REGISTRATION OF JOINT SOUND IN PATIENTS WITH DYSFUNCTIONS SYNDROME TMJ ASSOCIATED WITH OCCLUSION DISORDERS

Abstract

The aim of the study is to develop a functional hardware method for determining and recording sounds in TMJ dysfunctions syndrome. Material and methods: The study included 54 patients with temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome who had previously undergone endodontic dental treatment. All patients had occlusion disorders due to errors after dental filling restoration. To diagnose the TMJ, a CT scan was used. To optimize diagnosis of TMJ sound the modified portable device for determining TMJ sound and a computer program to analyze and process the data obtained were used. All the patients were given full-fledged endodontic treatment and restoration of the crown part, taking into account anatomical features. The complex therapy also included therapy and magnetic laser therapy. Results: The dynamics of the complex treatment of patients diagnosed with TMJ dysfunction syndrome showed that after treatment, the clinical symptoms gradually decreased and disappeared at the end of treatment. CT scan a year after treatment showed a normal ratio of TMJ elements. Registration of sounds before treatment and after complex treatment showed a decrease and complete disappearance after 4 months. Conclusions: The dysfunction syndrome TMJ is amenable to effective conservative treatment. Proposed modified portable device for determining TMJ sounds provides more accurate auscultation and analysis of sounds in dysfunctions syndrome TMJ, to record and store sounds in a digital or graphic image, makes it possible to analyze the dynamics of treatment.
