Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using Low level laser therapy / Infrared led therapy with anterior repositioning appliance in anterior dislocation patients with reduction (ADDwR) concerning: 1. Range of mandibular motion 2. Helkimo questioner to evaluate : A -TMJ function B -Muscle pain C -TMJ pain D - Pain on movement of the mandible Four groups created randomly each 10 patients as following:- Group 1: anterior repositioning appliance followed by Infra-red LED therapy Group 2: Infra-red LED therapy followed by anterior repositioning appliance Group 3: anterior repositioning appliance followed by Low level Laser therapy Group4: Low level Laser therapy followed by anterior repositioning appliance Evaluation was done through the following methods Clinical examination: 1. A detailed questionnaire by the examiner was recorded for each patient including: personal data, chief complaint, medical as well as past dental histories 2. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for each patient, the clinical diagnosis of disc displacement with reduction confirmed by MRI. 3. Maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO):was measured by Vernier caliper in millimetres (mm) as the vertical distance between the incisal edges of maxillary and mandibular central incisors. 4. Range of lateral mandibular excursions was also measured using Vernier caliper in millimetres as the horizontal distance extending from maxillary midline to mandibular midline. This was measured by asking the patient to move the mandible to one side then to the other side to the maximum extent. 5. Helkimos clinical dysfunction scale.
The pathogenesis of temporomandibular disorders focusing on the biochemistry of the synovial fluid in various stages of temporomandibular joint disease. The role of inflammation has been investigated and proposed as an underlying mechanism of pain and dysfunction of temporomandibular joint. MESNA (sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate) was approved several years ago and marketed in several formulations as a mucolytic agent in the respiratory field, since it breaks the disulfide bonds between polypeptide chains of mucus. The tissue distribution of MESNA is negligible, and the elimination of the substance is rapidly and completely achieved by kidney
The aim of this study was to evaluate masticatory muscle electrical activity in post-pubertal females with forward head posture (FHP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) as well as in post-pubertal females with neutral head posture and with no temporomandibular disorders.
the study aimed to evaluate the clinical and MRI finding of TMJ AND LPM with predication of the risk factors. Study design: this retrospective study included 1365 joints in 800 patients diagnosed as TMJ internal derangement and all the patients examined by MRI from 2008 to 2019. Cases with loss of continuity of articular disk or the posterior attachment of the disk were considered as positive cases.
This study is aiming to investigate the effect of magnetic therapy in combination with traditional physical therapy on the pain and mouth opening, after facial penetrating wound injury with no facial fractures, that treated conservatively
The aim of this study is to determine whether the cannabinoids taken orally in the form of cannabidiol (CBD oil-a major non-psychoactive component of marijuana) vs placebo (hemp oil) will provide pain relief and improved jaw function in those who suffer from either myofascial pain disorder and/or arthralgia of the temporomandibular region. 1. Primary Objectives To determine if the consumption of CBD oil is superior to placebo for the improvement in jaw pain. 2. Secondary Objectives To determine if the consumption of CBD oil is superior to placebo for the improvement in function of the temporomandibular joint. 3. Exploratory Objectives To determine if there are any adverse effects that result from the consumption of CBD oil or placebo.
