ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Apresentar as modalidades de tratamentos conservadoras e minimamente invasivas mais usadas disponíveis no arsenal terapêutico das desordens temporomandibulares (DTM). Revisão da literatura: Os objetivos do tratamento invariavelmente incluem redução da dor, diminuição das atividades parafuncionais e restauração da função. Dentre as alternativas conservadoras e minimamente invasivas, podemos citar os dispositivos interoclusais, exercícios terapêuticos, eletrofototermoterapia, agulhamento seco e infiltração de anestésicos locais em pontos gatilho, injeção de sangue autógeno para controle da luxação mandibular, terapia cognitivo comportamental, toxina botulínica, viscossuplementação, controle farmacológico da dor aguda e crônica. As DTMs afetam uma proporção significativa da população. Somente após o fracasso das opções não invasivas é que devem ser iniciados tratamentos mais invasivos e irreversíveis. No entanto, algumas condições, como a anquilose e neoplasias, por exemplo, são essencialmente tratadas cirurgicamente e tentativas de tratamentos conservadores podem trazer piora na qualidade de vida ou risco de morte. Considerações finais: Uma abordagem de equipe multidisciplinar para o manejo é essencial no cuidado fundamental de todos os pacientes com DTM, para que o tratamento possa ser especificamente adaptado às necessidades individuais do paciente.


Aim: To present the most widely used conservative and minimally invasive treatment modalities available in the therapeutic arsenal for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Literature review: Treatment goals invariably include pain reduction, reduction of parafunctional activities and restoration of function. Among the conservative and minimally invasive alternatives, we can mention interocclusal devices, therapeutic exercises, electrophototherapy, dry needling and infiltration of local anesthetics in trigger points, autogenous blood injection to control mandibular dislocation, cognitive behavioral therapy, botulinum toxin, viscosupplementation, pharmacological control of acute and chronic pain. TMD affects a considerable proportion of the population. Only after non-invasive options have failed should more invasive and irreversible treatments be initiated. However, some conditions, such as ankylosis and neoplasms, for example, are treated surgically and attempts at conservative treatments can lead to worsening quality of life or risk of death. Conclusions: A multidisciplinary team approach to management is essential in the fundamental care of all TMD patients, so that treatment can be specifically tailored to the patient's individual needs.

ABSTRACT

The present study proposed to describe, through a literature review, the use of new therapeutic management which allows for offering a better quality of life to individuals affected by these pathologies. A bibliographic search was conducted in the main health databases PUBMED (www.pubmed.gov) and Scholar Google (www.scholar.google.com.br), in which studies published from 1987 to 2023 were collected. In the first stage, the list of retrieved articles was examined by reading the titles and abstracts. In the second stage, the studies were selected by reading the full contents. Two authors (JDMM and DAQ) performed stages 1 and 2. Experimental, clinical, case-control, randomized controlled, and laboratory cohort studies, case reports, systematic reviews, and literature reviews, which were developed in living individuals, were included. Therefore, articles that did not deal with the subject in question, letters to the editor, opinion articles, duplicated literature in databases, and literature that did not address the variables under study, we re excluded. Contemporary dentistry uses alternative treatments capable of improving the patient's condition since a cure is not always possible. Therefore, the possibility of improving the quality of life becomes an important point to be reached. Evidence-based healthcare has made great advances in recent decades, especially in the areas of orofacial pain, TMD, and occlusion, especially related to orthodontic, prosthetic, and restorative care.


En el presente estudio se propuso describir, a través de una revisión bibliográfica, el uso de nuevos manejos terapéuticos que permitan brindar una mejor calidad de vida a los individuos afectados por estas patologías. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las principales bases de datos de salud PUBMED (www.pubmed.gov) y Scholar Google (www.scholar.google.com.br), en las que se recopilaron estudios publicados entre 1987 y 2023. En la primera etapa, se examinó la lista de artículos recuperados mediante la lectura de los títulos y resúmenes. En la segunda etapa, los estudios fueron seleccionados mediante la lectura del contenido completo. Dos autores (JDMM y DAQ) realizaron las etapas 1 y 2. Se incluyeron estudios de cohortes experimentales, clínicos, de casos y controles, controlados aleatorios y de laboratorio, informes de casos, revisiones sistemáticas y revisiones de la literatura, que se desarrollaron en individuos vivos. Por lo tanto, se excluyeron artículos que no trataran el tema en cuestión, cartas al editor, artículos de opinión, literatura duplicada en bases de datos y literatura que no abordara las variables en estudio. La odontología contemporánea utiliza tratamientos alternativos capaces de mejorar el estado del paciente, ya que no siempre es posible la curación. Por lo tanto, la posibilidad de mejorar la calidad de vida se convierte en un objetivo importante. La atención médica basada en la evidencia ha logrado grandes avances en las últimas décadas, especialmente en las áreas de dolor orofacial, TMD y oclusión, especialmente en relación con la atención de ortodoncia, prótesis y restauración.

ABSTRACT

Los trastornos temporomandibulares son complejos trastornos multisistémicos para los que, lamentablemente, siguen prevaleciendo los enfoques tradicionales odontocéntricos comunes de la investigación y la atención. Un comité designado por las Academias Nacionales de Ciencias, Ingeniería y Medicina de los Estados Unidos de América resumió importantes recomendaciones relativas a la urgente necesidad de transformar, desde el modelo predominantemente biomédico, la investigación, la educación/formación profesional y la atención al paciente para los trastornos temporomandibulares en el modelo biopsicosocial que es estándar en el resto de la medicina del dolor. La publicación del informe del estudio de consenso identifica once recomendaciones de corto y largo plazo respecto a brechas y oportunidades orientadas a la situación en Estados Unidos, que son igualmente aplicables a la situación en Chile. Las primeras cuatro recomendaciones se centran en la investigación básica y traslacional, la investigación en salud pública y el fortalecimiento de la investigación clínica. Las tres recomendaciones siguientes se refieren a la evaluación de riesgos, el diagnóstico y la difusión de guías de práctica clínica y métricas asistenciales para mejorar la atención de los pacientes y ampliar su acceso. Las recomendaciones octavas a décima proponen centros de excelencia para el tratamiento de los trastornos temporomandibulares y el dolor orofacial, la mejora de la formación en los centros profesionales y la ampliación de la formación continua especializada para los profesionales sanitarios. La undécima recomendación se centra en la educación de los pacientes y la reducción del estigma. Este artículo destaca las recomendaciones publicadas y aborda lo que debiesen considerar los profesionales chilenos, como primer paso hacia un gran esfuerzo por cambiar los paradigmas de investigación, tratamiento y educación sobre los trastornos temporomandibulares para los próximos años.


Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are complex multi-system disorders for which common traditional dental-centric approaches to research and care unfortunately continue to prevail. A committee appointed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAM) of the United States of America summarized important recommendations regarding the urgent need to transform, from the predominantly biomedical model, the research, professional education/training, and patient care for TMDs into the biopsychosocial model that is standard in the rest of pain medicine. The release of the Consensus Study Report identifies eleven short-term and long-term recommendations regarding gaps and opportunities oriented towards the situation in the US, which are equally applicable to the situation in Chile. The first four recommendations focus on basic and translational research, public health research and strengthening clinical research. The next three recommendations concern risk assessment, diagnostics, and dissemination of clinical practice guidelines and care metrics to improve patient care and expand its access. Recommendations eight to ten propose Centers of Excellence for Temporomandibular Disorders and Orofacial Pain Treatment, improving professional school education, and expanding specialized continuing education for healthcare providers. The eleventh recommendation focuses on patient education and stigma reduction. This article highlights the published recommendations and addresses what should be considered by Chilean professionals, as a first step of a major effort to shift TMD research, treatment, and education paradigms for the years to come.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo identificar e sintetizar evidências sobre estratégias utilizadas no treino da mastigação e deglutição em indivíduos com disfunção temporomandibular e dor orofacial. Estratégia de pesquisa revisão de escopo desenvolvida com consulta nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS, BBO, IBECS, BINACIS, CUMED, SOF, DeCS, Index Psi, LIPECS e ColecionaSUS (via BVS), Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane e na literatura cinzenta: Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), OpenGrey e Google Acadêmico. Critérios de seleção estudos quantitativos ou qualitativos, sem limite temporal e sem restrição de idioma, que continham os seguintes descritores ou palavras-chave: Articulação Temporomandibular, Síndrome da Disfunção da Articulação Temporomandibular, Transtornos da Articulação Temporomandibular, Dor Facial, Mastigação, Deglutição, Terapêutica, Terapia Miofuncional e Fonoaudiologia. Na primeira etapa, dois revisores fizeram a triagem independente dos estudos, por meio da leitura dos títulos e resumos. Na segunda etapa, os revisores leram, independentemente, os documentos pré-selecionados na íntegra. Em caso de divergência, um terceiro pesquisador foi consultado. Resultados as 11 publicações incluídas foram publicadas entre 2000 e 2018. As estratégias mais utilizadas foram o treino da mastigação bilateral simultânea, seguido da mastigação bilateral alternada. Na deglutição, foi proposto aumento do tempo mastigatório para reduzir o alimento em partículas menores e lubrificar melhor o bolo alimentar e treinos com apoio superior de língua. Conclusão o treinamento funcional demonstrou efetividade na reabilitação dos pacientes, embora não siga uma padronização e não seja realizado de forma isolada. Os estudos encontrados apresentam baixo nível de evidência. Considera-se fundamental a realização de estudos mais abrangentes e padronizados, como ensaios clínicos randomizados.


ABSTRACT Purpose To identify and synthesize evidence on strategies used to train chewing and swallowing in individuals with temporomandibular disorder and orofacial pain. Research strategy Scoping review conducted by search in MEDLINE, LILACS, BBO, IBECS, BINACIS, CUMED, SOF, DeCS, Index Psi, LIPECS, and ColecionaSUS (via VHL), Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and the grey literature: Brazilian Digital Theses and Dissertations Library (BDTD), OpenGrey, and Google Scholar. Selection criteria Quantitative or qualitative studies, with no restriction on time or language of publication, with the following descriptors or keywords: Temporomandibular Joint; Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome; Temporomandibular Joint Disorders; Facial Pain; chewing (Mastication); swallowing (Deglutition); Therapeutics; Myofunctional Therapy; Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. In the first stage, two reviewers independently screened the studies by title and abstract reading. In the second stage, the reviewers independently read the preselected documents in full text. In case of divergences, a third researcher was consulted. Results The 11 documents included in the review were published between 2000 and 2018. The mostly used training strategies were simultaneous bilateral mastication/chewing, followed by alternating bilateral mastication. In swallowing, increased mastication time was proposed to break food into smaller bits and better lubricate the bolus; training with upper tongue support was also indicated. Conclusion Functional training proved to be effective in rehabilitation, although it was not standardized or performed alone. The studies had low levels of evidence. It is essential to conduct more encompassing and standardized studies, such as randomized clinical trials.

ABSTRACT

Dentre as dores orofaciais crônicas, as disfunções temporomandibulares são as mais comuns. Essa disfunção causa dor, tendo impacto nas atividades do dia a dia e na qualidade de vida das pessoas. Objetivo: verificar os efeitos da ozonioterapia no tratamento e na diminuição da dor da disfunção temporomandibular. Métodos: foi realizada uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed, Medline Bireme, Lilacs e Cochrane Library, a partir dos descritores: "Temporomandibular Joint Disorders", "Ozone" e "Ozone therapy" e do equivalente em português "ozonioterapia", nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, no período de março a junho de 2019. Resultados: foram encontrados 16 artigos, mas, após uma análise minuciosa e a aplicação dos critérios de exclusão, foram selecionados 4 artigos completos que preencheram os critérios de inclusão exigidos. Conclusão: a ozonioterapia é um método eficaz e seguro para o tratamento da dor relacionada à disfunção temporomandibular. As quatro pesquisas incluídas neste estudo mostraram que a articulação temporomandibular se cura muito mais rapidamente com a ozonioterapia do que com as outras terapias tradicionais que foram comparadas. Todavia, é importante que se façam futuros estudos para padronizar a questão das concentrações que devem ser utilizadas, bem como o tempo de tratamento da disfunção temporomandibular.


Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are the most common among chronic orofacial pains. This disorder causes pain and it affects daily activities and the quality of life of people. Objective: to verify the effects of ozone therapy on the treatment and pain decrease in temporomandibular disorders. Methods: A systematic review was performed in the SciELO, PubMed, Medline Bireme, Lilacs, and Cochrane Library databases using the descriptors: "Temporomandibular Joint Disorders", "Ozone", and "Ozone therapy", in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, from March 2019 to June 2019. Results: Sixteen studies were found and, after a thorough analysis and the application of exclusion criteria, four complete studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected. Conclusion: Ozone therapy is an effective and safe method for the treatment of TMD-related pain. The four surveys included in this study showed that the temporomandibular joint heals very faster with ozone therapy than with other traditional therapies that were compared. However, further studies are required to standardize the issue of concentrations used and the time of treatment for temporomandibular disorders.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: revisão integrativa sobre os principais métodos de tratamento conservador para disfunção temporomandibular, sendo eles: placa oclusal, aconselhamento e farmacoterapia. Materiais e método: a busca foi feita nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs e Google Acadêmico, utilizando os seguintes descritores: "counseling and temporomandibular joint"; "counseling and facial pain"; "counseling and temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome"; "counseling and temporomandibular joint and drug therapy"; e "counseling and drug therapy and facial pain". Resultados: no total, foram encontrados 314 estudos nesta pesquisa, porém, somente 8 foram incluídos no estudo. Esses comprovam a eficácia desses métodos de tratamento, fazendo com que o paciente obtenha diminuição da sintomatologia dolorosa, melhora das funções mastigatórias, além de proporcionar um alívio na tensão muscular, devido ao relaxamento das estruturas relacionadas. A placa oclusal tende a diminuir as forças oclusais aplicadas, redistribuindo a carga mastigatória sobre as superfícies oclusais. Alguns fármacos (anti-inflamatórios, antidepressivos e relaxantes musculares) são capazes de minimizar a sintomatologia dolorosa, proporcionando uma melhora na qualidade do sono e a redução de episódios de dor intensa. Por sua vez, o aconselhamento orienta os pacientes para que possam evitar atitudes que piorem sua doença, educando-os e conscientizando-os sobre seus hábitos parafuncionais, além de reduzir os fatores causadores de sintomatologia dolorosa. Conclusão: conseguimos observar que esses tratamentos apresentam índices de sucesso relevantes, quando se referem à diminuição dos sintomas, especialmente o aconselhamento, que ainda é uma terapia conservadora pouco explorada. Faz-se necessária a realização de mais estudos neste campo, para que sejam obtidos resultados cada vez mais concretos e conclusivos. (AU)


Objective: integrative review on the main methods of conservative treatment for Temporomandibular Dysfunction, being occlusal plaque, counseling and pharmacotherapy. Materials and method: the search was done in the databases PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs and Google Scholar using the descriptors: "counseling" and "temporomandibular joint", "counseling" and "facial pain", "counseling" and "temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome", "counseling" and "temporomandibular joint" and "drug therapy" and "counseling" and "drug therapy" and "facial pain". Results: in total were found 314 studies in this work, but only 8 were included. These tests prove the efficacy of these treatment methods, causing to the patient a decrease in painful symptoms, an increase in masticatory functions, and also providing a relief in muscle tension due to the relaxation of related structures. The occlusal plaque tends to decrease the forces applied in the occlusion, preventing the muscles from exerting excessive force. Some drugs (anti-inflammatories, antidepressants and muscle relaxants) are able to minimize the painful symptomatology, providing an improvement in the quality of sleep and reduction of episodes of intense pain. In turn, counseling guides patients to avoid attitudes that worsen their illness, educating them and making them aware of their parafunctional habits, as well as reducing the factors that cause painful symptoms. Conclusion: we could observe that these treatments present relevant success indexes when it refers to the decrease of the symptoms, especially the counseling, which is still a little explored conservative therapy. It is still necessary to carry out further studies in this field in order to obtain increasingly concrete and conclusive results. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: esclarecer a importância de interação diagnóstica, tratamento e desordens temporomandibulares. Revisão de literatura: a necessidade de conhecimento para avaliar o funcionamento do sistema estomatognático identificando possíveis desordens temporomandibulares e mialgias faciais é de suma importância. Por meio de anamnese e exame clínico detalhado, é possível selecionar e instituir um plano de tratamento. Tratar desordens temporomandibulares e mialgias faciais associadas às deformidades dentoesqueléticas depende de um diagnóstico correto e, principalmente, de um plano de tratamento adequado, pois, havendo equívoco, poderá resultar em um mau prognóstico. As modalidades de tratamento das desordens articulares incluem os tratamentos conservadores e os não conservadores. Presume-se que a grande maioria dos pacientes que buscam um tratamento cirúrgico baseiam-se nas recomendações dos ortodontistas, porém, nem sempre enfocam os aspectos esqueletais de uma má oclusão severa, o que pode não ser conduzido da maneira mais adequada para o reestabelecimento da funcionalidade facial. Considerações finais: condutas terapêuticas instituídas nas desordens temporomandibulares não orientadas, descartando hipóteses fatoriais diversas, podem comprometer um futuro tratamento ou agravar a situação patológica presente.(AU)


Objective: to clarify the importance of diagnostic interaction, treatment and temporomandibular disorders. Literature review: the need for knowledge in assessing the functioning of the stomatognathic system by identifying possible temporomandibular disorders and facial myalgias is of paramount importance. Through anamnesis and detailed clinical examination it is possible to select and institute a treatment plan. Treating temporomandibular disorders and facial myalgias associated with dento-skeletal deformities depends on a correct diagnosis and, above all, on an adequate treatment plan, since doing so may result in poor prognosis. The mode of treatment of joint disorders includes conservative and non-conservative treatments. It is presumed that the vast majority of patients seeking surgical treatment are based on the recommendations of orthodontists, but they do not always focus on the skeletal aspects of severe malocclusion, which may not be conducted in the most appropriate way for reestablishment of facial functionality. Final considerations: therapeutic behaviors instituted in non-oriented temporomandibular disorders, discarding several factorial hypotheses may compromise a future treatment or exacerbate the present pathological situation.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: As a multifactorial disease, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) require a complex therapeutic approach, being noninvasive therapies the first option for most patients. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to analyze the most common non-invasive therapies used for TMD management. Methods: The review was done by searching electronic databases to identify controlled clinical trials related to pharmacologic and non-invasive treatments. Of all potential articles found, 35 were included in this review. Results: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), occlusal splints (OS) and oral exercises/ behavior education (OE/BE) were the most common therapies used. LLLT showed significant results in pain and movement improvement in most studies. OS was usually combined to other therapies and resulted in improvement of pain. OE/BE showed significant results when combined with ultrasound, LLLT, and manual therapy. Conclusions: Non-invasive treatments can provide pain relief and should be prescribed before surgical procedures. LLLT was the therapy with the higher number of studies showing positive results. Based in heterogeneity of treatment protocols, diagnostic and outcomes criteria used, new well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCT) are necessary. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: comparar a eficácia de dois protocolos de tratamento para disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) de origem muscular. Sujeitos e método: Estudantes da Faculdade Especializada na Área de Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul foram selecionados por meio de questionário, para avaliar a presença de sinais e sintomas de DTM e diagnóstico de DTM muscular pelos Critérios de Diagnóstico para Transtornos da Pesquisa Temporomandibular. Dez estudantes compuseram a amostra, divididos em dois grupos, de acordo com o protocolo de tratamento: G1 ­ hipertermia induzida, exercícios mandibulares e massagem; e G2 ­ agulhamento seco, hipertermia induzida, exercícios mandibulares e massagem. Os alunos foram instruídos a realizar o protocolo do tratamento G1 todos os dias em casa e na instituição de ensino por três sessões, que ocorreram a cada cinquenta dias. O agulhamento seco foi realizado no G2 apenas nas segunda e terceira sessões de tratamento. Para avaliar a efetividade dos dois tratamentos antes e após cada sessão, avaliaram-se: abertura bucal (AB), por meio de régua milimetrada; dor, pela escala visual analógica; força de mordida (FM), usando um medidor de força digital; e qualidade de vida, avaliada imediatamente antes do início do tratamento e depois do término do tratamento. Resultados: a dor mostrou diferença estatística significativa no G2 após a segunda sessão (p=0,020) e a terceira sessão (p=0,047). Os demais resultados mostram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos (p>0,05). Conclusão: considera-se que neste estudo piloto ambos os tratamentos foram eficazes para DTM muscular, uma vez que todos os pacientes apresentaram melhora dos sintomas. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os tratamentos, exceto a dor pós-procedimento, causada pela técnica do agulhamento seco. (AU)


Objective: the present study aims to compare the efficacy of two treatment protocols for temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) of muscular origin. Subjects and method: students of the Faculdade Especializada na área de Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul, that were selected through the questionnaire to evaluate the presence of TMD signs and symptoms and diagnosis of muscular TMD from the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Research Disorders. Ten students composed the sample, divided into two groups according to the treatment protocol: hyperthermia induced by G1, mandibular exercises and massage; G2 ‒ dry needling, induced hyperthermia, mandibular and massage exercises. Students were instructed to complete the G1 treatment protocol every day at home and at the educational institution for three sessions that occurred every fifty days. Dry needling was performed in G2 only in the second and third treatment sessions. To evaluate the effectiveness of the two treatments before and after each session, we evaluated: mouth opening (AB), through a millimeter ruler; visual analogue scale; bite force (FM) using a digital force gauge and quality of life was assessed immediately prior to initiation of treatment and after termination of treatment. Results: pain obtained a statistically significant difference in G2 after the second session (p=0.020) and the third session (p=0.047). The other results show that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: it is considered that in this pilot study both treatments were effective for muscular TMD, since all the patients presented improvement of the symptoms. There was no statistically significant difference between treatments, except for post- -procedure pain, caused by the dry needling technique. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El manejo inadecuado del dolor es frecuente en Urgencias. El objetivo fue analizar el manejo del dolor de niños con patología infecciosa o traumática del área facial/oral en Urgencias y evaluar el cumplimiento y satisfacción sobre la analgesia prescrita al momento del alta. Población y métodos. Estudio transversal, observacional y analítico en niños que acudieron a Urgencias con patología infecciosa/traumática de la región facial/oral durante 2 meses. Se recogieron el manejo del dolor en Urgencias, la analgesia prescrita para el domicilio y, tras el contacto telefónico con los padres, el tratamiento realizado y su adecuación al dolor del niño. Resultados. Fueron incluidos 252 pacientes (edad media de 4,5 años, desvío estándar 3,89). En 8,7%, figuraba la evaluación del dolor en triaje y, en 3,6%, en el informe médico. Se administró analgesia en Urgencias al 41,3%. Al momento del alta, en un 13,9%, no se prescribió analgesia; en 25,4%, se prescribió pautada y, en 60,3%, a demanda. Los pediatras usaron más analgesia pautada que los cirujanos (34,4% vs. 16,5%, p < 0,01). En el domicilio, no administraron analgesia en el 39,3%; en un 36,1%, pautada y, en un 23%, a demanda. Existió escasa correlación entre la pauta al momento del alta y la administrada en el domicilio (kappa: 0,178). Se consideró la analgesia adecuada en el 84%, con más frecuencia en patología traumática que infecciosa (85,7% vs. 14,3%, p < 0,01). Conclusiones. Se observó escasa evaluación y tratamiento del dolor en Urgencias. La prescripción más usada fue a demanda en vez de pautada, al contrario de lo recomendado en las guías. El control analgésico fue mejor en patología traumática que infecciosa.


Introduction. An inadequate pain management is common in the emergency department. Our objective was to analyze pain management among children with an orofacial infection or trauma in the emergency department and to assess compliance and satisfaction with analgesia prescribed at discharge. Population and methods. Cross-sectional, observational and analytical study in children attending the emergency department for an orofacial infection or trauma over 2 months. Pain management in the emergency department, analgesia prescribed at home and, following a call to parents, treatment provided and its adequacy to control pain were registered. Results. In total, 252patients (mean age: 4.5 years, SD: 3.89) were included. Pain assessment was recorded at the triage for 8.7%, and in the medical report, for 3.6%. Analgesia was administered to 41.3% in the emergency room. At discharge, no analgesia was prescribed to 13.9%; scheduled analgesia, to 25.4%; and as needed, to 60.3%. Pediatricians prescribed scheduled analgesia more frequently than surgeons (34.4% versus 16.5%, p < 0.01). At home, no analgesia was administered to 39.3%; scheduled analgesia, to 36.1%; and as needed, to 23%. There is little correlation between prescription at discharge and at home (Kappa: 0.178). Analgesia was considered adequate in 84% of cases, and was more frequent in trauma injuries than in infections (85.7% versus 14.3%, p < 0.01). Conclusions. Pain assessment and management was scarce in the emergency department. The most common prescription was as needed, contrary to what is recommended in the guidelines. Analgesic control worked better for trauma injuries than for infections.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT This case report aims to evaluate the treatment of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) of muscular origin by associating facial massage (FM), dry needling (DN), and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The pre- and post-treatment evaluations consisted of clinical examinations based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) for TMD, pain intensity quantification by means of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), mandibular movement measurement, and electromyographic (EMG) analysis of the masseter and temporal muscles. Post-therapy assessment indicated a decrease in pain sites of 58%, in pain intensity mean (1.3), and an increase in the maximum aperture of 10 mm, in addition to normalization of EMG signals. We conclude that, after application of the treatment protocol, there was a decrease in painful sites, gain in amplitude of mandibular movements, and normalization of EMG activity.


RESUMO O objetivo do presente relato de caso é avaliar a associação entre a Massagem Facial (MF), Agulhamento a Seco (AS) e Terapia a Laser de Baixa Intensidade (TLBI) no tratamento da Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM) de origem muscular. Paciente com DTM crônica foi submetida a 4 sessões de associação entre a MF, AS e TLBI. A avaliação inicial e final foi composta por exame clínico baseado nos Critérios diagnósticos de pesquisa para DTM (RDC - Research Diagnostic Criteria), quantificação da intensidade da dor por meio da Escala visual analógica de dor, mensuração dos movimentos mandibulares e análise eletromiográfica (EMG) dos músculos masseter e temporal. Na pós-terapia, foi observada a redução de 58% dos sítios dolorosos, da média (1,3) da intensidade de dor e aumento de 10 mm na abertura máxima, além da normalização dos sinais EMG. Conclui-se que, após a aplicação de protocolo de tratamento, houve a redução dos sítios dolorosos, ganho de amplitude dos movimentos mandibulares e normalização da atividade EMG.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Studies to assess the effects of therapies on pain and masticatory muscle function are scarce. Objective To investigate the short-term effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) by examining pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT) and electromyography (EMG) activity in patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Material and Methods Forty patients with myofascial TMD were enrolled in this randomized placebo-controlled trial and were divided into two groups: active (n=20) and placebo (n=20) TENS. Outcome variables assessed at baseline (T0), immediately after (T2) and 48 hours after treatment (T1) were: pain intensity with the aid of a visual analogue scale (VAS); PPT of masticatory and cervical structures; EMG activity during mandibular rest position (MR), maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and habitual chewing (HC). Two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was applied to the data and the significance level was set at 5%. Results There was a decrease in the VAS values at T1 and T2 when compared with T0 values in the active TENS group (p<0.050). The PPT between-group differences were significant at T1 assessment of the anterior temporalis and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and T2 for the masseter and the SCM (p<0.050). A significant EMG activity reduction of the masseter and anterior temporalis was presented in the active TENS during MR at T1 assessment when compared with T0 (p<0.050). The EMG activity of the anterior temporalis was significantly higher in the active TENS during MVC at T1 and T2 when compared with placebo (p<0.050). The EMG activity of the masseter and anterior temporalis muscle was significantly higher in the active TENS during HC at T1 when compared with placebo (p<0.050). Conclusions The short-term therapeutic effects of TENS are superior to those of the placebo, because of reported facial pain, deep pain sensitivity and masticatory muscle EMG activity improvement.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the effect of a rehabilitation program based on cervical mobilization and exercise on clinical signs and mandibular function in subjects with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Material and Methods: Single-group pre-post test, with baseline comparison. Subjects Twelve women (22.08±2.23 years) with myofascial pain and mixed TMD according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. Outcome measures Subjects were evaluated three times: twice before (baseline phase) and once after intervention. Self-reported pain, jaw function [according to the Mandibular Functional Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ)], pain-free maximum mouth opening (MMO), and pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) of both masseter and temporalis muscles were obtained. Baseline and post-intervention differences were investigated, and effect size was estimated through Cohen’s d coefficient. Results Jaw function improved 7 points on the scale after the intervention (P=0.019), and self-reported pain was significantly reduced (P=0.009). Pain-free MMO varied from 32.3±8.8 mm to 38±8.8 mm and showed significant improvement (P=0.017) with moderate effect size when compared to the baseline phase. PPT also increased with moderate effect size, and subjects had the baseline values changed from 1.23±0.2 kg/cm2 to 1.4±0.2 kg/cm2 in the left masseter (P=0.03), from 1.31±0.28 kg/cm2 to 1.51±0.2 kg/cm2 in the right masseter (P>0.05), from 1.32±0.2 kg/cm2 to 1.46±0.2 kg/cm2 in the left temporalis (P=0.047), and from 1.4±0.2 kg/cm2 to 1.67±0.3 kg/cm2 in the right temporalis (P=0.06). Conclusions The protocol caused significant changes in pain-free MMO, self-reported pain, and functionality of the stomatognathic system in subjects with myofascial TMD, regardless of joint involvement. Even though these differences are statistically significant, their clinical relevance is still questionable.

ABSTRACT

Objective The benefit of the use of some intraoral devices in arthrogenous temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients is still unknown. This study assessed the effectiveness of the partial use of intraoral devices and counseling in the management of patients with disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) and arthralgia.Materials and Methods A total of 60 DDWR and arthralgia patients were randomly divided into three groups: group I (n=20) wore anterior repositioning occlusal splints (ARS); group II (n=20) wore the Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Clenching Suppression System devices (NTI-tss); and group III (n=20) only received counseling for behavioral changes and self-care (the control group). The first two groups also received counseling. Follow-ups were performed after 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months. In these sessions, patients were evaluated by means of a visual analogue scale, pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), maximum range of motion and TMJ sounds. Possible adverse effects were also recorded, such as discomfort while using the device and occlusal changes. The results were analyzed with ANOVA, Tukey’s and Fisher Exact Test, with a significance level of 5%.Results Groups I and II showed improvement in pain intensity at the first follow-up. This progress was recorded only after 3 months in Group III. Group II showed an increased in joint sounds frequency. The PPT values, mandibular range of motion and the number of occlusal contacts did not change significantly.Conclusion The simultaneous use of intraoral devices (partial time) plus behavioral modifications seems to produce a more rapid pain improvement in patients with painful DDWR. The use of NTI-tss could increase TMJ sounds. Although intraoral devices with additional counseling should be considered for the management of painful DDWR, dentists should be aware of the possible side effects of the intraoral device’s design.

ABSTRACT

Oral infections may play a role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Objective To describe the orofacial pain, dental characteristics and associated factors in patients with Alzheimer's Disease that underwent dental treatment. Method 29 patients with mild AD diagnosed by a neurologist were included. They fulfilled the Mini Mental State Exam and Pfeffer's questionnaire. A dentist performed a complete evaluation: clinical questionnaire; research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders; McGill pain questionnaire; oral health impact profile; decayed, missing and filled teeth index; and complete periodontal investigation. The protocol was applied before and after the dental treatment. Periodontal treatments (scaling), extractions and topic nystatin were the most frequent. Results There was a reduction in pain frequency (p=0.014), mandibular functional limitations (p=0.011) and periodontal indexes (p<0.05), and an improvement in quality of life (p=0.009) and functional impairment due to cognitive compromise (p<0.001) after the dental treatment. Orofacial complaints and intensity of pain also diminished. Conclusion The dental treatment contributed to reduce co-morbidities associated with AD and should be routinely included in the assessment of these patients. .


Infecções orais podem ter um papel na doença de Alzheimer (DA). Objetivo Descrever as características orofaciais, dor, odontológicas e fatores associados em doentes com DA submetidos a tratamento dentário. Método 29 doentes diagnosticados com DA por neurologista foram avaliados através do Mini Exame do Estado Mental e questionário Pfeffer. O exame odontológico foi realizado antes e depois do tratamento dentário e incluiu: questionário clínico; critérios diagnósticos de pesquisa para disfunção temporomandibular; questionário de dor McGill; protocolo de impacto de saúde oral; dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados; e avaliação periodontal. Os procedimentos mais frequentes foram raspagem periodontal, exodontias e prescrição de nistatina tópica. Resultados Houve uma redução na frequência de dor (p=0,014), limitações mandibulares (p=0,011), índices periodontais (p<0.05), e melhora na qualidade de vida (p=0,009) e no comprometimento funcional e cognitivo (p<0,001) após o tratamento dentário. Queixas orofaciais e intensidade de dor também diminuíram. Conclusão O tratamento dentário contribuiu para reduzir comorbidades associadas à DA e deveria ser incluído na rotina de avaliação desses pacientes. .

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and eating disorders (ED) affect function and parafunction of the oral cavity and have high rates of medical and psychological comorbidity. However, little is known about the possible associations between them, and few studies have investigated the existence of such associations. METHODS: A search was conducted on the SciELO, LILACS, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases to find relevant articles written in English and Portuguese. Only studies involving human beings were included, and there was no limit for year of publication. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence of the correlation between TMD and ED, but their comorbidity must be better understood. The presence of depressive symptoms is an aggravating factor that must also be taken into account during the diagnosis and treatment of those patients (AU)


INTRODUÇÃO: As disfunções temporomandibulares (DTM) e os transtornos alimentares (TA) envolvem a função e a parafunção da cavidade oral e apresentam altos índices de comorbidade médica e psicológica. No entanto, pouco se sabe sobre as possíveis associações entre essas entidades clínicas, e poucos artigos avaliaram a existência de uma relação elas. MÉTODOS: Uma busca foi realizada nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS e PubMed/MEDLINE a fim de encontrar artigos relevantes escritos em inglês e português. Apenas estudos envolvendo seres humanos foram incluídos, e não foi estabelecido um limite para ano de publicação. RESULTADOS E CONCLUSÕES: Há evidências da correlação entre DTM e TA, mas essa comorbidade precisa ser melhor compreendida. A presença de sintomas depressivos é um fator agravante que também precisa ser levado em consideração durante o diagnóstico e tratamento desses pacientes (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a multifactorial disease. For this reason, it is difficult to obtain an accurate and correct diagnosis. In this context, conservative treatments, including therapeutic exercises classified as stretching, relaxation, coordination, strengthening and endurance, are oftentimes prescribed. OBJECTIVE: Thus, the aim of the present article was to conduct a literature review concerning the types of exercises available and the efficacy for the treatment of muscular TMD. METHODS: The review included researches carried out between 2000 and 2010, indexed on Web of Science, PubMed, LILACS and BBO. Moreover, the following keywords were used: Exercise, physical therapy, facial pain, myofascial pain syndrome, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome. Studies that did not consider the subject "TMD and exercises", used post-surgery exercises and did not use validated criteria for the diagnosis of TMD (RDC/TMD) were not included. RESULTS: The results comprised seven articles which proved therapeutic exercises to be effective for the treatment of muscular TMD. However, these studies are seen as limited, since therapeutic exercises were not applied alone, but in association with other conservative procedures. In addition, they present some drawbacks such as: Small samples, lack of control group and no detailed exercise description which should have included intensity, repetition, frequency and duration. CONCLUSION: Although therapeutic exercises are considered effective in the management of muscular TMD, the development of randomized clinical trials is necessary, since many existing studies are still based on the clinical experience of professionals.


INTRODUÇÃO: a disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é uma doença multifatorial, geralmente com evolução benigna. Por esse motivo, é difícil a obtenção de um diagnóstico inicial preciso e correto, levando a um consenso na prescrição de tratamentos conservadores, entre eles, os exercícios terapêuticos, que são classificados em exercícios de alongamento, relaxamento, coordenação, fortalecimento e resistência. OBJETIVO: o objetivo desse estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura dos trabalhos que apresentam os tipos de exercícios disponíveis e sua eficácia para o tratamento das DTM musculares. MÉTODOS: foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico, de 2000 a 2010, nas bases se dados Web of Science, PubMed, LILACS e BBO, cruzando os seguintes descritores: exercise, physical therapy, facial pain, myofascial pain syndrome e temporomandibular joint disfunction syndrome. Foram excluídos os trabalhos que não consideravam o tema exercícios e DTM, utilizavam exercícios pós-cirúrgicos e que não utilizavam critérios validados para o diagnóstico da DTM (RDC/TMD). RESULTADOS: resultaram sete artigos, que mostraram que os exercícios terapêuticos foram efetivos para o tratamento de DTM muscular. No entanto, uma das limitações desses estudos foi a não utilização exclusiva dos exercícios durante o tratamento, mas sim sua associação com outros procedimentos conservadores. Outras dificuldades apresentadas foram as amostras pequenas, a falta de grupo controle e a não descrição minuciosa da realização do exercício quanto à intensidade, número de repetições, frequência e duração. CONCLUSÃO: apesar dos exercícios terapêuticos apresentarem eficácia no controle da DTM muscular, é necessário o desenvolvimento de ensaios clínicos randomizados sobre o assunto, pois, muitos dos trabalhos existentes ainda são baseados na experiência clínica do profissional.
