Evaluation and Management of Occlusal Disturbances among Temporomandibular Disorders Patients: A Report of Two Cases.

ABSTRACT

Th e occlusal interference is considered as contributing factor in temporomandibular disorders. It has a strong association with occlusal interferences causing occlusal disturbances leading to orthopedic instability of temporomandibular joint. Digital evaluation should be made to eliminate the premature contacts of the teeth and to establish the harmonious, functional occlusion. T-scan is a grid-based sensor technology and occlusal system that allows an easier and more accurate way to measure occlusal timing and the force. Th ese two case reports explains the steps involved in the correction of chronic myofacial pain dysfunction and premature occlusion of teeth with balancing side interferences, which are highly destructive for joint and teeth structure due to the amount and direction of force generated in temporomandibular patients.
