Affections of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to imbalances and disfuntions named temporomandibular desorders (TMDs). Elderly people with TMDs are experiencing more severe phenomena due to instability centric relationship, edentation, hypotonia, and cranio-mandibular malrelations, neurologic and chronic diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the anti-inflamatory treatment followed by prosthetic, estethic and gnathologic treatment in elderly. This is a prospective study, based on data obtained from 410 elderly people, 74 female and 33 male gender subjects. In the studied group we found a high prevalence of pain (42.99%) and articular affectation (25.23%) which is due both to the grade of edentation and to complications of it, also the muscular affectation, headache, modification of the cranial-mandibular relations, psychological affectation. The prevalence of depressive manifestations was high (35.51%) and after the ibuprofen treatment in association with prosthetic treatment was completed decreased (at 23.36%) in the elderly subjects. In conclusion, the anti-inflamatory treatment followed by prosthetic treatment and also esthetical one determined the improved outcomes of the TMDs in elderly patients, not only in terms of pain and depression but also clinically, meaning at the TMJ function and in all the intraoral and facial as

1. Six elderly (66-71 years) and six young (20-23 years) subjects (half of each group women) were cooled for 2 h in moving air at 18°C to investigate possible causes of increased mortality from arterial thrombosis among elderly people in cold weather. Compared with thermoneutral control experiments, skin temperature (trunk) fell from 35.5 to 29.5°C, with little change in core temperature. 2. Erythrocyte count rose in the cold from 4.29 to 4.69 × 1012/l, without a change in mean corpuscular volume, indicating a 14% or 438 ml decline in plasma volume; increased excretion of water, Na+ and K+ accounted for loss of only 179 ml of extracellular water. 3. Plasma cholesterol and fibrinogen concentrations rose in the elderly subjects from 4.9 mmol/l and 2.97 g/l (control) to 5.45 mmol/l and 3.39 g/l in the cold, and in the young subjects from 3.33 mmol/l and 1.84 g/l (control) to 3.77 mmol/l and 2.07 g/l in the cold. Increases were significant for the elderly subjects, the young subjects and the group as a whole, except for cholesterol in the young subjects, and all were close to those expected from the fall in plasma volume. 4. Plasma levels of Protein C and factor X did not increase significantly in the cold in the elderly subjects, young subjects, or the group as a whole. 5. The results suggest that loss of plasma fluid in the cold concentrates major risk factors for arterial thrombosis, while small molecules, including protective Protein C, redistribute to interstitial fluid.
