BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is mostly prone to various dysfunctions or abnormalities, even with a slight alteration in its normal function. Dental treatments in particular are known to cause stresses on this joint causing complications such as pain, tenderness, restricted movement, clicking sound etc. It can become severe with time and interfere in the daily living activities and affect the quality of life (QOL). Hence, this study was done to focus on a few common dental conditions to determine their effects on TMJ. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of TMJ dysfunction in dental patients with varying treatment durations. METHODS A total of 130 male and female dental patients who underwent /were undergoing various dental treatments were included, on the basis of age (18 - 45). The total number of samples were collected from 6 categories i.e., endodontic, orthodontic, cleaning / scaling, tooth extraction, filling, multiple treatments. FONSECA’S questionnaire was used as an outcome measure to determine the TMJ dysfunction. RESULTS Based on the assessment of all the 6 categories, major dysfunction was seen in the patients who underwent multiple treatments (86 %) followed by orthodontic (75 %), endodontic (73 %), tooth extraction (70 %), dental tooth filling (65 %) and the least was seen in patients of scaling / cleaning (61 %). CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of TMJ dysfunction has shown significant positive results in dental patients among which 71.5 % of them have shown mild to severe TMJ dysfunction and 29.5 % have shown negative results.

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.

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.

Challenging Situation

<p>Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an uncommon but debilitating condition of the facial skeleton. The condition may be acute or chronic. Acute TMJ dislocation is common in clinical practice and has been managed easily with manual reduction. Chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation is a challenging situation to manage. In this article, we discuss a case referred by the department of oral medicine for conservative management of the recurrent dislocating TMJ. This case was managed conservatively using physical therapy as the first line of management. At the end of the intervention the patient was pain free and had achieved normal function of the TMJ.</p>

The Impact

A review of the literature on the stages of the formation of temporary and permanent occlusion has been performed. This stages play an important role not only for the full development of the maxillofacial apparatus, temporomandibular joint, but also the whole organism. The role of early tooth extraction in the formation of the physiological state of the dentoalveolar system is considered. The conclusion is drawn about the need for a deeper study of this problem in the structure of general dental morbidity.

Background: Adolescents’ quality of life is reported to be significantly associated with physical and social wellbeing. Although adolescents are 30% of the Southern African population, no previous studies have focused on this group in relation to oral health and quality of life. Methods: A 40-item survey and clinical oral examinations were conducted in public schools in Maseru from 10 to 25 August 2016. Simple, bivariate, and multivariate regressions were used to evaluate the associations of oral health and psychosocial factors with self-reported general health status and quality of life. Results: A total of 526 participants, aged 12–19 years old, responded to the survey and participated in the clinical examinations. The majority reported a good (good/very good/excellent) quality of life (84%) and general health (81%). Bivariate results showed that self-reported general health in this population was significantly influenced by age. The presence of toothache and sensitivity in the adolescents were significantly associated with poor (fair/poor) self-reported general health and were found to be the best predictors for self-general health and quality of life. Conclusions: The absence of dental conditions such as toothache and tooth sensitivity can lead to a better perception of general health and Quality of Life in adolescents.
