TMJ dysfunction can present with some symptoms<\/strong>: \"clicking\" when moving the arches; difficulty opening or closing the mouth; headaches and muscle pain; and difficulty finding the correct position for closing the teeth.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And this is where a gnathological visit can help.<\/strong><\/div>\n
After an initial general evaluation visit, a cone beam and an open-mouth and closed-mouth MRI may be necessary for further investigation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Additionally, it may be useful to perform a kinesiographic examination of mandibular and joint function.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Using a mask-like instrument connected to a device placed on the lower teeth, it detects jaw movements which are recorded on the computer\/i-Pad in the form of graphs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The exam is quick (20 minutes), completely painless and is a very valuable aid in the gnathological field to develop a diagnosis, following which the doctor will discuss the most appropriate therapy with the patient.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The kinesiographic technique<\/strong> consists of an investigation of mandibular kinematics using electronic equipment. This technique is based on the theory of neuromuscular occlusion, which involves finding a relationship between the dental arches such that the muscles do not have to make adaptive efforts to achieve it. This avoids muscle tension<\/strong>, which can be the cause of a series of different temporomandibular joint disorders.<\/p>\n

The kinesiographic analysis<\/strong> is performed first in a habitual position of hypothetical muscle contracture. Then, thanks to the use of TENS, we are able to relax all the muscles innervated by the trigeminal and facial muscles. Relaxation reduces or eliminates the tension generated by the forced functional adaptation to the existing occlusion. This allows us to always operate with full respect for the patient's physiology, rehabilitating them in the new occlusal position in which the muscles are in balance with each other.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TMJ dysfunctions can present with some symptoms: \u201cclicks\u201d in the movement of the arches; difficulty opening the mouth or in","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11022,"parent":11002,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11012","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prestazioni"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11012"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11023,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11012\/revisions\/11023"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11002"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/implantologiaoraleroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
