Filter by:The proposed pilot study is aimed at preliminary characterization of the TMNB injection in 20 healthy volunteers. Assessment of bite-force distribution and surface electromyographic activity of the temporalis and the masseter muscles, at rest and clench, before and after unilateral TMNB injection, will be the primary outcome measures. Post-injection assessments will be performed at 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 2 weeks after the injection. Participants will be surveyed regarding their experience receiving the TMNB injection (secondary outcomes).

Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the US. . Heart blood vessel chronic total occlusions are 100% blockages of the heart vessels. These patients often suffer from chest pain, shortness of breath, and depression. Heart doctors thread special cables from the groin and wrist to the heart and open up these 100% blocked vessels. . This treatment improves symptoms and quality of life. Exercise is very beneficial for health. Previous studies suggest that even a 1000 steps/day increase in daily steps can improve health. But, patients with occluded heart vessels are often inactive because they have chest pain, feeling tired, or are short of breath. It is unknown whether opening these 100% blocked heart vessels will help patients have a more active lifestyle, which is good for health. The goal is to measure the impact of opening these occluded heart vessels on daily exercise in this project. Specifically, the investigators will give a smart watch to patients referred for this treatment. The smart watch will track the patients' daily steps before and after the procedure.
Occlusal prematurity leading to loss of vertical stopping points between teeth can lead to teeth over eruption creating abnormal contact area which favors food accumulation and plaque retention. All these factors can lead to gingival inflammation and bone loss which may be worsen by abnormal occlusal force. Thus, orthodontic evaluation and treatment with periodontic therapy is mandatory to achieve proper treatment. Aim of the work: To evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically between effect of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) followed by orthodontic intrusion versus orthodontic intrusion followed by GTR in treatment of over erupted tooth with angular bone loss
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is closely related to neuromuscular components. A problem occurring in any of these components or parts of the TMJ interferes with the harmonic functioning of the TMJ and invites temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).Management of TMD can be conservative or surgical. Physiotherapy, local steam application, external muscle massage, occlusal adjustment, analgesic and physiotherapeutic medication and splint treatments are the most frequently recommended conservative treatments. Today, occlusal adjustments are made with the help of a prosthetic or orthodontic appliance. With these intraorally used occlusal splints, a balanced occlusal contact is achieved without applying any force to the mandible in the resting position. Occlusal splints are available in different designs and different construction materials. The stabilization splint, which is one of the most frequently used occlusal splints, and the modified Hawley splint are appliances produced from hard materials. However, some researchers have commented that soft splints produced from resilient materials may also be useful in the distribution of excessive force formed in parafunctional habits. While there are studies stating that hard splints provide more successful results than soft splints in functional problems of the chewing system, there are also studies reporting that they have similar efficacy on muscle pain after short-term use. However, there are no studies in the literature that compare their efficacy in short-term and long-term myalgia patients and demonstrate their efficacy using an objective test such as digital occlusion analysis. There was no study on the effectiveness of different splints on the patient's quality of life. It would be appropriate to carry out our study to fill this gap in the literature.The main purpose of this study is to digitally examine and compare the effects of three different treatment methods (medical therapy, medical therapy+soft splint, medical therapy +hard splint) applied to patients diagnosed with facial myalgia after temporomandibular joint examination on the existing occlusion changes.
The aim of this study is to compare two different methods for occlusal analysis of implant - supported prosthesis (T-scan and conventional method with articulating papers) regarding the stresses transmitted to the implants.
Sarcopenia can occur or increase due to sedentary lifestyles, physical inactivity or chronic endocrine and inflammatory disorders, this pathology is much more frequent in older people due to the added risk factors and the fact that the physiological ageing process generates a pro-inflammatory situation and an alteration in the synthesis of hormones and myokines, it has been observed that the loss of strength causes functional deterioration and a significant increase in the person's dependence, reduces their functional status and quality of life, and may increase the risk of falls, thereby increasing mortality. Blood flow restriction (BRR) and focal vibration (FV), which aim to achieve muscular hypertrophy without the need to use high loads or intensities, VF or BFR brings improvements to elderly people with sarcopnoea. The hipotesis of this study is the addition of BFR or VF techniques to training results in greater improvements in circulating myokine concentrations and functional tests than not adding it. This study has the objective to determinate whether biochemical markers in serology are able to correlate with improvements in strength, also to study whether the plasma levels of apelin, myomyostatin and lL6 are modified with entraining, to determine whether plasma levels of apelin, myomyostatin and lL6 are further increased by training associated with VF and/or BFR and evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions in improving functional tests. The methodology of the study is a single-blind, randomised, clinical trial will be conducted. The study population is people over 65 years of age, sedentary, with functional independence and with a state of health that allows them to carry out physical activity. The study is planned as a pilot study and will consist of 30 subjects distributed in: 10 people in the control group (CG), 10 in the experimental vibration group (GE-V) and 10 in the experimental group with restriction (GE-R). The variables to be measured are anthropometric variables, biochemical markers, variables of neuromuscular function, information about fragility and independence, an functionality. The intervention will be a training in the control group, the FV and BFR groups will be 3 times a week, with a warm-up, a main block with aerobic work, strength work and training and coordination work, and finally a return to calm, in the experimental groups the strength work will be carried out with these instruments.
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system and the occlusal analysis mode of the CEREC Omnicam system, which is mainly used for design/ production, using the data recorded at the centric occlusion position. Material-Method: Occlusal recordings were obtained from healthy 20 females and 20 males aged 18-25 at the centric occlusion position. Records were saved as .jpeg format and transferred to Adobe Photoshop CS6 program. Blue, green, and red colors (shown by the same color codes in both systems) representing light, intense and tight contacts, respectively, were evaluated in terms of the pixel counts. For statistical comparison the differences between the systems Independent Sample T-Test and, between the genders, One Sample T- Test were used (α = 0.05).
evaluation of occlusal force distribution was carried out with the aid of T-Scan device (Tekscan Inc., South Boston, MA, USA) for mandibular complete dentures before and after relining with long term soft liner for controlled type 2 diabetic patients.
Patients with peripheral artery disease will be treated with either drug coated balloon catheter, drug coated stent or uncoated stent.
