Treatment of temporomandibular joint problems
Treatment of temporomandibular joint problems by the best dentist in Isfahan. The article I prepared for you today is about temporomandibular joint problems. – It is a jaw. The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the skull, and like any other joint, it has ligaments, muscles, synovial fluid, and anatomy similar to other joints.. Therefore, it can suffer from joint disorders such as inflammation or related muscle problems. Usually, temporomandibular joint problems can be classified into three categories, which are classified according to the cause of these problems..
The first issue is the detailed issue itself, the four signs that can show themselves in this regard (Although all four signs cannot necessarily be seen together) this is:
- Pain in the joint
- Limitation in opening the mouth, every human being is naturally the size of his four fingers (Except for the thumb ) He must be able to open his mouth, less than this amount means restriction in opening his mouth.
- The sound of the temporomandibular joint is divided into clicking and crepitus.
- Deviation from the midline or from the midline. In the sense that when opening the mouth, the jaw slightly tilts to the right or left side, which can return to the middle line or not.. These are the four symptoms of temporomandibular joint involvement.
When a patient with temporomandibular joint problems comes to us with one of the above symptoms, we examine them for joint problems, muscle problems, and teeth coupling problems.. If necessary, correction of the occlusion or correction of the coupling of the teeth, and if the problem is only from the temporomandibular joint itself, inflammation and pain can be controlled with treatments such as photobiomodulation, that is, laser therapy of the joint area.. You can also use night guards or night protectors, and if necessary, drug therapy will also help us. PBM laser can be used in relation to the problems of masticatory muscles and their spasm.
Regarding occlusion interference, correction of occlusion and leading points in teeth pairing and, if necessary, orthodontic treatments will be suggested.. A very important point for my dear compatriots is that the prevalence of TMD or temporomandibular disorders or temporomandibular joint problems is about 75% It is seen from humans in a period of life, according to various international studies. That is, from every 4 Man 3 People experience temporomandibular joint problems at some point in their lives. So there is no need to worry and these can be controlled and managed. At Najm Dental Laser Center, we control the inflammation, pain and problems caused by it with various treatments that exist according to the cause of this disease..
