1 Outline American Association of Orthodontists Limiting your risk when treating patients with TMD Ambra Michelotti TMD diagnosis Condylar position and TMD risk Occlusal interference and TMD risk Red Flags and TMD risk University of Naples Federico II Temporomandibular Disorders ModifiedbyDiatchenkoetal, 2006 ModifiedbyBenoliel etal, 2011 Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) encompass a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that involve the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), the masticatory muscles and all associated tissues. The signs and symptoms associated with these disorders are diverse, and may include difficulties with chewing, speaking and other orofacial functions. They also are frequently associated with acute or persistent pain, and the patients often suffer from other painful disorders (comorbidities). Environment Occlusion Orthodontics TMD The chronic forms of TMD pain may lead to absence from or impairment of work or social interactions, resulting in an overall reduction in the quality of life.

4 Reduction of posterior vertical dimension 11 cases in which disturbance of mandibular joint function was considered the chief etiologic factor of abnormal ear and head conditions Left Ronald H. Roth San Mateo, California Angle Orthod patients 2 controls The condyles should be seated superior and anterior in the fossae against the articular disks and the distal slope of the articular eminence, and centered transversely. Mounting dental casts on an articulator helps in measuring the centric relation-centric occlusion discrepancy in 3 planes of space. This is important information when the goal is to treat to a musculoskeletal stable position. Objective: to evaluate the reliability and validity of 3 bite registrations in relation to condylar position in the glenoid fossae using magnetic resonance imaging in a symptom-free population. Centric Occlusion Centric Relation (Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2013;144:512-7) Roth Power Centric Relation The centricity of the condyles in the glenoid fossa involves a range, and eccentricity does not necessarily indicate TMD. Therefore, the analysis of articulated casts will not be diagnostic of TMD per se. 4

5 Interestingly OOOO, 2009 The differences between the 3 bite positions were small and, more importantly, highly variable. Variability in the findings between the bite registrations appear to reflect the lack of accuracy and predictability. Based on the findings that we are not positioning the condyles in specific positions in the fossae with various bite registrations, the clinical significance followed by the routine practice of condylar positioning must be questioned. No association between condylar position and signs and symptoms of TMD was found Angle Orthod, 2010 normal joints normal joints CONCLUSION Mandibular dysfunction and incisor relationship. A theoretical explanation for the clicking joint. Berry DC, Waltkinson AC Br Dent J, 1978 Great overlap Left Deep bite / Class II 2 Wide distribution Condyle position per se is not diagnostic and would fail any useful prediction values Pullinger A, JOR

6 The extraction non extraction dilemma as it relates to TMD RP McLaughlin, JC Bennett. Angle Orthod, 1995 however Excessive anterior interferences resulting in possible posterior condyle displacement are the result of treatment mechanics CONCLUSION There is no evidence that asymptomatic TM joints with posterior positioned condyles are at risk for disc displacement derangements. There is no evidence that centric condylar position means healthy TM joint. There is no evidence that centric condylar position limits risk when treating patients with TMD. Outline TMD diagnosis Condylar position and TMD risk Occlusal interference and TMD risk Red Flags and TMD risk 6

7 However In animal models, artificial occlusal alterations can result in disorders or damage of TMJs, masticatory muscles, and the nervous system. Long term mechanistic nociception is related not only to peripheral sensitization of nociceptive neurons but also to central sensitization Xie et al, JOR 2013 Results from animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans Xie et al, JOR % MVC Gallo LM, Palla S. J Oral Rehabil 1995; 22: Decrease in number of activity periods Decrease of contraction intensity however sometimes None of the subjects developed signs and symptoms of TMD No changes in PPT 7
