Severity‐Graded MRI‐Detected TMJ Effusion Is Associated With Pain and Dysfunction in Temporomandibular Disorder Patients

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In patients with TMJ arthralgia, MRI‐detected joint effusion was graded from Grade 0 (no effusion) to Grade 2 (moderate‐to‐severe effusion) using T2‐weighted and proton density‐weighted images. Increasing effusion severity was associated with greater pain intensity and mandibular dysfunction.

Eccentric Occlusal Loads Remodel the Dentoalveolar and Temporomandibular Biomechanical Unit in Rats

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Eccentric occlusal loads remodel the dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joints in the masticatory biomechanical unit in rats. (A) Bite block as an occlusal rise (OR) on the rat maxillary first molar (green region) is shown. (B) 18F‐NaF Positron emission tomography localised regions of higher metabolic activity (higher uptake in the left condyle ...

Our Experience with Arthroscopy of Temporomandibular Joint

Česká Stomatologie a Praktické Zubní Lékařství, 2006
Arthroscopy of temporomandibular joint may be considered as a surgical, minimally invasive diagnostic-therapeutic method, which successfully bridges the gap between the conservative therapy of TMP and a surgical intervention on the open joint. It enables

Tooth Wear Severity and Temporomandibular Joint Degenerative Findings on Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography: A Cross‐Sectional Study in Adults

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
In 80 adults with TMD symptoms (160 joints), tooth wear was scored clinically and TMJ degeneration was assessed on CBCT. Adjusted analyses showed no association with osteophytes, erosion, subchondral cysts, or definite osteoarthritis, indicating that tooth wear alone does not predict TMJ degeneration.

Thin-disk laser – Power scaling to the kW regime in fundamental mode operation [PDF]

, 2009
A significant reduction of the influence of the thermal lens in thin-disk lasers in high power laser operation mode could be achieved, using dynamically stable resonators. For designing the resonator, investigations of thermally induced phase distortions

Efficacy of Local Treatment in Patients With Rheumatic Diseases Affecting the Temporomandibular Joint—A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This systematic review found limited evidence for local treatments of temporomandibular joint involvement in rheumatic inflammatory arthropathies (RIA). Based on 33 studies with moderate to high risk of bias, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) showed better outcomes after total joint replacement than other RIA patients in terms of mouth ...

‘We Didn't Really Learn How to Manage It’: An In‐Depth Mixed‐Methods Exploration Into Temporomandibular Disorder Management Behaviours of First‐Contact Healthcare Practitioners in Australia

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect approximately 10% of the population and present management challenges for first‐contact healthcare practitioners. In this sequential explanatory mixed‐methods study, Australian dentists, physiotherapists, and general medical practitioners completed a survey (n = 150), with interviews conducted in a subset (n ...

Analysis of Muscle Fibre Orientation in the Human Medial and Lateral Pterygoid Muscles Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging: A Methodological Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography to assess in vivo 3D muscle fibre orientation of the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles in ten healthy men. Scans were performed at simulated mandibular rest and 25‐mm open‐mouth positions. DTI tractography successfully visualised the internal fibre architecture. During mouth opening, marked

Applicability of the Modified Brief Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders in a Population‐Based Study: A Retrospective Evaluation

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
The modified brief DC/TMD protocol showed excellent agreement with the DC/TMD for pain‐related TMDs (specificity > 0.99; κ = 0.88–0.89) but lower agreement for joint diagnoses (κ = 0.44–0.70) in a population‐based cohort. An exploratory ultra‐brief screening protocol showed high agreement for myalgia and arthralgia (κ = 0.84–0.86), supporting time ...

Efficacy of Physical Therapy on Maximal Mouth Opening in Patients Affected by Disc Displacement and Degenerative Temporomandibular Joint Diseases: A Systematic Review

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Among temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), the main arthrogenic entities are disc‐condylar complex disorders and degenerative diseases. Objective This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Methods A systematic review was conducted across PubMed,
