Maximal Mouth Opening

This retrospective study investigated the effects of combining manual therapy and acupuncture on the pain and maximal mouth opening (MMO), which were associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD). The 49 TMD patients (15 men, 34 women; mean age = 30.47 years, SD = 13.52 years) were treated with a combination of acupuncture and manual therapy two or three times a week at the hospital. The pain and maximal mouth opening were assessed before and after 1 and 4 weeks of treatment. The combination therapy produced significant changes in pain levels ( p < 0.001) and mouth opening ( p < 0.001). All pairwise non-parametric comparison showed a significant improvement in pain ( p < 0.05 for all pairs) and MMO ( p < 0.05 for all pairs). These findings suggest that combining manual therapy and acupuncture decreases the pain level and increases the MMO of TMD patients. However, future studies should further investigate the efficacy of combined treatment on TMD with more rigorous randomized clinical trials.

Abstract: Introduction: Derangement of the temporomandibular joint complicates everyday life, due to the masticatory malfunction and the continuous pain sensation of the head and facial region. The therapy is multidisciplinary and varying. In case of the inefficiency of conservative therapy, minimally invasive intervention is needed with intraarticular injection. Aim: The aim of our study was to examine whether hyaluronic acid injection is more beneficial compared to corticosteroid in 37 joints. We also examined whether the efficacy of the therapy is influenced by hyaluronic acid molecular weight and the used protocol. Method: Wilkes stage, maximal mouth opening and the Visual Analogue Scale were determined pre-operatively and 6 months later. Corticosteroid application was performed once, hyaluronic acid was injected on a weekly bases 3 times in a row, by use of low (6–10 × 105 dalton) or high molecular weight (24–36 × 105 dalton) preparations. Results: The medical state of the patients treated with corticosteroid temporarily improved, but the symptoms returned. Due to hyaluronic acid treatment, significant improvement was revealed in all parameters (pwilkes<0.0001; pmouth-opening = 0.0002; pVAS<0.0001). There was no significant relapse (T = 2.05). The third administration of hyaluronic acid resulted in a significant improvement of the Visual Analogue Scale compared to the first and second injection (T3.–1. = 20.37; T3.–2. = 9.57). Conclusions: Comparing the two agents we can state that hyaluronic acid was significantly more effective and its application for three times seems to be the most effective treatment decreasing the symptoms. The high molecular weight solution was more effective in increasing mouth opening. In contrast to hyaluronic acid, corticosteroid had no prolonged effect in higher Wilkes stages.
