Occlusion assessment in patients with temporomandibular disorders and occlusal disharmony
Keywords:
Temporomandibular disorders, occlusal interferences, mandibular propulsionAbstract
A study was conducted to identify the direct relation among the temporomandibulardisorders and occlusal disharmonies, which always has been an attention matter by
all Stomatology fields. Forty patients of both sexes were studied aged between 18
and 45 seeking care in the temporomandibular disorders service of Prosthesis
Department from the Stomatology Faculty who fulfilled the expressed requirements
for this type of study and presenting with signs and symptoms of
temporomandibular disorders, thus we analyzed the occlusal interferences behavior
to mandibular movements in study models, mounted in a semiadjustable
articulator. Results obtained demonstrated predominance in occlusal interferences
in study patients with temporomandibular disorders; the greater percentage of
interferences was found during the propulsion movement which were more frequent
in the non functional side for analyzed movements and molars were the more
affected ones for propulsion movement and for laterality.
