow the precedent set by Richard Barrett in the November 1988 issue of the IJOM. He wrote of the early development of myofunctional therapy, with a charm which can only emanate from a man with a rare combination of talent, and the ability to be self-critical. For my part I thought it might interest readers to have the views of a foreigner from outside the specialty, who to some extent could stand back from the controversies which have arisen in the U.S.A.

Introduction: In the past, most efforts aimed at treating internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) have involved nonsurgical modalities and/or conventional open surgical procedures (i.e. arthrotomy). Common nonsurgical methods include physical therapy, bite splint appliances, anti-inflammatory medications and patient education regarding potentially destructive habits such as clenching and bruxing. If these methods failed to yield symptomatic and functional improvement, open arthrotomy of the joint was often proposed. These procedures consist of disk repositioning, arthroplasty, meniscectomy with and without implants and other treatments (AAOMS, 1984). The purpose of this article is to describe TMJ arthroscopy: a useful alternative to open surgery for the diagnosis and treatment of intracapsular TMJ pathology. Full article

Summary. Macroglossia is a multifactorial condition that is almost always associated with a space-occupying mass of the tongue. The usual treatment is surgical resection. The typical medical conditions that lead to macroglossia have been described. The orofacial myologist should be alert to the presence of possible pathology of the tongue during orofacial examination, and refer suspected instances of macroglossia to an appropriate medical resource for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
