RADIO-IMAGING INVESTIGATIONS ALGORITHM OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to collect a set of resources to investigate the temporomandibular articulation. The study of the biodynamic changes of the temporomandibular joint after the accomplishment of overdenture with support on the natural teeth or on implants, was conceived as a set of clinical and laboratory tests that allows us a clear and objective evidence of these ones. A mixed methodology was used based on a questionnaire survey, joint angle measurements and measurements of the anterior determinant. The main conclusions concern that toothless implant restoration produces a change in the joint biodynamics that should be monitored and compared quantitatively and qualitatively with joint physiological biomechanics and with joint biomechanics in the case of non-implant prosthesis. This research is an applicative one, aimed to solve short-term problems, current issues, contributing to the development of an interdisciplinary scientific field represented by the correlation between implant and occlusion.
