PREVALENCE, VARIETY OF APPROACHES TO TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION OF FUNCTIONAL TMJ DISORDERS

Abstract

Purpose of the work. choosing the optimal method of treatment of TMJ disorders that cause it and concomitant factors that aggravate it. Introduction. The operation of the dentoalveolar apparatus is similar to a unique precise mechanism. In addition to teeth and muscles, the mandibular joints, neuro-muscle network, bones and ligaments are involved in its work. Any interference with this mechanism, such as dental prosthetics, can disrupt its operation if performed incorrectly. The consequence of this disorder will be headaches, problems with the facial nerves and even disorders in the cervical spine. To prevent this from happening, it is important to reproduce as accurately as possible what was given by nature during prosthetics and dental treatment. TMJ is one of the most commonly used joints in the body. People use it to eat, talk, and even breathe. The TMJ is a pair of joints that connect the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders refer to any pain and dysfunction in the joints or muscles surrounding them. TMJ dysfunction is a disease in which the joint itself is affected. Violation of the physiological ratio of teeth (occlusion) and the interaction of these components, the body compensates for at the expense of other systems. There is a non-physiological position of the head, curvature of the neck, facial and headaches, disorders of the jaw joint, incorrect posture, which already affect overall health. Because TMJ disorders have different causes, there are also different treatment options for this condition. Many tools, protocols, techniques, and tests of SNA (temporomandibular disorders) have been proposed, but none of them is recognized as the definitive or most comprehensive treatment method. Conclusion. The main purpose of our article was to compare the effectiveness of various forms of concepts and approaches for the treatment of TMJ functional disorders. The choice of the optimal treatment method for TMJ disorders should be made taking into account the position of the head of the lower jaw, the nature of the displacement of the articular disc, the presence or absence of pain, concomitant local and general factors that aggravate it.
