The aim of this study is to present and discuss two cases of patients with Tourette syndrome controlled with intraoral occlusal devices.
This paper presents two case reports: one of a 10-year-old male patient and another of a 17-year-old male patient who underwent treatment using a conservative approach that has garnered increasing clinical interest: the use of an occlusal device. This device is placed over the lower teeth, creating a space between the mandible and maxilla. Patients reported improvements in tic frequency as well as enhancements in their ability to focus and concentrate on academic activities following the installation of the occlusal device.
The use of these occlusal devices demonstrates promising success in managing tics associated with Tourette syndrome.
本研究旨在呈现并讨论两例使用口腔咬合装置控制抽动秽语综合征的患者病例。
本文呈现两例病例报告：一例为一名10岁男性患者，另一例为一名17岁男性患者，他们接受了一种保守治疗方法，该方法已引起越来越多的临床关注：使用咬合装置。该装置放置在下牙上，在下颌骨和上颌骨之间形成一个空间。患者报告称，安装咬合装置后，抽动频率有所改善，并且在专注于学术活动的能力方面也有所增强。
使用这些咬合装置在管理与抽动秽语综合征相关的抽动方面显示出有希望的成功。
