To assess the effectiveness of the stabilization splint (SS) combined with the T-Scan™ III system in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) with myofascial pain.
Forty-eight enrolled patients were randomly assigned to the SS group or T-Scan™-guided SS group. Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ), Maximum Comfortable Opening (MCO), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used as the outcome variables.
The occlusal contacts of patients in the SS plus T-Scan™ group showed lower Occlusal Time (OT), Disocclusion Time (DT), and Asymmetry Index of Occlusal Force (AOF) after occlusal adjustment under the guidance of the T-Scan™. Importantly, the TMD symptoms were alleviated more obviously in SS plus T-Scan™ group, with better scores for MCO and MFIQ.
T-Scan™-guided occlusal adjustment of SS can obtain better OT, DT, and AOF, which furthers improvement of the therapeutic effects on TMD with myofascial pain.
评估稳定夹板(SS)联合T-Scan™ III系统治疗伴肌筋膜疼痛的颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMD)的有效性。
将48例入组患者随机分为SS组或T-Scan™引导的SS组。采用下颌功能损害问卷(MFIQ)、最大舒适开口度(MCO)、视觉模拟评分(VAS)和患者健康问卷-9(PHQ-9)作为观察指标。
在T-Scan™引导下进行咬合调整后,SS加T-Scan™组患者的咬合接触显示出更低的咬合时间(OT)、脱离咬合时间(DT)和咬合力不对称指数(AOF)。重要的是,SS加T-Scan™组的TMD症状缓解更明显,MCO和MFIQ评分更高。
T-Scan™引导下的SS咬合调整可获得更好的OT、DT和AOF,进一步提高对伴肌筋膜疼痛的TMD的治疗效果。
