Dolor orofacial en músicos instrumentistas de viento
2012
Dentro de la amplia gama de tecnopatías que afectan a los intérpretes musicales (sean profesionales o no), el dolor orofacial es una de las más frecuentes, especialmente en los músicos de viento (viento-madera o viento-metal). Este trabajo pretende realizar una revisión bibliográfica relacionada con dicho tema, centrándose en los instrumentistas de viento. Material y métodos Se realizó la búsqueda en la National Library of Medicine's PubMed database así como en otras bases de datos médicas para identificar aquellos artículos revisados por pares en la literatura relacionados con los problemas orofaciales en músicos de viento, usando tanto palabras clave dentro de los Medical Subject Headings…
The Relationship Between the Stomatognathic System and Body Posture
2009
In recent years, many researchers have investigated the various factors that can influence body posture: mood states, anxiety, head and neck positions, oral functions (respiration, swallowing), oculomotor and visual systems, and the inner ear. Recent studies indicate a role for trigeminal afferents on body posture, but this has not yet been demonstrated conclusively. The present study aims to review the papers that have shown a relationship between the stomatognathic system and body posture. These studies suggest that tension in the stomatognathic system can contribute to impaired neural control of posture. Numerous anatomical connections between the stomatognathic system’s proprioceptive i…
Severity of irritable bowel syndrome in patients with temporomandibular disorders: A case-control study
2019
Background To assess the risk and severity of IBS in a population of TMD patients. Material and Methods Subjects for the study group were recruited from patients attending the Dental Clinic. Health controls (HC) were recruited among patients' friends and clinic staff. All subjects filled in the RDC/TMD questionnaire and the ROME III questionnaire for the diagnosis of IBS. The IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS) was used to evaluate the severity of each case of IBS. Categorical variables were compared through the Chi square test. The risk of having abdominal pain was analysed using logistic regression. Results Twenty-two (46.8%) cases of IBS were diagnosed among TMD patients, whereas only …
Photobiomodulation and myofascial temporomandibular disorder: Systematic review and meta-analysis followed by cost-effectiveness analysis
2021
Background Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment, which, has shown beneficial results in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) related pain. This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation in the treatment of myofascial pain associated with (TMD by analyzing randomized clinical trials published from 2007 to February 2019. The secondary objective of the study was to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of TMD treatment with photobiomodulation in patients with myofascial pain. Material and methods International databases were used: Pubmed, Medline and Web of Science; the initial search rai…
Tensor tympani muscle: strange chewing muscle
2007
This work seeks to alert medical and odontological staff to understanding and using interdisciplinary handling for detecting different pathologies’ common otic symptoms. It offers better tools for this shared symptomatology during therapy’s conservative phase. Tensor tympani muscle physiology and function in the middle ear have been veiled, even when their dysfunction and anatomical relationships may explain a group of confused otic symptoms during conventional clinical evaluation. Middle ear muscles share a common embryological and functional origin with chewing and facial muscles. This article emphasizes that these muscles share a functional neurological and anatomical dimension with the …
