Abstract

In the modern practice of a dentist today there is a sufficient variety of hardware methods for the treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. It is sometimes difficult for a practicing physician who does not have much clinical experience to determine the indications for choosing a certain tactic of hardware treatment. Sometimes it becomes necessary to use two or more types of occlusal devices in series or in parallel. A clinical example of complex diagnostics and combined treatment of a patient with temporomandibular joint dysfunction with modern individualized devices — orthotics and aligners is given. The results of studying the bioelectric activity of the masticatory muscles before and after treatment with orthotics and aligners, at rest and when squeezing the dentition through cotton pads, showed obtaining values of biopotentials when closing the dentition, closer to the physiological norm.

Key words:

temporomandibular joint dysfunction, aligners, orthotic, occlusive splints, occlusive mouthguards
