“…With respect to orthopedic instability (OIS), there is surprisingly little research on OIS as a risk factor for TMD, per se, even though it is considered an important risk factor for TMD by Okeson. [5] [6]…”

Determining the importance of risk factors for the occurrence of temporomandibular disorders in the population and among exposed individuals

There are many case-control (Ca-Co) studies in the literature on the importance of risk factors for the occurrence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). These studies typically report the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for each risk factor being studied. This paper presents other epidemiological measurements for evaluating the importance of risk factors for the occurrence of TMD. These measurements include the population attributable risk percent (PAR%) and the attributable risk percent (AR%). The AR% for parafunctional habits, facial trauma, and orthopedic instability were estimated to be 86%, 80%, and 60%, respectively, while the corresponding PAR% were estimated to be 60%, 38%, and 7%. PAR% underestimates the importance of a risk factor for the occurrence of TMD among individuals exposed to the risk factor. The attributable risk percent (AR%) is an appropriate epidemiological measurement to evaluate the importance of a risk factor for TMD among individuals exposed to the risk factor.

“…The next example examines the importance of multiple risk factors [5] [6] [7] for the occurrence of TMD, either muscle disorders, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, or a combination of the two (Table 2). The risk factors are parafunctional habits, facial trauma, and orthopedic instability.…”

“…The rising trend for dental and maxillofacial aesthetics, even in the case of temporomandibular disease (TMD) [1,2], creates enormous pressure on dental clinics and dental technicians. The worldwide effort for an ecological approach seeks solutions by reducing the carbon footprint and production waste.…”

The increasing demand for dental aesthetics, articulation corrections, and solutions for pain and frequent bruxism demands quick and effective restorative dental management. The biomedical research aimed to create a beneficial, ecological, and readily available anterior deprogrammer to determine the centric relation (CR) of cases. This medical device is additively manufactured from a biocompatible material. Size is customizable based on the width of the patient’s anterior central incisors. This is a pilot study with two subjects. The task was to develop a complete data protocol for the production process, computer-aided design (CAD), and three-dimensional (3D) printing of the anterior deprogrammers. The research focused on creating simple and practically applicable tools for the dentist’s prescription (anterior deprogrammer in three sizes), and secondly for the communication between the dentist and the patient (computer application). The tested hypothesis was whether, according to these novel tools, it is possible to produce functional occlusal splints, which could be manufactured using current technologies. This study compared a traditional splint with a digitally designed and 3D-printed one. The tested hypothesis was whether manufactured occlusal splints differ in patients’ subjective perception of comfort. Each conservative treatment was monitored for ten weeks. Initial results are promising; no statistically significant difference was found between the productive technologies.

“…Durerea orofacială de origine stomatologică provine de la componentele sistemului masticator, atât cele intraorale (dinţi, ţesuturi moi), cât și cele extraorale (mușchi, articulaţie temporo-mandibulară). Este o durere somatică de tip superficial (îşi are originea în ţesuturile cutanate şi mucogingivale) sau de tip profund (durerea dentară, musculară și articulară) și poate căpăta, ca în oricare ţesut, un aspect acut sau cronic [6,7,12].…”

“…Orofacial pain of dental origin comes from the components of the masticatory system, both intraoral (teeth, soft tissues) and extraoral (muscles, temporo-mandibular joint). It is a somatic pain of superficial type (that has its origin in the cutaneous and mucogingival tissues) or of deep type (dental, muscular and articular pain) and can acquire, as in any tissue, an acute or chronic aspect [6,7,12].…”

According to the literature, the most common orofacial pains whose origin are not in the structures of the stomatognathic system, but which are encountered in the offices of dentists are tension pain, trigeminal neuralgia and migraine. Therefore, our main task is to differentiate between facial pain of dental origin, which are in our competence to manage them and other painful orofacial pathologies, which require the cooperation of several specialists. Facial pain, whether muscular or joint origin, has the qualities of a deep somatic pain, always occurs after a recent event (trauma, dental fracture, dental treatment, occlusal changes), is accompanied by disruption of functions (mastication, phonation) and it often causes limited mandibular movements. The presence of muscular, articular, vascular and neurological structures in a restricted anatomical territory often makes difficult to establish the correct diagnosis, that’s why the interdisciplinary approach is inevitable and recommended.
