Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Acta Radiologica (51)9 2010
Abstract
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) such as pain, joint sounds, and impaired movement are common, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now the method of choice for diagnostic assessment.
To describe MR criteria chosen and the amount of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology registered when examin...

Dental update (37)9 2010
Abstract
This article is concerned with implants that are being used for fixed crown and bridgework rather than removable prostheses. The huge increase in the provision of implants over the past two decades is set to continue. Most of the research is related to avoiding failures in implants. This research, i...

Abstract
This article reports the successful surgical-orthodontic treatment of an elderly patient with dentofacial deformity and signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The patient was a 63-year-old woman with a concave profile due to mandibular protrusion. To correct skeletal deformities, th...

Abstract
A 56-year-old woman was referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon because of facial stiffness and restricted mouth opening, 13 years after receiving multiple mandible fractures in a car accident. After clinical investigation and computer tomography, ankylosis of the right temporomandibular joint...

Abstract
Age-related oral changes are seen in the oral hard and soft tissues as well as in bone, the temporomandibular joints and the oral mucosa. As older patients retain their natural teeth for longer, the clinical picture consists of normal physiological age changes in combination with pathological and ia...

Abstract
We report two cases of unilateral bifid condyles, responsible for functional dysfunction of the TMJ. The first case, probably of congenital origin, was oriented frontally. The second case, oriented in the sagittal plane, was probably post-traumatic. Functional treatment was used for both patients.

Abstract
Benign and malignant tumors in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are rare. However, when a patient presents with clinical findings such as altered occlusion or facial asymmetry, a morphologic alteration in the condyle should be ruled out. The differential diagnosis for benign hyperplastic bony lesio...

Abstract
Postoperative consecutive MR images for all 764 joints confirmed that 95.42% (729/764) of the joints were excellent, 3.14% (24/764) were good, and only 1.44% (11/764) were poor. Repeated arthroscopic surgery or open surgery was carried out for the joints that were evaluated as poor. CONCLUSION: This...

The number of patients reporting a reduction in pain intensity rating was greater during propranolol treatment (P=0.014) compared with placebo. Propranolol significantly reduced a composite pain index (P=0.02) but did not decrease other clinical and experimental pain ratings. When stratified by the...

Abstract
Several works showed a decreased role for occlusion in the etiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Nonetheless, it may be hypothesized that occlusion acts as a modulator through which bruxism activities may cause damage to the stomatognathic structures. To test this hypothesis, a logistic reg...
