{"title":"The effect of non-surgical management of TM disorders.","authors":"C E Skinner, P A Neff","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>One hundred and ninety-three patients with varying occlusal discrepancies were diagnosed as having TM disorders with orofacial pain. They were divided into five groups with similar clinical symptomatology. There were 84 patients with clicking, 45 with headaches, 13 with neckaches, 39 with tenderness in the TMJ bilaterally and masticatory muscles and 12 with uncomfortable occlusal relationships. All were given an anterior deprogrammer to wear for a period of one week in order to relax the masticatory muscles and allow the jaw to return to a physiologic position. The follow-up occlusal device therapy varied according to clinical symptoms. The group with clicking wore anterior repositioning orthopedic devices to recapture the displaced articular disc, followed by a gradual return to a centric relation position. The other groups wore centric relation appliances providing even posterior cusp tip contacts and anterior guidance. All patients wore the appliances for varying periods, up to one year, with monthly adjustments. The clinical symptoms significantly decreased, and all but 4 patients who had to be treated surgically, had the malocclusion corrected at the same treatment position of the centric relation appliances that were worn for one year. The results suggest that short-term occlusal device therapy is effective as an interim method towards the correction of occlusal discrepancies, but should be followed by a final treatment that will maintain the jaw in an asymptomatic and physiologic position. Four-year re-evaluations revealed no reoccurrence of chronic symptoms after finalization treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":79693,"journal":{"name":"NDA journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"14-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20514897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A radiographic survey of dental anomalies in Black pediatric patients.","authors":"C Bruce, G Manning-Cox, C Stanback-Fryer, K Banks, M Gilliam","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>During seemingly routine check-ups, the dental practitioner must be ever aware of \"quiescent\" abnormalities or irregularities. Knowledge of special problems occurring within a certain patient population is of great value to the practitioner when evaluating the individual patient. Numerous studies have been conducted evaluating the pediatric Caucasian population; however, no comparable studies for the Black pediatric population have been done. This study sought to establish prevalence rates for the Black pediatric population with regards to the following anomalies: congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, dens in dente, odontomas, dentinogenesis imperfecta, gemination, fusion and concrescence. The radiographs (panographs mandatory), history forms and treatment progress records of 2,267 children (1,136 males and 1,131 females) were analyzed. Radiographs of poor quality were eliminated and attempts were made to include only children of Black American heritage. Prevalence rates established for a predominantly Black pediatric population were: 4.4%, congenitally missing teeth; 1.49%, supernumerary teeth; 0.26%, dentinogenesis imperfecta (Brandywine type); 0.44%, odontomas; 0.22%, gemination; and 0.12%, fusion. Evidence of dens in dente was found in only one erupted supernumerary maxillary paralateral, and the detection of only one case of concrescence occurred; both have prevalence rates of 0.04%. No other study has produced such a high rate of dentinogenesis imperfecta (.26%), except that conducted within the tri-racial group itself. In addition, if assumptions are to be made from this investigation for the general population, supernumeraries and odontomas may be present significantly more often in the Black than Caucasian pediatric population.</p>","PeriodicalId":79693,"journal":{"name":"NDA journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"6-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20514896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
