Parafunctional is affected by:
Size and shape and number of roots Quantity and quality of the bone Presence of microbial biofilm Oral habits Missing and shifting teeth
Allows some trauma without damage
Occurs when the condyles of the TMJ rest in the normal closed superoanterior position and the mandible is even contact
AKA Occlusion or Centric Occlusion or Maximum Intercupation or Vertical Dimension of Occlusion
Hyperfunction
Heavy occlusal forces exceed adaptive range causing injury in an otherwise healthy periodontium
Primary Traumatic Occlusion
Heavy occlusal forces exceeding the adaptive range causing injury EXCEPT the periodontium is already periodontally involved
Secondary Traumatic Occlusion
Traumatic occlusion DOES NOT mean the same
This occlusion sometimes function perfectly well
Malocclusion
Produces pain or dysfunction in the masticatory system
TMD- Temporomandibular Disorder
Disorder involves muscles not the joint
Extracapsular
Involves the joint itself 5-7% of the population would benefit from TMD therapy
Intracapsular
Single event injury (ex: car wreck)
Macrotrauma
Event over time that causes damage such as bruxism
Microtrauma
Oral habits are repetitive masticatory activities outside the normal range of function
TRUE
Muscle and facial disorders of the masticatory system:
Myalgia, trismus, spasm, dyskinesia, and bruxism
TMJ Disorders
Arthritis, etc
Mandibular Mobility Disorders:
Ankylosis, muscular fibrosis, and adhesions
Maxillomandibular Growth Disorders:
Neoplastic and Non-neoplastic disorders
Clenching/grinding
Nocturnal- night time
Diurnal- day time
Bruxism
Bruxism causes what to happen?
Toothwear Myalia Tooth fractures Headaches Restorative nightmare Hypertrophy- extraction nightmare
Bruxism may cause
Widened PDL, bone loss, and mobility in some people and in others cause hypercememtosis and tooth fractures in others but in both cause the patient pain and eventual tooth loss
TMD Symptoms:
Pain Tenderness in muslces & TMJ Clicking- dyskinesia Limited motion Swelling Ears ringing - tinnitus
Maximum Intercuspation
Centric occlusion
Vertical dimension of occlusion
Occlusion
Tooth or area that “hits first” preventing even, well distributed contact
Supracontact
Criteria for TMD treatment
- Determine the correct differential diagnosis
- Selected with reason and purpose
- Directed towards the symptom relief
Clark’s Guideline
TMD Treatment: Home Therapy
Soft diet
Heat and cold packs applied
Exercises
TMD Treatment: Physical Therapy
Ultrasound
ELectrical Stimulation
Manipulations
