ABSTRACT

Introduction: Patients presenting Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are common in our daily clinical practice. One of the possible conditions that lead to TMD is the habitual chewing side syndrome. Methods: In this case report a clinical approach is presented to manage the TMD related to unilateral vicious mastication. A 42 years old woman presented reporting headaches, difficulty to open mouth, presence of sensitivity in the left ear and TMJ region, soreness on the left side temporal region and sensitivity in the anterior inferior teeth. It was noted that the patient habitually clenched and ground teeth. Patient mentioned chew more on the left side. Results: After confirming the unilateral mastication, a modified therapy based on the Neuro occlusal Rehabilitation was applied through the use of a splint. After 60 days the patient described absence of the previous symptoms and pain relief. Conclusion: The evaluation of the masticatory pattern is often neglected; however, it is of great importance since it can lead to several conditions such as condyle wear, pain, alteration of the occlusal plane, deviation of the medial line, deviation of the mandible at mouth opening, bone alterations, Temporomandibular joint(TMJ) hypofunction, headache, among others.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: The aim of this multi-center retrospective study was to quantify the changes in alveolar bone height and thickness after using two different rapid palatal expansion (RPE) activation protocols, and to determine whether a more rapid rate of expansion is likely to cause more adverse effects, such as alveolar tipping, dental tipping, fenestration and dehiscence of anchorage teeth. Methods: The sample consisted of pre- and post-expansion records from 40 subjects (age 8-15 years) who underwent RPE using a 4-banded Hyrax appliance as part of their orthodontic treatment to correct posterior buccal crossbites. Subjects were divided into two groups according to their RPE activation rates (0.5 mm/day and 0.8 mm/day; n = 20 each group). Three-dimensional images for all included subjects were evaluated using Dolphin Imaging Software 11.7 Premium. Maxillary base width, buccal and palatal cortical bone thickness, alveolar bone height, and root angulation and length were measured. Significance of the changes in the measurements was evaluated using Wilcoxon signed-rank test and comparisons between groups were done using ANOVA. Significance was defined at p ≤ 0.05. Results: RPE activation rates of 0.5 mm per day (Group 1) and 0.8 mm per day (Group 2) caused significant increase in arch width following treatment; however, Group 2 showed greater increases compared to Group 1 (p < 0.01). Buccal alveolar height and width decreased significantly in both groups. Both treatment protocols resulted in significant increases in buccal-lingual angulation of teeth; however, Group 2 showed greater increases compared to Group 1 (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Both activation rates are associated with significant increase in intra-arch widths. However, 0.8 mm/day resulted in greater increases. The 0.8 mm/day activation rate also resulted in more increased dental tipping and decreased buccal alveolar bone thickness over 0.5 mm/day.


RESUMO Introdução: o objetivo do presente estudo retrospectivo multicêntrico foi quantificar as alterações na altura e na espessura do osso alveolar após o uso de dois diferentes protocolos de ativação na expansão rápida da maxila (ERM), bem como determinar se uma taxa de expansão mais rápida tem maior probabilidade de causar mais efeitos adversos, tais como inclinação dos dentes e do processo alveolar, fenestração e deiscência dos dentes de ancoragem. Métodos: a amostra consistiu de registros pré- e pós-expansão de 40 indivíduos (com idades entre 8 e 15 anos) que se submeteram à expansão rápida da maxila usando o aparelho Hyrax com quatro bandas como parte de seu tratamento ortodôntico para correção da mordida cruzada posterior. Os indivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com a taxa de ativação na expansão rápida da maxila (0,5 mm/dia e 0,8 mm/dia; n = 20 cada grupo). Imagens tridimensionais de todos os indivíduos da amostra foram avaliadas com o uso do software Dolphin Imaging v. 11.7 Premium. Foram analisadas as seguintes medidas: largura da base da maxila, espessura das corticais ósseas vestibular e lingual, altura do osso alveolar, angulação e comprimento das raízes. A significância das alterações nessas medidas foi avaliada com o teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon e as comparações entre os grupos foram feitas usando a ANOVA. A significância foi definida como p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: as taxas de ativação na ERM de 0,5mm/dia (Grupo 1) e 0,8mm/dia (Grupo 2) causaram aumento significativo na largura da arcada após o tratamento. Porém, o Grupo 2 apresentou maior aumento, se comparado ao Grupo 1 (p < 0,01). A altura e a largura do osso alveolar vestibular diminuíram significativamente em ambos os grupos. Ambos os protocolos de tratamento resultaram em aumento significativo na inclinação vestibulolingual dos dentes. Porém, o Grupo 2 apresentou maior aumento, em comparação ao Grupo 1 (p < 0,01). Conclusão: ambas as taxas de ativação estão associadas a um aumento significativo nas larguras intra-arcada; entretanto, a taxa de 0,8mm/dia resultou em maior aumento. Essa mesma taxa de ativação também resultou em maior inclinação dos dentes e em redução mais acentuada da espessura do osso alveolar vestibular.
