title: [Muscle function therapy of the orofacial area].
abstract: Many disabilities, motorial disorders, tics, behaviour disturbances, habits, greater or smaller dysfunctions in the oral system and speech and voice damages concern the paediatrician in his daily practice. Very often these problems appear in combination or together with other pathologies, sometimes within difficult complex diseases. Different symptoms are mentioned helpful to the paediatrician. Often must be used diagnosis and therapy of different branches in a connected team-work. The demonstrated conception of the myofunctional therapy in the oro-facial system developed by the two authors, has to be seen in this respect. This conception has been tested on patients with dysgnathias, dyslalias and the two oro-facial dysfunctions deviate swallowing and habitual mouthbreathing. Characteristic features of this conception, its sources, its elements, its course, its methodical principles and its position in a paediatric complex therapy are demonstrated.
