摘要:

AbstractThis paper provides a method to evaluate the extent of permanent injury to the temporomandibular joint. The authors, working as the Committee on Permanent Impairment for the American Academy of Head, Facial, Neck Pain and TMJ Orthopedics, have used the same values as the American Medical Association has used in theirGuides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairmentfor other disk-protected and functional joints. TheseGuidesmay then serve as a tool to help physicians and dentists who treat temporomandibular joint injuries to rate the degree of permanent injury. TheseGuidesmay be combined with other areas of impairment that are already described and valued in theGuides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairmentpublished by the AMA. TheseGuidesprovide a range and each injury should be evaluated on an individual basis. We urge you to use theseGuidesconservatively and in harmony with good clinical judgment.

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this investigation was to study the anatomy of the articular eminence of the temporomandibular joint. Direct angulation measurements of the lateral and midpoint inclined planes were made in 100 adult Asiatic Indian skulls using a headholder (craniophore) apparatus. The results showed that left and right side measurements did not differ significantly. The mean angulation of the midpoint inclined plane was significantly greater than that of the lateral inclined plane. The mean lateral inclined plane was 41.2°±10.7°, with a range of 20°-72°; at the midpoint inclined plane, the mean was 54.2°±11.4°, with a range of 17°-77°. Three morphologic articular eminence types were identified: (1) protuberant, (2) moderate, and (3) flat. These findings need to be considered when making clinical correlations.

摘要:

AbstractArthroscopic surgery of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is now commonly employed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Literature regarding the rehabilitation of patients who have undergone therapeutic anthroscopy is essentially nonexistent. This article presents basic rehabilitation principles based on the authors' experience in the postoperative care of 100 TMJs treated anthroscopically over a two-year period.

摘要:

AbstractCraniomandibular pain dysfunction (CMPD) is of increasing clinical concern to all fields of dentistry, especially orthodontics. One of the more common manifestations of CMPD is anterior disk displacement. Orthodontic/orthopedic treatment for anterior disk displacement using anterior repositioning of the mandible has been suggested by several clinicians as the treatment of choice. Returning the mandible back toward the original occlusion or habit centric has also been suggested by several reports. Functional jaw orthopedic (FJO) appliances would appear to be ideally suited for the treatment of anterior disk displacement due to the anterior repositioning nature of these appliances. In growing individuals, among other changes, the condyle is supposed to grow back into the fossa (which would serve as the walkback procedure). This article presents three young patients who had anterior disk displacement and posterior condylar displacement before treatment. Each patient was treated using a functional appliance and each patient ended treatment still having a posterior condylar displacement and anterior disk displacement. These findings were unexpected and no explanation is offered. This occurrence is rare in the author's practice (approximately 2–3%), but this is a real concern and the patients should be made aware of this possibility before starting treatment, so that their expectations are realistic. These enigmatic findings also emphasize the complexity of TMJ as well as FJO treatment and indicate the need for further research and study.

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of craniomandibular disorders in a geriatric population in Israel, and to study morphometric and functional parameters as well. One hundred ten elderly subjects (61–90 years old) were interviewed and examined clinically for the following parameters: general health history, dental comfort and masticatory performance, anthropometric measurements, functional performance of the stomatognathic system, dental status, static and dynamic occlusion, and signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders. The results indicate that (1) loss of hearing was the most common debilitating functional disturbance reported, with rheumatoid or rheumatoid-like chronic diseases also common among this age group; (2) chewing performance was compromised and tongue thrust was common; (3) range of mandibular movement was decreased; (4) prevalence of signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders in the elderly were compatible with or higher than those in younger subjects, but the older individuals were not disturbed by the problem enough to seek help; (5) there was no association between impaired general health and the prevalence of craniomandibular disorders; and (6) interocclusal distance was large and negatively related to the lower third of the face and positively related to the presence of full dentures.

摘要:

AbstractThe research and clinical literature on biofeedback treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is devoid of normative or comparative electromyographic (EMG) studies examining muscle activity in either patient or normal samples. For the present study, resting EMG levels for each masseter and temporalis were obtained from three groups of subjects: asymptomatic (female,N= 24, mean age = 26.4); subclinical (female,N= 31, mean age = 28.6); and patient (N= 61, female 70%, mean age = 31.9). A Biocomp 2001 biofeedback system was used to gather the EMG data from each of the four sites during a six- to eight-minute resting baseline period. The patient group demonstrated significantly higher EMG activity than the asymptomatic or subclinical groups for all variables except the right masseter (F (8,220) = 6.65, p<0.001). The temporalis was found to be the site of greatest EMG activity more frequently than the masseter. These findings strengthen diagnostic and assessment procedures and criteria, as well as suggest alternate treatment and research protocols.
