This paper presents the results of an applied qualitative study with dental students and professionals who work with people suffering from temporomandibular disorder. The aim was to investigate the way that dental practitioners and students perceive patients affected by this disorder, how they feel faced with the patients' suffering, and the importance they assign to a multidisciplinary approach, highlighting the treatments used. It is noteworthy that various factors are involved in the temporomandibular disorder framework, including emotional factors, as cited by the majority of the respondents. The data obtained indicated that the knowledge of the professionals and students related to caring for people with temporomandibular disorders was appropriate, however, important inadequacies were highlighted, such as the fact that professionals do not investigate the life history of the person in their psychosocial context.

Individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) often have signs and symptoms such as intra-articular pain, muscle spasm, neck pain radiating from others who interfere with this balance. Over time can lead to postural changes and correction of the cervical spine, anterior head and shoulder asymmetry. The aim was to verify the effects of manual therapy on posture in subjects with TMD. Materials and methods: 30 volunteers (mean: 21.43± SD:1.43) of both sexes who had TMD classified according to axis I of the Research Diagnostic Criteria participated in this study. These were photographed in the anterior frontal and sagittal planes for analysis of the following angles (acromion clavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint, orbicular external, corners of the mouthand and protruding head). After, the volunteers were divided into groups ATM (manual therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular joint), Cervical (manual therapy in the treatment of cervical joint) and Control. The Kolmogokov-Smirnov test, followed by ANOVA, considering a significance level of 5% was used. Results: Groups ATM, Cervical and Control were considered homogeneous with respect to the values of the angles measured. These also showed no significant difference between the 1st, 5th and 10th sessions, so the manual therapy techniques applied to the TMJ and Cervical groups were not sufficient to change postural alignment. Conclusion: The postural alignment, the TMD patients evaluated in this study did not change after attending the sessions proposals with manual therapy techniques in the cervical and TMJ.

INTRODUCTION: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have association with psychological manifestations. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to correlate the severity of TMD and the level of self-esteem, and to investigate sex‑related differences. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We evaluated 57 subjects of both gender, with mean age of 20.28 ± 2.07 years, through the Fonseca Anamnesis Index (FAI) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSS). Correlations between variables were performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient; comparisons between the genders were performed using the Mann-Whitney test. It was considered a significance level of 5%. RESULT: No differences were found for the comparisons between the gender in the FAI (p = 0.79) and the RSS (p = 0.90). RSS correlates with the FAI in women (p = 0.01), but in men this result does not occur (p = 0.07). CONCLUSION: We concluded that women are more likely to have emotional disturbances resulting from changes in the temporomandibular joint than men.

A técnica milenar da Acupuntura vem sendo empregada na Odontologia e obtendo bons resultados em diversas situações. Analgesia, relaxamento muscular e inflamação vêm sendo controlados, demonstrando assim conexão entre Acupuntura e redução de certas sintomatologias. As reações locais e à distância necessitam de correto posicionamento das agulhas assim como integridade do sistema nervoso, e são decorrentes da liberação de neurotransmissores (noradrenalina, acetilcolina, serotoninas e dopamina). Dentro da Odontologia, podemos nos utilizar dos seus efeitos no pré e pós operatório, em xerostomia, cefaléias, trismos, disfunção de ATM por estresse, parestesias, paresias, ansiedade, entre outras condições. Nos casos de disfunção de Articulação Temporomandibular por hiperatividade muscular, podemos utilizar a Acupuntura ao invés de relaxante muscular e antiinflamatório. Nesse trabalho, apresentaremos um caso clínico (paciente MCH, 23 anos, gênero feminino), a qual apresentava crises de dor de cabeça (região temporal), fazendo uso constante de medicação analgésica e antiinflamatória, o diagnóstico estabelecido foi Dor Muscular Local associado à hiperatividade muscular. Através do uso da Acupuntura, após aplicações semanais por 3 meses, houve remissão da dor por completo.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to test the association between quality of sleep and stress in individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Methods: The study sample consisted of 354 adult subjects (males and females) from the municipality of Piacatu, São Paulo state, in the Southeast region of Brazil. Data were collected using the Fonseca’s Questionnaire to record the level of TMD, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess quality of sleep and the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) to record stress level. The data were analyzed by the software Epi Info 2000 version 3.2 using a chi-square test at the 0.05 level of significance. Results: One hundred and eighty (50.8%) subjects had some level of TMD. The statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between the three stress scores and the presence or absence of sleep disorders, considering an overall PSQI score > 5 as an indicator of a subject with sleep problems (P<0.01). Conclusion: Both quality of sleep and stress levels were associated with TMD in this sample.

Purpose: due to the presence of major masticatory dysfunction in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, this study analyzed mouth opening and EMG activity of masticatory muscles in order to detect changes in these parameters after surgical release of mandible ankylosis. Method: in 7 patients with temporomandibular ankylosis, between 7 and 30 years (median = 9 years), the distance was measured as interincisal maximum active (DIMA) and we recorded the electromyographic activity (EMG) of masseter and temporal muscles during voluntary isometric contraction (VIC) and chewing, comparing the data before and after surgery using the Wilcoxon test. Results: higher values were observed for DIMA after surgery (p=0.0277), the asymmetry index showed no difference between the two evaluated periods for both studied muscles, the values of the EMG during VIC decreased after surgery for the right (p=0.0179) and left (p=0.0179) masseter but not for the temporal muscle, there were no changes in EMG values for the studied muscles during mastication. Conclusion: the surgical release of TMJ ankylosis resulted in an increase of mouth opening and decreased amplitude of action potentials generated during maximum isometric voluntary contraction of the masseter muscle on both sides, this did not change the asymmetry index of the masseter and temporal as well as the electromyographic activity of the temporal muscle bilaterally during isometric contraction and masseter and temporal muscles during mastication.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é um termo que descreve um grupo de doenças que afetam funcionalmente o aparelho mastigatório, particularmente a musculatura mastigatória e a articulação temporomandibular (ATM). Tem etiologias múltiplas e tratamentos específicos, entre os quais a estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS). O objetivo deste artigo é o de revisar a literatura científica sobre o uso da TENS em pacientes com DTM. CONTEÚDO: Estudos epidemiológicos mostram que aproximadamente 75% da população apresentam algum sinal de DTM, enquanto 33% possuem ao menos um sintoma. Sempre que possível deve-se tratar a causa da dor, caso não se consiga estabelecer a sua etiologia, inicia-se com procedimentos menos invasivos e reversíveis, especialmente nos casos de dor e disfunção muscular. A terapia com TENS consiste na administração de corrente elétrica na superfície cutânea, de modo a relaxar os músculos hiperativos e promover o alívio da dor. CONCLUSÃO: Embora existam controvérsias quanto ao uso de TENS para o controle da dor crônica, seu uso na dor muscular mastigatória continua relevante. Entretanto, é fundamental o diagnóstico preciso para evitar uso inadequado. São necessários ainda estudos randomizados controlados que incluam amostras selecionadas para homogeneizar o uso de TENS em pacientes com DTM.

O objetivo deste estudo prospectivo foi verificar os efeitos dos aparelhos Twin Force Bite Corrector e Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device na junção temporomandibular e nas vias aéreas. Para tanto, foram selecionados 21 pacientes adultos jovens, má oclusão de Classe II 1ª. divisão, bilateral, mínimo de 1/2 Classe II, padrão de crescimento horizontal. Para tanto, a amostra foi dividida em 2 grupos: grupo A, com média de idade inicial de 14,55 anos, tratado com o aparelho ortopédico fixo Twin ForceR por um período médio de 3,7 meses e o grupo B com média de idade inicial de 15,45 anos, tratado com o aparelho Forsus, por um período médio de 7,4 meses, ambos associados à aparelhagem fixa com mecânica straight-wire, prescrição MBT. Os pacientes do grupo A realizaram TCFC em três tempos: T1A (inicial - sem instalação do aparelho), T2A (no dia da i nstalação do aparelho ortopédico fixo), T3A (após a remoção do aparelho ortopédico fixo). Já o grupo 2 realizou TCFC em dois tempos: T2B (no dia da instalação do aparelho ortopédico fixo) e T3B (após a remoção do aparelho ForsusTM). Após a obtenção das imagens 3Dforam realizados cortes sagitais e coronais na ATM para avaliação do tamanho do côndilo e avaliação dos espaços articulares e vias aéreas. Para comparação intergrupos foi utilizado o teste "t" independente e correlação de Pearson e para comparação intragrupos, análise de variância a um critério e teste t pareado. O nível de significância adotado foi de p<0,05%. Não houve alteração significante na avaliação intergrupos, para as dimensões condilares, espaços articulares, e vias aéreas. Por outro lado, na avaliação intragrupo, houve alteração significante no comprimento efetivo da mandíbula (Co-Gn) para o grupo B, supostamente devido a um maior tempo de tratamento, pois houve correlação significante da largura coronal esquerda e direita com Co-Gn, embora clinicamente tenha sido irrelevante. Sendo assim, conclui-se que não houve diferença entre o desempenho dos dois aparelhos estudados na remodelação óssea condilar em pacientes jovens adultos e não houve alteração das vias aéreas após o tratamento com os aparelhos ortopédicos funcionais fixos e Forsus e Twin Force.

Objective: To evaluate the inter-relationship between TMD (temporomandibular disorder), depression and sleep disorder. Methods: This is a case-control study with questionnaires in 111 patients, allocated from the Dentistry Department of UFRN, Natal, Brazil, from September 2014 to June 2015, for evaluation of depressive symptoms through the BDI (Beck Depression Inventory); sleep disorder, the PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and DTM through the RDC / TMD (diagnostic criteria to search for DTM). All indexes were applied by a single examiner previously trained and calibrated. The collected data were analyzed with chi-square tests of Pearson (χ2) and the unconditional logistic regression. Results: women had a risk of 2.85 times more likely to develop TMD (p = 0.046). The OR (odds ratio) shows that sleep disturbance increases by 2.19 the chances of having TMD (p = 0.062) and depressive symptoms increase the risk by 3.16 times in developing dysfunction (p = 0.053). Conclusion: The data of this research allows us to conclude that patients with TMD, in this population, were more likely to develop changes in sleep and depressive symptoms.

Introdução: As disfunções temporomandibulares assumem um papel cada vez mais importante na prática diária do médico dentista pois são uma desordem músculo-esquelética com elevado impacto na vida das pessoas. Desenvolvimento: Caracterizadas por uma etiologia multifactorial, desde cedo que os estudos científicos procuraram determinar quais os factores causais despoletantes e perpetuantes das disfunções. É importante a avaliação individual de cada caso clínico pois vários factores têm sido de uma forma mais ou menos profunda relacionadas com o desenrolar destas patologias. Ao longo dos anos, o papel que a oclusão representa no desenvolvimento das disfunções temporomandibulares tem sido excessivamente debatido levando a variadas opiniões e a elevada controvérsia. O seu impacto nas disfunções do sistema mastigatório veio a repercutir-se no tema da ortodontia e este interesse deveu-se essencialmente ao fato de o tratamento ortodôntico alterar as condições oclusais dos pacientes despoletando dúvidas sobre qual a influência desta terapêutica como factor causal de disfunções temporomandibulares posteriores ao tratamento. Conclusão: O sucesso do tratamento da disfunção temporomandibular depende de uma análise criteriosa da situação clínica e dos seus factores etiológicos, para que se seleccione a terapêutica adequada. É importante estudar cada caso, planear e adaptar a correcta terapêutica às diferentes situações. Da mesma forma, o sucesso do tratamento ortodôntico requer as mesmas premissas para um resultado final positivo, quer do ponto de vista estético como funcional.

Background: The presence of body posture changes among patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has been a controversial issue in the literature, in which it supporters point out the muscular origin as the main etiological factors, mainly associated with postural changes in head. Due to this controversy, it is pertinent to check whether this relationship exists on the most common etiology of TMD, the disk displacement, which translates a biomechanical internal disorder of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Objectives: Assess body posture changes in subjects with internal derangement of the TMJ when compared to subjects without this biomechanical dysfunction, characterize the patterns of the jaw movements and assess to the muscle activation during jaw movements. Methods: 21 subjects with TMJ disc displacement (DD) (test group) and 21 subjects without any TMD (control group) was assessed for body posture changes through evaluation of several body segments by posturography and also was evaluated the postural balance reactions through the center of mass during jaw movements using a balance platform. For the characterization of the jaw movement patterns it was done a kinematic analysis during jaw movements (active ROM and path of the jaw). For the muscle activation during jaw movements it was evaluated the masseter, sternocleidomastoid and spinae erector muscles by surface electromyography (EMG). Results Discussion: Both groups show forward head posture and extension of the cervical spine, not noticing any other significant body posture changes in subjects with DD, and if we had to see in detail, in general, subjects without TMD shows more body posture changes than subjects with DD. The pattern of jaw movements is similar in both groups, but in subjects with DD the closing movements are more instable than the opening movements, related to a less effective movement control to counteract the force of gravity and the disk displacement. The bilateral muscle activation during jaw movements is higher in subjects with DD, likely related to a less stable pattern of movement which leads in a higher muscle activation to guide the movement and ensure the best as possible articular stability. Conclusion: The disk displacement with reduction should be viewed as part of a set of signs and symptoms that require an accurate musculoskeletal and psychosocial assessment towards an earlier diagnosis for reduction and control of the functional limiting factors. In this direction, it seems that the relevant set of limiting signs and symptoms deserve a particular attention by health care practitioners involved in the assessment and treatment of TMD, in order to define effective therapeutic options.
