This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), are a set of more than 30 health disorders associated with both the temporomandibular joints and the muscles and tissues of the jaw. TMDs have a range of causes and often co-occur with a number of overlapping medical conditions, including headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. TMDs can be transient or long-lasting and may be associated with problems that range from an occasional click of the jaw to severe chronic pain involving the entire orofacial region. Everyday activities, including eating and talking, are often difficult for people with TMDs, and many of them suffer with severe chronic pain due to this condition. Common social activities that most people take for granted, such as smiling, laughing, and kissing, can become unbearable. This dysfunction and pain, and its associated suffering, take a terrible toll on affected individuals, their families, and their friends. Individuals with TMDs often feel stigmatized and invalidated in their experiences by their family, friends, and, often, the health care community. Misjudgments and a failure to understand the nature and depths of TMDs can have severe consequences - more pain and more suffering - for individuals, their families and our society. Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care calls on a number of stakeholders - across medicine, dentistry, and other fields - to improve the health and well-being of individuals with a TMD. This report addresses the current state of knowledge regarding TMD research, education and training, safety and efficacy of clinical treatments of TMDs, and burden and costs associated with TMDs. The recommendations of Temporomandibular Disorders focus on the actions that many organizations and agencies should take to improve TMD research and care and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with a TMD.

This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews and discusses some of these approaches, and some of the controversies aroused by them in the hope that the dental profession will soon arrive at more effective, scientifically based treatments. Health professionals have dealt with temporomandibular disorders, a major cause of non-dental pain in the orofacial region, by developing a broad range of treatments, ranging from occlusal alteration to multidisciplinary care regimens. It is with this background that health practitioners have responded to their patients' needs by developing a broad range of treatments, often determined more by the specialty of the practitioner than by scientifically-based treatment. There are practitioners claiming successful outcomes from a diverse number of treatments ranging from education and behavioral counseling, use of medications, occlusal therapies, surgery and splints, to a combination of various treatments.
Download or read book Temporomandibular Joint Disorders written by Darpan Bhargava and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to provide a crisp and necessary information for all the under-graduate and post-graduate medical students, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, ENT Surgeons, General Surgeons, General Dentists and other health care workers who deal with TMDs in their practise. It includes contributions from eminent surgeons across the world who treat TMJ disorders and diseases using various conventional to modern state of the art techniques. Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are familiar yet difficult to diagnose in routine practice due to the complexity of the joint and its surrounding structures. The symptoms usually associated with TMDs present with pain, joint sounds such as click or crepitus, difficulty during mastication, reduced mouth opening are some of the many presentations. Definite diagnosis of the TMDs can be challenging as the patients present with varying symptoms. These disorders of the joint can vary from a simple disc displacement to complex pathologies. Management of the TMDs can be tricky and hence need a thorough evaluation of the joint and surrounding structures. There has been a tremendous leap in managing these disorders from simple conservative management to several advanced surgeries to salvage the joint. This compilation highlights all the relevant details regarding TMDs and its management which will offer utmost details to practising surgeons who often deal with TMDs. This book will be a delight to read for all the clinicians and surgeons who are interested in treating the small yet complex jaw joint in the facial region.
Download or read book Masticatory Muscles Activities in Temporomandibular Joint Internal Derangement written by Chantal M. Lafrenière and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 1995 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intramuscular EMG of the lateral pterygoid muscles, surface EMG of the temporalis and masseter muscles, electrogoniometry and force measurements of the TMJ were synchronously used to investigate the biomechanical role of the two portions of the lateral pterygoid muscle in relation to internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This study dealt with the EMG analysis of five static conditions: resting, resisted protraction, maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) in opening, in molar and incisor clenching of TMJ ID and control subjects. The analysis of variance results of the integrated linear envelop (LE) EMG showed no significant differences between the two groups. The integrated LE EMG of the SLP was significantly lower in the TMJ group during molar clenching (104$\mu$V $\pm$ 60.0 over 159$\mu$V $\pm$ 68.8 for a p =.020). The SLP seemed to have lost its discal stabilizing function during clenching. The integrated LE EMG signals of the ILP were significantly higher in the TMJ ID group during rest, resisted protraction and incisor clenching (p =.029, p =.046, p =.031 respectively). The ILP muscle has probably adapted to control the inner joint instability while continuing its own actions. The results of the isometric forces showed that TMJ ID subjects exhibited significantly lower molar bite forces (297.1N over 419N, p =.042) confirming that they have less muscle strength and tissue tolerance than subjects with healthy masticatory muscle system. Incisor bite forces, however, showed a tendency to be higher in the TMJ ID group (233N over 180.5N, p =.168), possibly resulting from the training of a protracted bite and/or hyperactivity of the ILP associated with ID. Therefore a neuromuscular adaptation could be occurring in TMJ ID masticatory system affecting muscular actions and forces. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Download or read book Contemporary Management of Temporomandibular Disorders written by S. Thaddeus Connelly and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive, state of the art guide to the contemporary diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that will help to compensate for the frequent lack of experience and inadequate training among health professionals who encounter patients with jaw joint problems. The opening section describes the whole patient philosophy essential for treatment success, examines ethical and legal considerations, and discusses all aspects of anatomy. Pathophysiology, clinical assessment, and imaging evaluation, including by means of modern MR imaging and CBCT, are then considered in detail. Finally, the diagnostic criteria for the full range of TMDs are thoroughly explained and the urgent need to appreciate temporomandibular disorders as the chronic pain conditions they are is addressed. Complementary volumes are devoted to non-surgical treatment of TMDs and to total temporomandibular joint replacement and other surgical procedures, respectively. Each book will be of high value for the multidisciplinary team necessary for successful management of TMDs, including dentists, surgeons, primary care doctors, pain doctors, and allied health professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book was to offer an overview of recent insights into the current state of arthroplasty. The tremendous long term success of Sir Charnley's total hip arthroplasty has encouraged many researchers to treat pain, improve function and create solutions for higher quality of life. Indeed and as described in a special chapter of this book, arthroplasty is an emerging field in the joints of upper extremity and spine. However, there are inborn complications in any foreign design brought to the human body. First, in the chapter on infections we endeavor to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis and description of the management of this difficult problem. Second, the immune system is faced with a strange material coming in huge amounts of micro-particles from the tribology code. Therefore, great attention to the problem of aseptic loosening has been addressed in special chapters on loosening and on materials currently available for arthroplasty.
