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.

Points Of View

Aim.The study was conducted to analyze the sources of literature on the etiology and pathogenesis of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) with the reflection of the most urgent and unresolved problems.Materials and methods.A study of Russian and foreign literature of recent years in the databases of RINC, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed was conducted.Results.It was revealed that the issue of the etiology and pathogenesis of the TMJD remains open. There are different points of view on the etiology and pathogenesis of this pathology which allow many researchers to not only study the various causes of this pathology known to date but also to work towards finding new etiological factors. The polyetiology of the TMJD explains not only complexity but also requires complex diagnosis and treatment of this pathology.Conclusion.Despite the diversity of views on the etiology and pathogenesis of the TMJ, a number of issues remain that require detailed study. Obviously, it is necessary not only to improve the available methods of diagnosis and treatment but also to develop new methods based on the available various modern views on the problem of the etiology and pathogenesis of the TMJD.

Case Presentations

A model for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction and facial pain in children is presented. Emphasis is placed on systematic assessment of physical, psychologic, and behavioral factors when conservative medical therapy is inadequate for symptom relief. The model represents a multidisciplinary approach to patient care which is described through case presentations. The results of research on the incidence of primary psychopathology in 53 children and 322 adults evaluated during a 3-year period for temporomandibular joint dysfunction and facial pain are also presented. It was found that children were more likely to be psychiatrically impaired (25%) than adults (7%). Children had a variety of psychiatric diagnoses including depression, conversion and adjustment disorders, overanxious behavior, and anorexia nervosa. The benefits of a multidisciplinary approach are discussed in terms of the efficacy of this coordinated treatment effort in ameliorating symptoms.

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.
