Abstract Background Since in children and adolescence prevalence is assessed mainly on self‐reported or proxy‐reported signs symptoms; there a need to develop more comprehensive standardised process for the collection of clinical information diagnosis TMD these populations. Objective To new instruments adapt diagnostic criteria temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) evaluation adolescents. Method A modified Delphi method was used seek international consensus among experts. Fourteen clinicians...
The main problem encountered when applying remote sensing and geographic information systems techniques for wildfire risk assessment is the necessity to integrate different data sources. methods applied so far are usually based on regression or coefficients relying experts' knowledge. Hence fire managers seeking an unbiased statistical model able highlight multivariate spatial relationships between predictor variables, yielding understandable output readily accessible end users. present...
Background and Objectives: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs) are associated with pain reduced jaw mobility. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome patients TMJ arthralgia when submitted four different treatment modalities, in some cases using intra-articular injections substances anti-inflammatory properties others, a more conservative approach consisting only bite splint. Materials Methods: sample made up 80 patients, randomly distributed into 4 groups 20 each. Each...
Abstract Purpose The Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) concept was the basis for developing a smartphone application on‐time report of awake bruxism (AB) activities. This study aims to monitor AB over time in population healthy young adults. Methods A adults recruited among dental students good general health recruited. All answered questionnaire, including Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC‐1). They were then monitored with during seven consecutive days and completed three further observation...
Unlike the psychosocial assessment established for adults in Diagnostic Criteria Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), a standardised children and adolescents with TMD complaints has not yet been established.To develop new instrument set to assess functioning by adapting status pain-related disability (Axis II) of adult DC/TMD including instruments.A modified Delphi method was used survey 23 international experts four psychological factors consensus regarding tools adolescents. The reviewed...
Wind speed prediction has received reasonable attention recently because of its clean and promising source renewable energy. Recent studies have shown that developing efficient model to predict wind is a challenging task nonlinear stochastic characteristics. This paper aims propose new hybrid speed. For this purpose, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Phase Space Reconstruction (PSR) chaos theory, Aquila Optimization Algorithm (AOA) Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) are hybridised novel...
The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) use in adults is worldwide. Until now, no version of this instrument adolescents has been proposed.To present comprehensive and short-form adaptations the adult DC/TMD that are appropriate with clinical research settings.International experts TMDs pain psychology participated a Delphi process to identify ways adapting protocol physical psychosocial assessment adolescents.The proposed adaptation defines adolescence as ages 10-19...

Objective aim of this study was to present comprehensive and short‐form adaptations Axis I II the DC/TMD adults that appropriate with clinical research settings. Methods Global Delphi studies experts TMDs pain psychology identified ways adapting children. Results proposed is suitable aged 6–9 years. Proposed changes...
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) are pathologies based on multifactorial etiology and a biopsychosocial model, where anxiety becomes one of the most important psychological factors as it is frequent symptom presented in population at some point life. Taking into account need for multidisciplinary approach, we set out to evaluate possible impact orofacial pain patients’ quality In this study, sample FROM Medical School University Coimbra (Portugal) was evaluated using two tools: Diagnostic...
In the definition of an occlusal scheme, clinicians should choose between conventional and computerised methods based on a careful appraise advantages limitations. This study aims to assess correlation two approaches in clinical setting.Twenty-four patients were included compare different contacts assessment posterior surfaces flat mandibular appliances. supine position, they asked clench with maximum strength, intercuspation position 24 μm articulating paper positioned teeth appliance...
Structured Abstract Introduction Planning successful treatment for the correction of anatomic abnormalities upper airways, by surgical advancement mandible, depends on extensive knowledge pharyngeal airway space ( PAS ). However, there is limited scientific evidence about changes in after mandibular surgery. Aim To evaluate immediate superior posterior SPAS ) Class II patients, Materials and Methods A cephalometric evaluation 37 patients with skeletal deformity was performed at 2 distinct...
Temporomandibular joint disorders are associated with pain and reduced jaw mobility. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term effect on intra-articular TMJ injections betamethasone, sodium hyaluronate platelet-rich plasma. sample made up 114 patients, who were randomly distributed into three groups at least years ago achieved a total remission after treatment. We found that median number months without was, according each group, as follows: plasma: 33; hyaluronate: 28;...
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the interaction between sustainability of European social model and Union's revised Lisbon Strategy its focus on jobs growth. The success this strategy – following five‐year mid‐term review in 2005 depends attempts renew competitiveness through, for example, innovation life‐long learning well‐designed reforms model. Design/methodology/approach reviews evolution sets out broader context policy competitiveness. It provides backdrop discussions linking...
Il crescente numero di incendi richiede una organizzazione difensiva piu attenta alla prevenzione, affidando un ruolo fondamentale agli strumenti indagine territoriale, che possono aiutare ad individuare linee tendenza e concentrazione del fenomeno, a interpretarne la dinamica le motivazioni impostare efficaci azioni previsione rischio. Fondamentale appare l’impiego tecniche investigazione consentono definire distribuzione spaziale degli eventi sul territorio, agevolando l’interpretazione...
Objective: This study aims to determine whether changes in dental occlusion are correlated body posture during walking and running.Methods: Fifteen healthy subjects were assessed by a prosthodontist deemed asymptomatic. Analyses of gait running performed three conditions, random order: a) occlusal splint; b) placebo c) no splint. The splint used this positioned the mandible stable position. Kinematic data was collected using 3D motion capture system.Results: Changes induced splints did not...
Background Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a generic term applied to describe musculoskeletal disorders that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and related structures. TMD comprises two groups of disorders, namely intra-articular muscle disorders. There still difficulty in establishing effectiveness different therapeutic modalities for with robust evidence, despite large volume publications area. The lack outcomes standardization may represent limiting factor...
