MODERN METHODS OF PATIENTS TREATMENT WITH DENTITION DEFECTS COMBINED WITH FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT.

OBJECTIVE

The aim: The purpose of the research was to increase the efficiency of treatment at patients with dentition defects and functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint.

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and methods: We examined 140 patients aged from 25 to 65 years with functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint, analysed there diagnostic models in the articulator and 3D scanner, used radiographic methods of examination and condylography.

RESULTS

Results

The results of the conducted studies showed that in the 1st group, the biomechanical parameters of temporomandibular joint movements before treatment were significantly lower: 6,4 ± 0,2 mm and 6,8 ± 0,2 mm for right and left temporomandibular joint during protrusion movements; 7,8 ± 0,1 mm and 7,9 ± 0,2 mm during vertical movements; 6,7 ± 0,1 mm and 6,5 ± 0,2 mm during transversal movements. After 12 month of complex and prosthetic treatment with a help of non-removable dentures the magnitude of movements remains at the achieved level at all excursions. As a result, proposed by us comprehensive treatment of functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint is carried out in stages. The proposed design of an individual tire makes it possible to gradually increase the bite height and perfectly forms the occlusal ratio. After 6 and 12 months of the proposed treatment, we have found that the indicators of vertical and protrusion movements of articular heads at patients of 2nd group were significantly better than before treatment.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

The proposed design of an individual tire makes it possible to gradually increase the bite height and perfectly forms the occlusal ratio.
