ABSTRACT TOPIC - Dynamic distraction method in the treatment of TMD.
Treatment of patients with TMD, when there is a restriction of mouth opening due to unreduced disc displacement, presents significant difficulties. The proposed method of dynamic distraction of the TMJ in combination with TENS makes it possible to reduce the disc and fabricate an orthotic splint in the correct position of the mandible, which improves the treatment outcome.
