Alterações biomecânicas em pacientes portadores de Disfunção Temporomandibular antes e após o uso de dispositivos oclusais

摘要: Introduction: an altered function in temporomandibular complex can reflect adaptations for the muscular device of individual, intervening with mandibular position and consequently head scapular waist posture, modifying corporal biomechanics. Purpose: evaluated postural alterations skull shoulders as well contact premature side masticatory preference side, patients Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), before after occlusal splint insertion. Materials Methods: Clinical (intra extra-oral) physical examinations were done 20 dysfunction, before, one week month myorelaxant instalation. Results: results showed reductions pain symptoms alteration inclination. Conclusion: it be concluded that exists interrelation between occlusion individual suffer its operation decurrently from stomatognathic modifications.
