17
Q

What advice can be offered to patients for TMD?

A
  • reassurance
  • soft diet, masticate bilaterally
  • no wide opening, no chewing gum
  • don’t incise foods, cut food into small pieces
  • stop parafunctional habits
  • support mouth on opening (ie yawning)
18
Q

A
  • physiotherapy
  • massage and heat
  • acupuncture
  • relaxation and mindfulness
  • ultrasound therapy
  • TENS
  • hypnotherapy
19
Q

  • anterior repositioning splint
20
Q

How does ultrasound therapy treat TMD?

A
  • creates heat
  • uncommon
21
Q

What is important when providing a splint for TMD?

A
  • all occlusal surfaces must be covered
  • if not all surfaces covered, when used long term can cause over eruption of uncovered teeth
22
Q

How do bite raising appliances treat TMD?

A
  • make wearers aware of habits
  • should be worn at time of parafunction, they stabilise the occlusion and improve function of MOM
  • protect teeth in cases of grinding
23
Q

What are the irreversible treatment options for TMD?

A
  • occlusal adjustment
  • TMJ surgery
24
Q

What are the surgery options for TMD?

A
  • arthrocentesis
  • arthroscopy
  • disc-repositioning
  • disc repair/removal
  • high condylar shave
  • total joint replacement
25
Q

What causes clicking in the TMJ?

A
  • disc displacement where the disc has slipped anteriorly
  • the condyle has to overcome the obstruction of the anteriorly placed disc
  • click occurs due to the uncoordinated movement of the disc and condyle
26
Q

What are the treatment options for disc displacement with reduction?

A
  • counselling
  • limit opening
  • bite raising appliance
  • if painless, no treatment required
27
Q

What are causes of trismus from trauma?

A
  • IDB (haemotoma within medial pterygoid)
  • prolonged dental treatment
  • infection
28
Q

What are the treatment options for trismus from trauma (after acute phase)?

A
  • physiotherapy
