Summary

This study presents a conservative, non-invasive treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The functional approach successfully restored joint function and improved the condyle-disk-glenoid fossa relationship in two clinical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
  • Conservative treatment approaches are sought to manage TMJ disorders non-invasively.
  • Rocabado's principles guide functional TMJ disorder management.

Observation:

  • Two clinical cases of TMJ disorders were treated using a conservative, non-invasive method.
  • The therapeutic approach focused on joint distraction, elimination of compression, and soft tissue mobilization.
  • Improving the condyle-disk-glenoid fossa relationship was a key objective.

Findings:

  • The non-invasive therapy demonstrated success in both presented clinical cases.
  • The functional approach effectively addressed TMJ disorder symptoms.

  • Restoration of physiologic articular rest was achieved.

    • Implications:

    • This conservative, functional approach offers a viable non-invasive treatment option for TMJ disorders.
    • The findings support the validity of Rocabado's principles in clinical practice.
    • Further research may explore broader applications of this therapeutic strategy.
