Message from Chair:
I am delighted to welcome you to IJOM’s first webinar, in celebration of 50 years of publishing! The theme of this webinar is “Paradigm Shifts in Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy”. After a brief history of the journal and a greeting from the International Association of Orofacial Myology President, we will have three featured speakers, each of whom serves as a member of the journal’s Editorial Review Board. They will discuss paradigm shifts in orofacial myology in which they are deeply involved. We hope you find these brief talks informative, stimulating, and inspiring! We welcome your comments and questions after the presentations.
This special event marks a significant milestone for the International Journal of Orofacial Myology and Myofunctional Therapy (IJOM, ISSN: 2694-2526), the official journal of the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM).
