A Study of the Relationship of Maximal Perioral Muscle Pressure to Tonic Resting Pressure Using a Pneumohydraulic Capillary Infusion System
by Erwin C. Lubit, Mark A. Wallach and Ronald Schwalb

Abstract
The tonic (resting) and peak (maximum) lip pressures of 100 subjects were measured. The purpose was to evaluate the validity of the assumption that high peak pressures are indicative of high tonic pressures and vice versa. This paper describes the equipment and techniques [...] Read more.
The tonic (resting) and peak (maximum) lip pressures of 100 subjects were measured. The purpose was to evaluate the validity of the assumption that high peak pressures are indicative of high tonic pressures and vice versa. This paper describes the equipment and techniques devised to test these pressures. The results showed no statistically significant relationship whatsoever between tonic and peak lip pressures. We, therefore, suggest that maximum lip pressures not be used as a diagnostic aid in orthodontics. Full article

The Long Face Syndrome and Impairment of the Nasopharyngeal Airway
by Luc P.M. Tourne
Int. J. Orofac. Myol. Myofunct. Ther. 1990, 16(3), 2-10; https://doi.org/10.52010/ijom.1990.16.3.1 - 1 Nov 1990

Abstract
Experimental evidence suggests that altered muscular function can influence craniofacial morphology. The switch from a nasal to an oronasal breathing pattern includes functional adaptations that include an increase in total anterior face height and vertical development of the lower anterior face. While some [...] Read more.
Experimental evidence suggests that altered muscular function can influence craniofacial morphology. The switch from a nasal to an oronasal breathing pattern includes functional adaptations that include an increase in total anterior face height and vertical development of the lower anterior face. While some animal studies have suggested predictable growth pat­terns may occur, studies in human subjects have been much more controversial. Therefore, individual variations in response should be expected from the alteration of a long face syndrome patient's breathing mode. Full article
