Three-point vs one-point palpation of temporomandibular joint. A clinical trial study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Palpation is a crucial component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) examination in identifying tenderness. One-finger one-point palpation has high tendency for inappropriate application and misinterpretation.
 Objective: To evaluate three-point vs determination TMJ tenderness.
 Patients Methods: The study included fourth fifth-year students College Dentistry/Hawler Medical University. All were examined using both techniques. Two essential elements recorded each TMJ: tenderness clicking.
 Results: A total 76 (152 TMJs); 40 female 37 male, included. One-point was present 41 (26.7%) 114 (75%) TMJs (P=0.0001), with sensitivity 75% specificity 73%. Clicking, three-point, 14 (9.21%), one-point, 22 (14.47%) (P=0.2136) 18.42% 71%.
 Conclusion: Three-point technique can be used TMJ, especially detection Better not to clicking evaluation.

A clinical study on temporomandibular joint ankylosis.
OBJECTIVE Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis results from trauma, infection and inadequate surgical treatment of the condylary area. Many techniques for treatment have been described so far. However, none of them gave uniformly successful results. A limited range of intrinsical opening due to relapse, loss of vertical height of the affected ramus, foreign body reactions and reankylosis are...

Background and Aim: The reduction of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) is one of the most significant concerns in dentistry. In contrast to initial treatments, such as pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy, which act as temporary tranquilizers, growth factors have shown promising results in the stimulation of cell division. Given the limited research on the positive impact of platelet-rich pl...
متن کاملTemporomandibular Joint Remodeling for the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders - A Clinical Case Study
Introduction: The author (R. Wurgaft) has tried a unique way of splint therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder. An orthopedic splint that only contact in the posterior occlusion, actually only the most distal contacts, is designed to distalize the mandible, and in turn to produce tissue remodeling of the temporomandibular joint. With this technique, it is possible to treat tempor...
