Bruxism is a condition that results from hyperactivity in the central nervous system, and factors such as stress or other anxious conditions increase the frequency of episodes. When bruxism occurs at a young age, tooth wear can occur. The extent of wear can lead to the need for restorative dentistry and prosthetic treatments to restore the morphological and functional integrity of the teeth, with high costs associated with such treatments.
A healthy 15-year-old boy presented to the orthodontist observation. His incisal ridges appeared thin, without mamelons, and with increased translucency. For treatment, the authors used only the Functional Plane of Monaco (FPM), a device which he had to wear 16 hours during the day.
The orthodontist successfully treated an orthopaedic/orthodontic case with the FPM device.
磨牙症是一种由于中枢神经系统过度活跃引起的病症,压力或其他焦虑状况等因素会增加发作的频率。当磨牙症发生在年轻时,可能会导致牙齿磨损。磨损的程度可能需要进行修复牙科和义齿治疗,以恢复牙齿的形态和功能完整性,但这些治疗的费用很高。
一位健康的 15 岁男孩来到正畸医生处就诊。他的切牙嵴看起来很薄,没有乳突,并且透明度增加。作者仅使用 Monaco 功能平面(FPM)进行治疗,他白天必须佩戴该设备 16 小时。
正畸医生成功使用 FPM 设备治疗了一个正畸/正颌病例。
