The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum bite force in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients. Two hundred women were equally divided into four groups: myogenic TMD, articular mixed TMD and control. measured first molar area, on both sides, two sessions, using an IDDK (Kratos) Model digital dynamometer, adapted oral conditions. Three-way anova, Tukey Pearson correlation tests used for statistical analysis. level significance given when P < or = 0.05. maximal values significantly...
To measure the effect of occlusal splints as an additional treatment on psychological aspects in temporomandibular disorder patients. A randomized controlled trial was performed comprising 60 adults diagnosed with masticatory myofascial pain according Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). The participants were divided equally into 2 groups, which received only counselling (Group 1) or addition to 2). assessments occurred at baseline and 5 months after...
The benefit of the use some intraoral devices in arthrogenous temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients is still unknown. This study assessed effectiveness partial and counseling management with disc displacement reduction (DDWR) arthralgia.A total 60 DDWR arthralgia were randomly divided into three groups: group I (n=20) wore anterior repositioning occlusal splints (ARS); II Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Clenching Suppression System (NTI-tss); III only received for behavioral changes...
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 The antinociceptive effect of BoNT-A have been well documented in animal studies; however, results few but well-designed randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials about efficacy masticatory myofascial pain (MFP) are inconsistent. Therefore, the present randomized, double-blind, trial evaluated patients with refractory MFP. Twenty-eight reduction less than 30% despite conservative treatment and an average intensity > 50 mm on visual analogue scale (VAS) participated. Patients...
ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the main chronic pain that affects face, and it associated with dietary changes due to dysfunction. However, there a scarcity of studies on its impact nutrition vice versa. Objectives To assess compare intake energy nutrients among TMD myalgia asymptomatic women evaluate data according reference intakes (DRI) World Health Organization (WHO) values. Methods In this analytical cross‐sectional study, 84 female subjects were evaluated...
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the efficacy a Low-Level Laser therapy in patients with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) using double-blind design. A sample 20 chief complaint pain divided into myogenous and arthrogenous groups. also on basis treatment rendered: real versus placebo treatment. An 830 nm Ga-Al-As device energy power 4 joules used (OMNILASE, LASERDYNE PTY LTD.) three sessions. To effectiveness laser treatment, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for active range motion (AROM)...
Pain relief and reestablishment of normal jaw function are the main goals conservative management Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) laser therapy part these modalities, although little is known about their real efficacy in controlled studies. This research compared two treatments a sample 18 patients with chronic TMD muscular origin, divided into groups (LASER TENS). Treatment consisted ten sessions, period 30 days. Active range motion...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence stress and anxiety on pressure pain threshold (PPT) masticatory muscles subjective report. Forty-five women, students, with mean age 19.75 years, were divided into two groups: group 1:29 presenting myofascial (MFP), according Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders 2: 16 asymptomatic controls. An electronic algometer registered thresholds four different occasions throughout academic year. To measure levels stress,...
The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence gender and bruxism on maximum bite force. concordance for physical examination between examiners also evaluated. One hundred eighteen individuals, from both genders, bruxists non-bruxists, with an average age 24 years, were selected purpose. For group establishment, every individual submitted a specific (performed by three different examiners). Subjects then divided into four groups according presence bruxism. force measured using...

Summary The aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that treatment with intra‐oral appliances different occlusal designs beneficial in management pain masticatory muscles compared a control group. A total 51 patients were analysed according Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) obtain diagnosis myofascial (MMP). sample then randomly divided into three groups: group I ( n = 21) wore full coverage acrylic stabilisation splint; II 16) an anterior device...
