The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders via injection HA & PRP. The sample consisted of 24 patients with TMD.

Study Of The EMG Changes To Evaluate The Action Potential Of Temporalis And Masseter Muscles During Treatment With Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition (NTI) Splint

This study aimed to Study the effect of Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition (NTI) splint on EMG changes for masseter and temporalis muscles in TMDs patients , and studying the discomfort degree to this splint.

Evaluating the treatment of recurrent anterior displacement of articular disc via injection of PRP: clinical study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes (pain P , joint sounds JS , and diversion in the mandibular movement DMM) of treatment of anterior displacement of articular disc via injection of PRP. The sample consisted of 40 patients who referred to the faculty of dentistry with unilateral anterior displacement of articular disc with pain P , joint sounds JS , and diversion in the mandibular movement DMM.

Relation between temporomandibular joint and normal growth pattern in female adult (CT scan study)

The aim of this research is to investigate the dimensional and positional symmetries between the right and left condyles ,and the possible asymmetries between the condylar processes that could be related to the type of growth pattern in adult subjects with no clinical nor radiographic symptoms of TMDs. Materials and methods: In result of a multistage clinical examination protocol, 14 Caucasian patients with normal growth pattern ,and with no prior orthodontics treatment were selected (14 females)from 17 to 29 years of age with no clinical signs and symptoms of TMDs. The images obtained from the axial and sagittal slices, Cephalometric growth pattern study was performed. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and T-test were calculated. Results :no statistically significant relationship between the measurements of TMJ(left &right) and the normal growth pattern. Conclusions:There is no relationship between the morphology of TMJ and normal growth pattern in adult female orthodontically non-treated .

The relationship of the temporomandibular joint disc thickness with facial growth according to Jarabak in adult male subjects (cephalometric and MRI study).

Mandible articulates with the cranium via the TMJ. All the components of the TMJ, including the TMJ disc, seem to be associated with altered characteristics of the craniofacial complex and its growth. However, the exact role of the TMJ disc thickness during the process of the facial growth is not clear yet. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the TMJ disc thickness and the facial growth determined according to Jarabak in adult male subjects with no clinical or MRI symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

Articular eminence Inclination and its relationship with incisors mesiodistal inclination in skeletal class I occlusion adults with no clinical and radiographic symptoms of TMDs

Articular eminence participates in the functional formation of the posterior guidance of the mandibular movement, it's the anatomical point where functional stresses can result in alteration of the contours of the articular eminence, and its inclination respectively, Hence, orthodontists need to know the relationship between the articular eminence Inclination and the mesiodistal inclination of upper and lower incisors to achieve more stable results of orthodontics treatment. Aim The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship of upper and lower incisors mesiodistal inclination with the inclination of the articular eminence in class I skeletal occlusion in adult subjects with no clinical nor radiographic symptoms of TMDs. Materials and methods: In result of radiographic study and a multistage clinical examination protocol, 46 Caucasian patients with no prior orthodontics treatment were selected (19 males, 27 females) from 16 to 27 years of age with skeletal class I occlusion and no clinical or radiographic signs and symptoms of TMDs. Furthermore, cephalometric evaluating of the Inclination of the articular eminence and the mesiodistal inclination of the incisors was performed; Pearson's Correlation Coefficient was calculated to investigate the relationship of articular eminence Inclination with the mesiodistal inclination of the incisors. Results: no significant relationship between incisors mesiodistal inclination and the articular eminence inclination was found. Conclusions the steepness of the articular eminence appears not to vary with mesiodistal inclination of the incisors in skeletal class I occlusion adults with no clinical and radiographic symptoms of TMDs
