Popis: Selecting the appropriate treatment decision is essential for achieving optimal results in the management of algo-dysfunctional syndrome of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJD). The study aims to decide on the most effective (symptomatic control, preserved motility) kinetic program in patients with TMJ involvement.prospective observational study on 83 consecutive patients with rheumatic diseases and TMJ dysfunction. Clinical assessment (pain, noises, muscle spasm, range of motion, ROM) was performed at baseline and after 3 months of specific kinetic rehabilitation program. Change in clinical parameters and TM3 index was reported, p0.05.over 45% TMJ involvement at baseline as defined by TMJ index (mean value of 13.56) and only 36.66% at 3 months (p0.05). Significant improvement in pain (presence, severity) was demonstrated at 3 moths (p0.05): 18.05% spontaneous pain, 75.9% provoked pain, with 12.11% respectively 2.41% decreased in nocturnal respectively diurnal pain. Significant decrease (p0.05) in joint noises at movements: 27.71% when opening and 12.04% when closing the mouth, 8.43 at protrusion and 3.61% at retraction, while 18% at the side movements.Complex accurate kinetic reeducation is mandatory for achieving correct posture (head, neck and trunk), normal mastication, swallowing and respiration, as well as correction of neuromuscular imbalances in patients with TMJD secondary to rheumatic disorders.
