Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome"

In oral rehabilitation, the integration into the digital flow of mandibular movements and the patient's individual reference planes optimizes the functional adaptation of prosthetic elements whose design is computer aided. The innovative Modjaw® device allows you to record and then virtually simulate mandibular movements. This retrospective study aims to: 1) Test the reliability of the Modjaw® device; 2) Measure the condylar displacements of asymptomatic subjects for the arbitrary programming of simulators. Kinematic recordings of 22 healthy volunteers (15F / 7H; mean age: 22.2 years) were analyzed. Two recording sessions were carried out within one month of each other, by three different operators; each subject was followed by the same operator during the first (E1) and the second (E2) recording. The values of sagittal condylar inclination (SCI) obtained in opening, protrusion, right-left mediotrusion were calculated at 3 and 5 mm of condylar displacement. The transverse condylar inclination (TCI) was calculated at 4mm.

The aim in this study is to determine the Turkish version validity and reliability of the Fonseca Anamnestic Index.

In the literature, temporomandibular joint diseases on the diagnostic value of the use of ultrasonography in diagnosis studies are lacking. In this study in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint diseases revealing the reliability of the use of ultrasonography. It is aimed to contribute to the literature in terms of.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 'The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for Temporomandibular Disorders (TSK-TMD)' questionnaire used to assess kinesiophobia in temporomandibular joint disorders. Method: The "Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale in Temporomandibular Disorders" (TSK-TMD), which consists of 12 item, was adapted to Turkish with the translation and back-translation method. 111 patients (75 females, 36 males) who had been diagnosed with temporomandibular joint for at least 6 months and diagnosed as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder were participated to fill out the questionnaire. In the present study, participants were assessed with the Temporomandibular joint disorders evaluation form, Turkish TSK-TMD-12 item, Visuel Analogue Scale (VAS) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). The internal consistency and test-retest reliability with a 3-5 days time were used to evaluate the reliability of the TSK-TMD. The reliability of the corelatıon was checked with PCS. Construct validity was assessed based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

In the present study, investigators are going to investigate the potential of inversion recovery (fluid attenuated inversion recovery -FLAIR and short-TI Inversion Recovery -STIR) sequence images to demonstrate joint effusion, compared to T2-weighted images.

This study, we are aim to make the Turkish version validity and reliability of the Cranifacial Pain and Disability Inventory, Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-20, and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8.

This proposal will investigate pain modulatory mechanisms and brain functional and structural characteristics using multiple MRI modalities in persistent dentoalveolar pain disorder (PDAP) patients with and without temporomandibular disorders (TMD). All measures from patients will be compared to painfree controls.

The aim of this study was to assess the electrical activity of the temporal and masseter muscles in cleft lip and palate (CLP) children with pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and in CLP individuals with no TMD by means of surface electromyography (sEMG). Another objective was to determine the diagnostic value of electromyography in identifying CLP patients with temporomandibular disorders. The sample comprised 87 children with CLP and mixed dentition. The children were assessed for the presence of TMD using of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) by a single examiner. A DAB-Bluetooth Instrument (Zebris Medical GmbH, Germany) was used to take electromyographical (EMG) recordings of the temporal and masseter muscles both in the mandibular rest position and during maximum voluntary contraction (MVC).

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis is known to alter the mandibular development in children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. In a number of cases a genuine breakdown of cartilage and bone is seen in the affected joint which leads to asymmetric mandibular growth in the affected side. In cases of unilateral TMJ involvements severe mandibular asymmetric mandibular growth deviations are seen. We hypothesize that these growth deviations can be minimized and controlled by the use functional orthodontic appliance therapy.

One Hundred Fifty woman patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology 2010 diagnostic criteria and 150 healthy woman volunteers will be included.Demographic data (age, gender, height, weight, marital status, education level) and duration of fibromyalgia diagnosis will be recorded. Patients will be evaluated according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Assessment Instruments (DCTMD: AI ). Patients will be evaluated by Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Pain Screener, Symptom questionnaire, Clinical Examination Form from Assessment Instruments Axis I. Pain Drawing, Graded Chronic Pain (version 2), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4), Oral Behaviors Checklist will be applied within the scope of Axis II.
