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...
ABSTRACT Objective This study investigated self‐reported symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, mandibular functional impairment, and obstructive sleep apnea among Dutch adults with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Materials Methods A cross‐sectional online survey was distributed Possible risk factors for disorders (3Q/TMD; DC/TMD), impairments (Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire), (STOP‐Bang) were explored using univariate multiple regression analyses. Results 31% 155 respondents...
We performed a study in patients with proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) to determine the prevalence of reduced maximal mouth opening (MMO) and its association dysphagia as reflection bulbar dysfunction visualized underlying mechanisms using MRI.We cross-sectional MMO 145 SMA types 1-4 119 healthy controls used MRI 12 visualize mandibular condylar shape sliding anatomy muscle groups relevant for closing. analyzed associations severity complaints dysphagia.Reduced was defined an...
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...
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...
To explore the variability of tooth wear progression at surface-, tooth- and patient-level over a period three years using in vivo 3D-measurements full dentitions amongst patients with moderate to severe without demand for restorative rehabilitation.Fifty-five eligible had intra-oral scans taken either 3 M True Definition Intraoral Scanner or Lava Chairside Oral Scanner. The maximum height loss (µm) per cusp/incisal/palatal surface unrestored surfaces was measured 3D Wear Analysis...
Background: Hereditary proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by abnormal alpha motor neuron function in brainstem and cord. Bulbar dysfunction, including limited mouth opening, present the majority of patients with SMA but it unknown if how these problems change during disease course. Objective: In this prospective, observational, longitudinal natural history study we aimed to bulbar dysfunction types 2 3. Methods: We included 44 3 (mean age was 33.6 (95% CI 28.4;38.9)...
In a cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine (1) the effect of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 2 and 3 on mandibular function reflected as masticatory performance, range motion, bite force (2) predictors dysfunction.Sixty patients with SMA (mean age 32.3 years, SD 17.4 years) 60 age-matched controls filled out questionnaires about impairments function. All participants underwent detailed clinical examination document motion including maximal mouth opening, force, function.All...
Summary The choice of approach for diagnosing temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) anterior disc displacement with reduction ADDR ), viz. functional examination or imaging, is debatable and complicated by findings low agreement between these approaches. Our aim was to investigate the validity diagnostics using clinical opto‐electronic mandibular movement recordings versus magnetic resonance imaging MRI ). 53 participants (32 women 21 men, mean age ± s.d. 28·7 10·1 years) underwent a examination,...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients report masticatory problems. The aim was to determine the efficacy of mastication training in using chewing gum for 4 weeks. In all, 17 and healthy age-matched males participated. performance assessed a mixing ability test measuring anterior bite force before, shortly after 1 month training. patient group improved remained 1-month follow-up, no significant changes maximum observed subject increased at follow-up; differences were observed. Mastication by...
Summary Background Sleep bruxism is a phenomenon associated with masticatory muscle hyperactivity. While stretching of limb and trunk muscles has been extensively studied for musculoskeletal disorders, little known about the effectiveness in management bruxism. Objective The aim this study to determine sleep Methods Twenty four pain‐free individuals were randomly assigned either an intervention group or control group. Both groups given hygiene advice additionally received muscle‐stretching...
Abstract Background The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) are used worldwide in adults. Until now, no adaptation use children has been proposed. 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...
summary Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) hypermobility is noted only when it interferes with smooth mandibular movements. These interferences (viz. clicking sounds and jerky movements) result from condylar dislocation in front of the eminence at wide mouth opening, or alternatively articular disc (posterior displacement). The aim this study was to test hypothesis that condyles hypermobile persons are positioned more anterosuperiorly crest during maximum opening than those without TMJ...
Summary Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy ( DMD ) experience negative effects upon feeding and oral health. We aimed to determine whether the mandibular range of motion in is impaired explore predictive factors for active maximum mouth opening aMMO ). 23 patients (mean age 16·7 ± 7·7 years) controls were assessed using a questionnaire about function impairments. All participants underwent clinical examination masticatory system, including measurement variables related movements. In...
Quantitative wear measurement is of increasing interest for measuring tooth progression. However, most research on quantitative has focused simulated or scanned gypsum casts. A 3D Wear Analysis (3DWA) protocol been developed that analyzes in vivo through intra-oral scanners available to dental clinicians. This study investigated the precision 3DWA maximum height loss (mm) and volume change (mm3). Observational prospective data from 55 patients were analyzed after 0-1-, 0-3-, 0-5-year...
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the oral health‐related quality of life and its possible risk factors among adults with Osteogenesis Imperfecta using Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)‐49 questionnaire. Secondary objectives were to investigate impact self‐reported Imperfecta, Dentinogenesis age on various dental parameters. Materials Methods A cross‐sectional questionnaire was distributed online 417 Dutch at three national referral centers. Multivariate linear regression performed identify...
