This article aims to demonstrate the importance of the TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) decompression in the treatment of degenerative processes and disc displacements, reporting two clinical cases treated with orthopedic and decompressive correction of TMJ.
The studies reported in this article show patients with muscle and joint pain who were evaluated pre and post-treatment through MRI (Magnetic Resonance Irradiation) to follow-up bone marrow regeneration and TMJ disc placement. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), measurement equipment and IO (Intraoral Orthotic) were used to evaluate and treat the patients. A critical review of literature has also been conducted to confront clinical outcomes.
Marrow bone regeneration and disc placement were observed in both patients.
The use of measurement equipment associated with TENS to find the correct rest position of the Jaw an the use of IO to decompress the TMJ was an effective way to promote bone marrow regeneration and disc placement, consequently improving function and quality of life.
本文旨在证明颞下颌关节（TMJ）减压在治疗退行性病变和盘移位中的重要性，报告两例采用颞下颌关节矫形和减压矫正治疗的临床病例。
本文报道的研究显示，患有肌肉和关节疼痛的患者在治疗前后通过磁共振成像（MRI）进行评估，以跟踪骨髓再生和颞下颌关节盘的位置。使用经皮电刺激（TENS）、测量设备和口内矫治器（IO）对患者进行评估和治疗。还对文献进行了批判性综述以对比临床结果。
两名患者均观察到骨髓再生和盘复位。
使用与TENS相关的测量设备来找到下颌的正确休息位置，并使用IO对颞下颌关节进行减压，是促进骨髓再生和盘复位的有效方法，从而改善功能和生活质量。
