Filter by:This study included 113 patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and 110 healthy volunteers. Participants in both groups were evaluated using the 'Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD)' diagnostic criteria. In addition, the relationship between temporomandibular joint dysfunction and disease activity was investigated in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
The goal of this non-randomized controlled trial is to analyze and compare occlusal force distribution patterns using T-Scan III before and after hydrostatic splint therapy on both healthy subjects and subjects with temporomandibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do occlusal forces for individual teeth differ before and after hydrostatic splint therapy? - Does the percentage distribution of forces across different sectors differ before and after hydrostatic splint therapy? Participants will: - Perform occlusal analysis using the T-Scan III device; - Use a hydrostatic splint for 30 minutes; - Perform a second occlusal analysis after using the hydrostatic splint. Researchers will compare healthy subjects and subjects with temporomandibular disorders to see if hydrostatic splint therapy makes a difference in the distribution patterns of occlusal forces.
The infiltration of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) at the end of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis is already an established procedure in the treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, which aims to eliminate the inflammatory mediators from the inside of the TMJ. PRP is an autologous concentrate of platelets and growth factors, derived from centrifugated blood. Several studies have described the benefits of PRP: it enhances wound healing because of the presence of cytokines and growth factors, and is also stimulates chondrocytes to biosynthesis of collagen. Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic that has been synthesized for use in infiltration anesthesia and to produce both peripheral and central block. Unlike one of its analogues, Bupivacaine, Ropivacaine anesthetize the sensory fibers without affecting the motor ones. The main goal of this investigation is to test the benefits of adding Ropivacaine to the infiltration of PRP in patients submitted to TMJ arthrocentesis.
Arthrocentesis of TMJ then injection of micro fragmented adipose tissue mixed with bone marrow aspirate on healing of TMJ internal disc derangement without reduction.
This study will be conducted to compare between the effect of glutes maximus and glutes medius muscles strength on back muscle performance in patients with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
It is planned to examine the relationship between quality of life in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and the patient's individual, physical and psychosocial characteristics.
This study intended to examine the effect of a physical rehabilitation program incorporating Kinect-based virtual reality on gait characteristics, functional ability, and physical activity level in adolescents with hemophilic knee arthropathy.
A Prospective, Multi-Center, Single-Arm Clinical Trial of the safety and effectiveness of the Aptis PRUJ prosthesis for the treatment of patients with proximal radial ulna joint disorders
Robotic arthroplasty is increasing in acceptance on a global scale as a result of advancements in orthopedic surgery technology. The investigators aimed to share their anesthesia management experience as well as compare robotic unilateral total hip arthroplasty with conventional surgical technique in this retrospective study.
