TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS

OCCLUSAL SPLINT |
| Abstract: |
Temporomandibular disorder is the term that includes all functional disturbances of temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles. This paper deals with one of the most common types of temporomandibular disorders that is articular disc displacement into an anterior position or so called articular disc dislocation. The most common risk factor related to this disorder is trauma. This can be a macrotrauma, such as an impact into the jaw, or microtrauma, which is related to chronic muscle hyperactivity or the occlusal instability. Magnetic resonance imaging is used for noninvasive evaluation of temporomandibular joints and soft tissues. Although irreversible therapeutic means are recommended for temporomandibular disorder treatment, the most common dental treatment is reversible and noninvasive which implies occlusal stabilization splint fabrication. This paper reports a case of a female patient with anterior articular disc displacement of her left temporomandibular joint and the treatment by a stabilization splint in order to obtain functional effi ciency of her masticatory system. |

| Abstract: |
Objective: In addition to the clinical evaluation, it was aimed to assess the traces obtained by computerized axiography of the condylar movements in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in healthy individuals together with disc displacements and staged MRI images of these traces obtained in other joint positions. Material and Methods: 18 cases with muscle disorders (16 women and 2 men with mean ages; 32.06±15.99) and 11 cases (11 women, mean age 25.27 ±10.05) observed to have intraarticular disorders at different degrees as a result of MRI evaluation. The control group consisted of 10 cases (6 women and 4 men with mean ages; 22.20 ±2.39). Computerized axiography recordings of all cases were taken. MRI images taken from the cases with intraarticular disorders were evaluated. Joint sounds and mandibular range of motion were evaluated. Data were analyzed statistically. (Mann Whitney-U, Student t-test, One-way ANOVA and Chi-Square α=0.05). Results: The differences between TMD groups and control groups as regards the degrees of mouth opening movement were insignificant (p=0.27). The difference between the internal derangement and muscle disorder groups regarding TMJ sounds were insignificant (p=0.09). The length of the tracings of the asymptomatic control group as regards TMJs was generally symmetrical and in normal range. The tracings of the muscle disorder group were generally similar to those of the control group, however, the reproducibility of the movement was not as good as that in the control group. The tracings of patients with different stages as diagnosed by MRI were shorter than normal, and deviations on pathways in all cases, and crossings in some, were observed. Conclusion: In addition to careful clinical evaluation, function-based diagnosis techniques and imaging systems were utilised. Bony structures and especially soft tissues of the TMJ can be examined by means of MRI and the relations of the tissues with each other can be evaluated. In the method rendering information about the functional condition of the joint, objective data can be filed and the process of treatment can be evaluated. |

DENTURE, COMPLETE |
| Abstract: |
Control and correction of occlusal relations are a constituent part of clinical and laboratory procedures of complete denture fabrication. Denture materials and fabrication procedures cannot ensure dimensionally correct complete dentures, and therefore it is necessary to check the occlusion. A remount procedure is carried out in order to establish correct occlusal contacts of denture teeth bymounting the finished dentures back on the articulator. There are several reasons for remounting: changed volume of the acrylic resin during polymerisation, dimensional changes in the early days of wearing due to water absorption in the acrylic base and placement of denture bases to the denture foundation area. Remounting startswith fabrication of transfer casts, determination and transfer of interarch relations to the articulator. When the dynamic concept of occlusion is chosen, priority is given to incisor or canine teeth guided occlusion. Remounting should be a constituent part of complete denture fabrication.

| Abstract: |
PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to register and measure lower jaw movements and to analyse the measured length of maximal right and left mediotrusion movement in asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects.MATERIALS AND METHODS. A symptomatic group consisted of 51 subjects with temporomandibular disorders. A control group consisted of 43 subjects without signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders. In the symptomatic group of subjects signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders were crepitation, bruxism, sensitivity, pain in the temporomandibularjoint and muscles, as well as pain and sensitivity in the region surround and anterior to the ear, together with difficulties while opening the mouth. Each subject was registered by the GAMMA CADIAX system for registration of positions and movement of the lower jaw, which consist of a convetional SAM axiograph, electronic device for drawing of curves with a computer.RESULTS. No significant differences were found between the groups of subject for the measured variables. CONCLUSION. The results of the length of the mandibular and condyle movements are important, alhough unreliable indicators of temporomandibular join function. Description analysis of a graphic recording of mandibular and TMJ movement remains a precise evaluation method for determination of TMJ dysfunction. |

| Abstract: |
In vivo test methods using the expensive methods gnathodynamometry for assessing maximum bite-force, revealed objective improvement of retention of maxillary dentures using denture adhesives. Since the introduction of the disposable gnathometer (Procter & Gamble), facilitating simple measurement of bite-force at dislodgement of the denture, it seems relatively easy to measure the maximum bite-force of maxillary dentures. The gnathometer has a scale ranking from 1 to 10. It measures thepressure which a patient can apply to the front teeth until dorsally dislodgement of the maxillary denture. The aim of the present study was to test the intra-examiner reliability of gnathometers. In each of 5university dental clinics (Rotterdam, Groningen, Athens, Gent, and Istanbul) 5 patients who had received a new conventional completemaxillary denture less than one month previously, were selected. These patients had a stable natural dentition or prosthetic appliance in the mandible, e.g. an overdenture attached on natural or implant abutments, a partial natural dentition with a stable partial chromcobalt denture, etc. In the first session the maximum bite-force was measured by one experienced prosthodontist for each patient using three different gnathometers, successively three timeswith each gnathometer. If the result was between 2 ranking points, the lowest was registered. The 9 measurements were conducted with three-minute breaks in order to enable the patient to reposition the dentures comfortably and habitually. One week later at the same time of the day, these measurements were repeated with the same three gnathometers, respectively for each patient, as used in thefirst session. Intra-examiner reliability was very good. Paired sample correlations were 0.91, with overall measurement error of 0.7 on the ranking scale. |

| Abstract: |
The sample consisted of 102 individuals, of which 30 were with normal occlusion, and the rest was classified in 6 groups of orthodontic anomalies. They were of both sexes, mean age was 16.8. The purpose of this study was to analyse the number, intensity and location of occlusal contacts within a group and between the groups, also in relation to the type of the tooth and the examined segment of dental arch. Photoocclusion was used as the main method of analysis, and registration with articulating paper was the control method. The results gave no significant difference in relation to age and sex within the same types of anomaly. The greatest number of occlusal contacts, after that in the group with normal occlusion, was in the group with crowding (16.41), and the lowest number of contacts was in the patients with mandibular prognathism (8.13). Between the groups with different anomalies significant difference has been found in relation to the segment of dental arch, intensity and type of tooth: in molars it was 64-65 kg/mm2 decreasing gradually towards the incisors. |

| Abstract: |
Correct determination of the occlusal plane is important for estetic, phonetic and masticatory function of the denture. As many different criterias are used in clinical practice to determine the occlusal plane on the wax rims, the aim of this study was to find the angle between the occlusal plane and the horizontal plane in the articulators with the quick mounting face bow. The measurements were made on the casts of 30 eugnath individuals with at least 28 natural teeth, mounted in S.A.M. articulator through the transfer with the Quick mounting face bow, in the position of maximum intercuspation. Measurements were made with a precise caliper and were transferred to the calibrated paper. The angles were measured between the occlusal plane and the horizontal plane. The angle is 9.42 degrees +/- 4.1 degrees in the population of this country. This result can be helpful to determine the occlusal plane or to control if the occlusal plane, determined by the other methods is in the correct position in articulator. |

| Abstract: |
Positions of the central relation and central occlusion were intraorally graphically recorded in 100 patients with a stomatognathic system dysfunction and in 0 control subjects. Results of the study showed asymmetry of these two positions to play a major role in the etiology of dysfunction. Occlusal program had an almost two-fold impact on the graphic tracing of the central occlusion position, as compared to the influence exerted by the articulation and muscle on the central relation tracing. Instrumental functional analysis and the instrument used alike, are simple to use and allow an objective assessment of the state to be made. |
