To evaluate the influence of ULF-TENS on the displacement of the mandibular condyle and on the repeatability of centric relation (CR) registration of three different techniques: bimanual manipulation (BM), long strip technique, and harmonic centric occlusal relationship (R.O.C.A. wires).
Twenty-five participants without temporomandibular disorder (TMD) underwent two study stages conducted via electronic position analysis: (1) three CR records were made, one for each manipulation technique; (2) the ULF-TENS was applied for 30 min, and after that the same CR records were repeated.
Mann-Whitney, ICC, and one-tailed F test.
The ULF-TENS did not influence the condyle total displacement, regardless of CR recording technique used (p > 0.05). BM showed an improvement in repeatability after ULF-TENS.
Concerning the variance, BM showed less variation at the X-axis. Long strip technique and R.O.C.A. wires varied less at the Y-axis. Long strip technique was again less variable at the Z-axis.
评估超低频经皮电刺激神经疗法(ULF-TENS)对下颌髁突位移以及三种不同技术(双手操作法(BM)、长条技术和调和正中咬合关系(R.O.C.A. 钢丝))的正中关系(CR)记录重复性的影响。
25名无颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMD)的参与者通过电子位置分析进行了两个研究阶段:(1)进行三次CR记录,每种操作技术各一次;(2)施加ULF-TENS 30分钟,之后重复相同的CR记录。
曼-惠特尼检验、组内相关系数(ICC)和单尾F检验。
无论使用何种CR记录技术,ULF-TENS均未影响髁突的总位移(p > 0.05)。双手操作法在ULF-TENS后重复性有所改善。
关于方差,双手操作法在X轴上变化较小。长条技术和R.O.C.A.钢丝在Y轴上变化较小。长条技术在Z轴上再次变化较小。
