AbstractThe authors designed this analysis to serve as a tool for use in the study of growth and development of the craniomandibular articulation. It integrates an examination of the morphology and function of the temporomandibular joint with dento-skeletal characteristics according to pre-established cephalometric norms. The experimental sample consisted of 30 dental students with normal occlusions. Gnathologic principles, a tomographic study, cephalometric x-rays, submental vertex views, and temporomandibular joint space analysis were all correlated to provide a thorough and detailed approach to study of the joint.

AbstractIn an attempt to find a non-invasive diagnostic technique capable of indicating temporomandibular joint derangement, this study closely examines sequential sagittal computerized tomography (CT) scans of eight cadaver joints to ascertain just what they reveal. The scans are compared with their physical counterparts, the soft tissues of the joints having been dissected in the same sequential sagittal slices. The comparisons show that the CT scans had some weaknesses, but repeated experimentation led to useful and valuable methods of taking the scans so as to receive fairly accurate data. Both the difficulties and the advantages of CT scans are discussed, and the radiographs and the actual dissected segments are thoroughly explained.

AbstractOcclusal splints have been widely used in dentistry for treating craniomandibular disorders, yet the precise effect that splints have on symptoms is still undetermined. When the available research evidence is closely scrutinized it is found to be weak and generally unsupported. Most studies are lacking in sound research design and often draw conclusions that are unsubstantiated. Recognizing these weaknesses, this article proposes a research design that will effectively evaluate treatment effects through rigid, well-controlled, and accurately documented experimentation. Using this research design clinically may be a difficult task. However, incorporation of one or more of the suggested parameters will help to strengthen any research proposal.

AbstractThe relationship between the cranial, cervical, and hyoid regions can be modified by removable orthopedic appliances installed by the dentist and by manual orthopedic techniques applied to the cervical spine by the physical therapist. However, each of these disciplines evaluates and treats according to the patient's symptoms and various objective criteria that are primarily limited to that field.The author suggests that these two approaches to normalizing those relationships must be coordinated. He presents an objective method of evaluating x-rays to determine the impact of both disciplines, and suggests that this can help determine the normal biomechanical relationship of these structures.He also discusses the importance of the following points as they relate to this method: 1. The position of the hyoid bone in determining the appropriate curvature of the cervical spine.2. The distance between the occiput and the atlas and its relevance to the headache syndrome.3. The angular relationship of the ...

AbstractIn all synovial joints normal function demands that sharp surface contact of the moving parts be maintained at all times. This is termed joint stability. Ordinary masticatory function imposes on the craniomandibular articulation a variety of mechanical forces which, if not counteracted, would separate the articulating parts and create a state of instability. An essential role of the articular discs is to maintain sharp contact of the joint surfaces during the full range of function—at rest as well as during empty-mouth movements, power strokes, and maximum intercuspation.The mechanism by which stability is maintained in the temporomandibular joints is unique and complex. A full understanding of mandibular function (and dysfunction) depends largely on accurate knowledge of the biomechanics by which the articular discs maintain joint stability. Applying such information at a clinical level brings new meaning to symptoms that identify disc interferences. This knowledge improves diagnosis and makes th...

AbstractA patient with facial pain and a limited range of mandibular movement underwent an extensive dental/craniomandibular examination. In addition, he had a medical and rheumatological evaluation. A diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis with secondary involvement of the temporomandibular joints was made. This was clearly differentiated from rheumatoid arthritis. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment was established with excellent cooperation between physicians and dentist. The management of this patient is described.

AbstractA diagnostic chart is established using ten diagnostic mandibular movements made under three different conditions: active, resisted, and passive movements. The chart is presented in order to provide the practitioner with a rapid method for evaluating the masticatory musculature for myospasm and the TMJ for capsulitis. This chart lists the primary contracting muscles for each of the motions. The method and its interpretation are outlined in detail. If the chart and its explanations are carefully utilized, the practitioner will be aided in discovering and correcting the cause(s) of the spasm and dysfunction.

AbstractElectrical physical therapy modalities are beginning to emerge as important and integral adjunctive treatments in the care of the craniomandibular oral facial pain patient. It has been found that these methods, when coupled with more traditional forms of treatment, can in many cases reduce treatment time, simplify treatment, provide for more rapid symptom relief, and enhance the treatment objectives when compared to the sole use of more traditional modalities.It is the purpose of this paper to introduce to the practitioner three of the more commonly used electrical physical therapy modalities: high voltage electrogalvanic stimulation, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation, and ultrasound.
