“…At the same time, the secondary reduction in the space for the tongue results in a further displacement of the incisors in the proximal direction, and the molar teeth in the collateral direction. [ 37 ] In turn, according to Bunch, the pressure exerted by the brace affects the position of the whole denture in relation to the cranial base and supporting bone [ 46 ]. Another negative consequence of using a brace is the reduction in posterior face height, which Alexander notes in his research [ 2 ].…”

Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) more frequently suffer dysfunctions of dento-skeletal complex. To our knowledge, no study has ever evaluated the temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) of AIS patients at least 23 years after the completion of Milwaukee brace treatment. We aimed to provide a complex assessment of TMD and AIS patients treated with a Milwaukee brace, in a minimum 23-year follow-up, using radiological, clinical, and socio-demographical data, and to adapt the TMD Disability Index Questionnaire (TMDQ) and Fonseca’s questionnaire (FQ) to Polish conditions. In total, 42 healthy females and 30 AIS patients with a minimum of 23 years after a completed Milwaukee brace treatment were asked to complete the Polish version of (TMDQ-PL) and (FQ-PL). AIS patients present higher TMD levels than healthy controls. Significant differences exist between TMDQ-PL and FQ-PL (both in total scores and particular sub-sections), and AIS patients. Clinical and radiological factors affected the TMDQ-PL and FQ-PL results. Adult patients with scoliosis treated conservatively present limitations in everyday activities connected with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The variety of curve-related factors in a long-term follow-up of wearing the Milwaukee brace influence TMJ.

Association between Orthopedic and Dental Findings: What Level of Evidence is Available?

2007

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to provide comprehensive access to and an analysis of the specialist literature published through December 2005 describing a correlation between orthopedic (leg-length inequality, pelvis obliquity, column diseases and head posture) and dental findings (occlusion, mandibular position, temporomandibular joints, masticatory muscles). Method: Four medical and dental internet sources (PubMed; Medpilot.de; databases of the Deutsche Ärzte-Verlag and Quintessenz-Verlag) were screened for relevant articles using carefully selected retrieval strategies and keywords. Bibliographies of relevant articles were examined for further pertinent publications. All relevant articles were tabulated according to their year of publication, the subject area discussed, and the levels of scientific evidence. Results: Our electronic inquiry yielded 359 relevant articles (electronic search: 195, search in bibliographies: 164), 355 of which could be analyzed. A correlation between dental findings and spinal column diseases was described in 266 articles, head posture in 216, pelvis obliquity in 53, and leg-length inequality in 35 papers. In 131 publications, conclusions were drawn from dental to orthopedic findings, whereas they were drawn from orthopedic to dental findings in 171 articles. The number of relevant articles rose significantly, particularly since the 1980's. Classification in levels of evidence reveals three publications (0.8%) with level II (randomized controlled trials), 63 (17.7%) with level III (experimental studies with no randomization, cohort studies, or casecontrol studies), 178 (50.1%) with level IV (non-experimental studies, such as cross-sectional trials, case series, case reports), and 111 (31.3%) with level V (narrative review or expert opinion without explicit critical appraisal). IntroductionSeveral publications in the German-language dental literature over the last few years have reported a functional relationship between orthopedic findings (spinal scoliosis, disturbances of the atlanto-occipital, atlanto-axial, and/or iliosacral joints, pelvis obliquity, leg-length inequality) and the masticatory system (occlusion, mandibular position, temporomandibular joints, masticatory muscles) [51,260,302,303,330]. The literature on this subject has originated in many countries (and languages) and is of variable quality, making assessment of the alleged associations difficult. We thus decided to carry out a systematic literature review. After compiling a list of relevant contributions published through December 2005, we analyzed their contents and quality.
