Change in the clinical status of a patient with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint after osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions

Abstract

The described clinical case shows positive results of osteopathic correction in the complex treatment of syndrome of pain dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (DTMDJ). Diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome attract attention because of the ambiguity of the etiology, pathogenesis and lack of effectiveness the treatment algorithm to achieve a stable result. In order to increase the adaptive capabilities of the body to the changes occurring in the stomatognathic system in the treatment of DTMDJ, we have developed and put into practice an interdisciplinary principle of diagnosis and treatment, which consists in an objective assessment of the clinical manifestations of somatic dysfunctions and their elimination before the start of dental intervention, which is carried out with adequate osteopathic support, leveling the increased load on the adaptation mechanisms. The dental intervention itself is carried out with adequate osteopathic support, leveling the increased load on the adaptation mechanisms. Interdisciplinary interaction allows you to optimize the approach to dental treatment.
