Temporomandibular Joint Pain Measurement by Bite Force and Von Frey Filament Assays in Mice
Published on: September 13, 2024
Summary
Orthodontic patients often experience temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Integrating orthotic and functional jaw orthopedic principles can address TMJ issues and craniofacial pain during orthodontic treatment.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Background:
- Historically, orthodontic treatment has often overlooked the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles.
- This oversight has contributed to a high prevalence of TMJ disorders within the orthodontic patient population.
Observation:
- Conventional orthodontic approaches, particularly braces, may not effectively treat TMJ disorders.
- There is a growing recognition of the importance of TMJ function and health in orthodontic care.
Findings:
- Integrating orthotic and functional jaw orthopedic appliance therapy principles addresses the root causes of TMJ disorders.
- This integrated approach can significantly benefit patients with internal derangement and associated craniofacial pain.
Implications:
- Orthodontists can improve patient quality of life by incorporating TMJ-focused strategies.
- Proactive or concurrent management of TMJ disorders enhances overall orthodontic treatment outcomes.

01:14Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane
Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

01:26Modeling in Therapy
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

01:25Interpersonal Psychotherapy
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.
