Abstract
- Background: Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) is the dysfunction of group of muscles and bones in the joint area, the main symptoms of TMD are the pain of the chewing muscles and (or) the temporomandibular joints, mandibular movement disorders and joint noise. This study was designed to explore the therapeutic effects following Individual Musculoskeletally Stable (IMS) position stabilization splint therapy for TMD patients using Fricton index, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and surface-Electromyogram (sEMG).<br />Methods: In this study, we enrolled 31 TMD patients (ranging from 18 to 26 years old, including 7 males and 24 females), first Fricton index was used to evaluate the clinical curative effect of TMD with the treatment of IMS stabilization splint; then CBCT was used to observe the TMJ condylar position changes of TMD before and after the treatment of IMS stabilization splint; finally sEMG was used to observe the changes of electromyography of anterior temporalis (AT) and masseter muscles (MM) of TMD before and after the treatment of IMS stabilization splint.<br />Results: The course of treatment was 6-8 months, with an average of 7.6 months. After the IMS stabilization splint treatment, TMD symptoms relieved, especially in pain, mandibular movement disorder, but still slightly inferior in the treatment of joint noise. And there was a statistically significant difference in the anterior and inner joint space, the condyle had the tendency of moving forward and outward. AT presented reduction significantly of EMG value at rest position after treatment.<br />Conclusions: IMS stabilization splint is a therapeutic reversible treatment for TMD, especially for pain and mandibular movement disorder; it produces effects of forward and outward condylar movement and elimination of the masticatory muscles antagonism.<br /> (© 2024.
