Qualitative And Quantitative Characteristics

The temporomandibular joint is paired, a complex formation of an ellipsoid shape, which is formed by the articular head of the lower jaw, the mandibular fossa and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone, covered with fibrous cartilage. There are two types of movements in the temporomandibular joint: translation and rotation, which implement protrusion-retrusion, right and left mediotrusion, and opening-closing. Computerized axiography is used for assessment of the mandibular movements and the patient’s skeletal parameters. This type of examination allows you to adjust the articulator for an individual function and to study the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the temporomandibular joint.

Underlying Pathology

The temporomandibular joint makes it possible to open and close your mouth, as involving chewing, swallowing, speaking, and yawning activity.  Ankylosis of the Temporomandibular joint which includes partial or complete fusion of the joint with resulting restricted opening of mouth, restricted mandibular movements (hypomobility) with deviation to the affected side on opening of the mouth.  The pathology is multifactorial and restoration of function usually involves surgical intervention and dependence on the exact pathology situated at the root of pons.  It is essential to evaluate the underlying pathology, its degree for proper planning of surgery and follow-up.  3-D CT scan of facial bones provide a reliable and consistent diagnosis and evaluation for temporomandibular joint ankylosis.  Keywords: TMJ, ankylosis, 3-D CT scan, facial asymmetry.

Objective of the study: to develop and assess the occlusal digital splint for treating patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). Material and Methods — 17 patients between the ages of 30 and 49 diagnosed with TMJD were admitted for treatment. To normalize mandibular position, an occlusal digital splint for all patients was manufactured in accordance with our original method. An intensity of pain sensations in all patients prior to, and after, the treatment was assessed by a visual analogue scale, along with the changes in the mandibular movements’ amplitude, and the signs of splint wear and stability of occlusal contacts. Results — Patients have adapted themselves well to the splint and found it convenient in use. The study results showed that it was sufficiently effective in treatment of TMJD. Reduction in pain intensity and restoration of mandibular movements’ amplitude were detected with certainty. Only in 2 (11.7%) cases, the signs of wear on the splint were found, as evidenced by the changes in pre-treatment occlusal contacts. In all other cases throughout the study, a stable occlusal contact has been encountered. Conclusion — Our results indicated that proposed occlusal digital splint may be considered as a treatment option for the patients with TMJ disorders.

Background Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) total replacement with alloplastic prostheses has been performed since 1960s. Research in these last two decades has achieved important improvement in the development of biomaterials, design, adaptation, and fixation of the prosthesis components. Objective To evaluate total TMJ replacement with alloplastic prostheses. Methods We studied 27 patients, between 19 and 73 years old, who had total TMJ uni- or bilateral replacement surgery with custom-made alloplastic prostheses manufactured by TMJ Concepts, Inc. (Ventura, CA) between 1996 and 2011. The general data and preoperative measurements were taken from medical records. Subjective data related to pain, diet consistency, and current quality of life were collected with a questionnaire answered by the patients; measures of maximum interincisal opening and lateral mandibular movements were obtained from direct examination. Results We found significant difference ( p < 0.05) comparing pre- to postoperative results about improvement in mouth opening, pain relief, and satisfaction with the surgery and diet consistency. Conclusion The results of this study show that total alloplastic TMJ prostheses are an efficient, safe, and stable long-term solution for patients who need TMJ total replacement.
