Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a chronic disease of various etiologies. Correct TMD diagnosis enables to apply effective treatment and significantly improves the quality of patients’ lives. One of the diagnostic methods subjected to evaluation in recent years is thermography, which enables safe, noninvasive, and quick imaging of the temperature distribution of temporomandibular joint-associated tissues. This paper, based on Medline, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Academic Search Ultimate, Medline Complete databases, presents basic information related to thermovision imaging and outlines the direction of research conducted in recent years which fight with difficulties in the interpretation of thermograms that require specialized, dedicated analysis and processing of the obtained images. The problem concerns also no standardized protocol for measuring masticatory muscle temperature.

Lack of educational projects in the available literature was an inspiration to develop a psychoeducational program. The objective was to provide patients with basic information on the contribution of stressors in the occurrence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction and educate on methods for coping with stress most commonly used in psychology. In the course of three meetings, patients are familiarised with the issue of experienced stress as a potential source of psychosomatic illnesses (in particular, temporomandibular joint dysfunction). Preliminary patients’ opinions, expressed through self-report methods, indicate significant usefulness of the developed psychoeducational program for the process of treatment and the quality of patients’ lives.

Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive technique that replaces synovial fluid by intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA). Although effective in some joints, there is not conclusive evidence regarding temporomandibular disorders. This case series described the efficacy of a viscosupplementation protocol in intra-articular temporomandibular disorders. Ten patients with a diagnosis of disc displacement and/or osteoarthritis by Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) were submitted to four monthly injections of low or medium molecular weight HA. Pain, mandibular function, image analysis by tomography and magnetic resonance, and quality of life were assessed at baseline and follow-ups (1 and 6 months). Pain, jaw range-of-motion, mandibular function, and quality of life improved at follow-up evaluations. Osteoarthritis changes decreased, and 20% of patients improved mandibular head excursion after treatment. Resolution of effusion and improvement in disc morphology were observed for most patients. This viscosupplementation protocol reduced pain and symptoms associated with internal derangement of temporomandibular joint, improved quality of life, and showed benefits from both low and medium molecular weight HA in alternate cycles.

Considerada uma deficiência funcional de ampla complexidade de sistematização dos sintomas e diagnósticos diferenciais, as disfunções temporomandibulares têm maior prevalência no gênero feminino, variando a faixa etária dos 18 aos 45 anos de idade. Pode estar associada a fatores dentários e/ou faciais, os quais se relacionam com o aparelho estomatognático. É imprescindível a anamnese criteriosa e avaliação física amiudada do sistema manducatório (sistema postural que integra músculos mastigatórios e cervicais) – campo multidisciplinar da odontologia, fonoaudiologia, otorrinolaringologia, neurologia e fisioterapia – para adequada propedêutica e assim, correto diagnóstico e precisa abordagem terapêutica do paciente. Este trabalho apresenta um relato de caso de paciente portadora de Disfunção Temporomandibular com alterações cocleares, diagnosticada, conduzida, tratada e evoluída em disciplina clínica de Estomatologia da Universidade do Estado do Amazonas. A problematização do caso, suas resoluções, e o compartilhamento dessas informações corroboram de modo considerável no aspecto clínico e científico, possibilitando ampliar o reconhecimento das diversas situações possíveis no atendimento aos pacientes com este quadro. Assim, as relações profissional-paciente e a multidisciplinaridade dos profissionais envolvidos ganham crescente relevância.Descritores: Orelha Média; Sistema Estomatognático; Dor de Orelha; Cefaleia.ReferênciasMiraglia SS, Nogueira RP, Monazzi MS, Soares FAV.

We present a case of colorectal cancer with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and discuss the management of the case. Type IIIb temporomandibular disorder involves anterior dislocation of the articular disk, trismus and difficult intubation. A 68-year-old woman was scheduled for colectomy. The day before surgery, the patient had temporomandibular pain. On examination, the mouth opening was 13 mm. We diagnosed type IIIb temporomandibular disorder. A simple splint was fabricated with gauze and she bit it. The mouth opening was 55 mm on the day of surgery. The pain disappeared, and intubation was uneventful. Temporomandibular disorders are generally treated by dentists. It is beneficial for general hospitals without a dentistry department to employ a dental anaesthesiologist to assist in potentially difficult intubations in patients with temporomandibular disorders.

Subject. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is a broad term used for a large number of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint and masseter muscles. Clinical methods for assessing the state of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles are subjective and do not fully assess the degree of impairment. In this regard, M. Helkimo in 1976 proposed an index of dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint to assess the severity of functional disorders, which solves the current problem of determining the degree of dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. The aim of the study was to assess the severity of symptoms of musculo-articular dysfunction in patients with dentoalveolar anomaly using the M. Helkimo method. Methodology. A questionnaire was conducted among patients aged 18―44 years with dentoalveolar anomalies using a questionnaire and a clinical study was carried out according to a single protocol. According to the method, anamnestic, clinical, occlusal indices were determined, and the range of motion of the lower jaw was assessed. When examining the state of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, the presence of crunching, clicks in the joint, pain on palpation was revealed, the trajectory and range of movements of the lower jaw were determined. Results. Our own observations and studies in this matter have shown that the most important indicators are the presence of displacement of the mandible from the posterior contact position to the central occlusion and articulation disorders, which, in turn, can serve as early precursors of the onset of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Conclusions. The M. Helkimo method allows the dentist to assess the degree of dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint in a patient with a dentoalveolar anomaly without using additional instrumental diagnostic methods.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of malocclusion with the presence and severity of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in children. Materials and Methods A clinical examination was performed in 87 patients (from 4 to 14 years of age) who attended the dentistry clinics of Universidad del Valle. Results The 77 patients studied had malocclusions; 55 patients had TMD and 67.3% were female. The most frequent symptom of TMD was articular unilateral noise with 33.8%, followed by pain in at least one masticatory muscle with 26%. TMJ pain was observed in 24.7% of the patients. There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence and severity of TMD with type of dentition and transverse malocclusion, respectively. Conclusion The presence of TMD in children with malocclusion presented in a high frequency. TMD depends on the type of dentition and its severity is dependent on transverse malocclusion.
