Abstract

The orofacial region is a common area of different specialties. It was denominated stomatognathic system for a long while. After detailed analysis of the complex number of tissues and organs and after considering the totality of the anatomical and functional elements, researchers have reached the conclusion that the name stomatognathic system is insufficient. That’s why currently, with wider and more modern criteria, it is now called cranial-cervical orofacial system (Moyano).
