The Relationship

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has a very important role in the function of mastication, swallowing and talking.During the process of chewing, this joint sustains a large amount of stress. Some complex excessive pressure on thejoints can cause structural damage to the joints or interfere with the normal function of the relationship betweencondyle, discus and eminence that will result in pain and dysfunction. This study aimed to determine the frequencyrepresentation of TMJ dysfunction in 6-13 years-old children. Descriptive study was conducted by survey on studentsof SDN 2 Sengkang-Wajo totaling 297 children, consisting of 157 males and 140 females. The sampling using astratified random sampling, by means of sub-populations forming a relatively homogeneous state of the variables.Results showed that the frequency of TMJ dysfunction with symptoms of pain in the supporting muscles TMJ washigher (87.34%) compared to other symptoms, followed by symptoms of mouth opening limitation (62.02%), clicking(43.03%), deflection (21.51%), mouth opening deviation (16.45%), and crepitation (5.06%). Based on the prevalence,many students of SDN 2 Sengkang suffering from dysfunction TMJ with a variety of symptoms due to low levels ofdental and oral hygiene due to lack UKGS in school.

The report describes the treatment of a 30 year old female patient having unilateral right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) bony ankylosis whose mouth opening was restricted to 5 mm and had additional mandibular retrognathism causing severe mastication problems besides speech difficulties and low morale. The ankylosis had resulted in facial asymmetry due to bony hard swelling in front of right tragus. The patient was taken up for right interpositional arthroplasty with temporalis myofascial flap reconstruction by pre auricular approach and left coronoidectomy by intraoral approach as a preferred technique. A satisfactory mouth opening of 33 mm was achieved in immediate post-operative. Patient was followed up with aggressive mouth opening exercises in postoperative period.

Maximal Mouth Opening

This retrospective study investigated the effects of combining manual therapy and acupuncture on the pain and maximal mouth opening (MMO), which were associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD). The 49 TMD patients (15 men, 34 women; mean age = 30.47 years, SD = 13.52 years) were treated with a combination of acupuncture and manual therapy two or three times a week at the hospital. The pain and maximal mouth opening were assessed before and after 1 and 4 weeks of treatment. The combination therapy produced significant changes in pain levels ( p < 0.001) and mouth opening ( p < 0.001). All pairwise non-parametric comparison showed a significant improvement in pain ( p < 0.05 for all pairs) and MMO ( p < 0.05 for all pairs). These findings suggest that combining manual therapy and acupuncture decreases the pain level and increases the MMO of TMD patients. However, future studies should further investigate the efficacy of combined treatment on TMD with more rigorous randomized clinical trials.

Joint Ankylosis

Pseudoankylosis is a rare condition that causes inability to open the mouth due to condition related to outside of the temporomandibular joint. Most literature refers to this hypomobility disorder, a result of fusion of the zygomatic bone to the coronoid process, and very rarely is insidious coronoid hyperplasia causing mechanical interference with the posterior maxilla has been reported. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman, who presented with coronoid malformation and overgrowth resulting in progressive decrease in mouth opening. She was managed with coronoidectomy, following which good mouth opening was obtained. In this paper we discuss about the diagnosis and management of this rare disorder.

Background: Temporomandibular Joint (TJ) pain and orofacial myalgia (OM) are the most significant problems in physiotherapy context to treat in Cervicofacial burn (CB). However, there is a lack of clinical studies in investigating the effects of electro acupuncture therapy on TJ pain with OM following post healed CB patients.<br/> Objective: To investigate the effects of clinical and functional efficacy of electro acupuncture therapy on temporomandibular joint pain with orofacial myalgia following post healed cervicofacial burn patients.<br/> Methods: Through two block random sampling method, the eligible participants were randomized and allocated into active EAT (Active-EAT; n = 15) and placebo EAT (Placebo-EAT; n = 15) groups. The Active-EAT group received electro acupuncture therapy and the Placebo-EAT group received placebo effect with regular physiotherapy care for 4 times in a week for 4 weeks. Primary (pain intensity, pain threshold, pain frequency) and secondary (mouth opening, disability level and quality of life) measures were measured at baseline, after the 4th week, 8th week and 6 month follow up.<br/> Results: Baseline demographic and clinical attributes show homogenous presentation among the study groups (p > 0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, and at the end of 6 months follow up, the pain intensity, 3.0 (CI 95% 2.83 to 3.16), pain threshold 18.6 (CI 95% -35.0 to -2.1), pain frequency 2.9 (CI 95% 2.54 to 3.25), mouth opening, -13.4 (CI 95% -15.1 to -11.6), disability level 12.4 (CI 95% 12.16 to 12.63), and quality of life -25.8 (CI 95% -31.0 to -20.5) showed more improvement (p < 0.001) in Active-EAT group than Placebo-EAT group.<br/> Conclusion: The reports of this study proved that, 4 weeks active electro acupuncture therapy with regular physiotherapy care has an ideal treatment protocol for temporomandibular joint pain with orofacial myalgia following post healed cervicofacial burn. This study also provided a new knowledge for physiotherapists in the field of TJ rehabilitation.
