Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) is a progressive disease; with prolonged exposure to the etiofactor, and sometimes even after its elimination, deep, often irreversible changes occur in the joint, causing dysfunction. Also, it should be noted that among the diseases of the joint, one of the first places is occupied by the so-called "internal disorders", which are understood as changes in intra-articular relationships, including displacements, defects, deformities of the articular disc, sprains and ruptures of the articular ligaments [1.3.5]; with various clinical manifestations and the absence of clear diagnostic principles, such patients often turn to doctors of other specialties and do not receive appropriate treatment [2.6].

Introduction. Dysfunction of the temporo-mandibular joint is a frequent, complex, multifactorial disease that is traditionally treated by orthodontic methods, but not always with a positive result.Goal of research — to assess the effect of osteopathic treatment combined with orthodontic treatment on the temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction and osteopathic status of patients with TMJ disfunction.Materials and methods. The study included 40 patients with the temporo- mandibular joint dysfunction receiving orthodontic treatment (hard and soft splints, brace system, exercises). All patients were women without severe somatic pathology divided into 2 groups: treatment group and control group. The mean (±SD) age of participants was 27,5±5,3 and 29,2±5,7 years, respectively. In both groups, osteopathic, orthodontic status have been evaluated, patients completed a questionnaire on the status of the temporo-mandibular joint. In the main group, the described orthodontic methods of treatment were supplemented by osteopathic correction.Results. The study showed a decrease in the number of somatic dysfunctions, objective symptoms and subjective sensations arising from dysfunction of the temporo-mandibular joint. The analysis showed a greater effi cacy of combined osteopathic and orthodontic treatment in comparison with exclusively orthodontic treatment.Conclusion. The obtained results provide possibility of further research of the effectiveness of osteopathic correction in combination with orthodontic treatment of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Subject. The relevance of the study is associated with the widespread prevalence of diseases of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles. The large amount and inconsistency of literature data, the lack of generally accepted terminology and diagnostic criteria, and the variety of treatment methods proposed by various authors lead to difficulties in the choice of treatment tactics encountered by the dentist in everyday practice in treating patients with temporomandibular joint pathology. The goal is to study the available literature data on the prevalence and structure of clinical manifestations of functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint. Methodology. The study was conducted on the basis of a search and study of scientific publications on the epidemiology of clinical manifestations of functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint in the databases PubMed, eLibrary, Scopus, Web of Sciens, Medline. The selection of materials was carried out by keywords. Results. The review presents the scientific data of various authors on the epidemiology of the clinical manifestations of dysfunctional disorders of the temporomandibular joint. The most characteristic objective signs of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome are: “noise” phenomena in the joint during movements of the lower jaw, pain during palpation of the masticatory muscles, restriction of opening of the mouth, deviation during opening of the mouth, bruxomania, displaced position of the lower jaw relative to the upper (transverse, medial distal), the presence of otological symptoms (pain and / or a feeling of stuffiness in the ears), a burning sensation, tingling, tingling, or pain in the tongue. Conclusions. A study of the literature over the past 15 years has revealed a wide variation in the prevalence of clinical manifestations of functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint, which does not allow an unambiguous conclusion about the epidemiology of its dysfunction.

AbstractThe clinical manifestations of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vary from mild flu-like symptoms to severe fatal pneumonia. However, children with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic or may have mild clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical features of pediatric COVID-19 and to search for the factors that may mitigate the disease course. We reviewed the literature to realize the clinical features, laboratory, and radiographic data that may be diagnostic for COVID-19 among children. Also, we studied the factors that may affect the clinical course of the disease. Fever, dry cough, and fatigue are the main symptoms of pediatric COVID-19, sometimes flu-like symptoms and/or gastrointestinal symptoms may be present. Although some infected children may be asymptomatic, a recent unusual hyperinflammatory reaction with overlapping features of Kawasaki's disease and toxic shock syndrome in pediatric COVID-19 has been occasionally reported. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronvirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid testing is the corner-stone method for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Lymphocyte count and other inflammatory markers are not essentially diagnostic; however, chest computed tomography is highly specific. Factors that may mitigate the severity of pediatric COVID-19 are home confinement with limited children activity, trained immunity caused by compulsory vaccination, the response of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors in children is not the same as in adults, and that children are less likely to have comorbidities. As infected children may be asymptomatic or may have only mild respiratory and/or gastrointestinal symptoms that might be missed, all children for families who have a member diagnosed with COVID-19 should be investigated.

Objective To determine the prevalence, sociodemographic features, and clinical presentation of temporomandibular joint disorder in otorhinolaryngological practice. Methods This prospective hospital-based study involved patients diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorder in our institution’s ear, nose, and throat department. Data for this study were obtained from the patients using pretested interviewer-assisted questionnaires. Results The prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder in this study was 1.3%. The study population included 17 (26.2%) male patients with a male:female ratio of 1.0:2.8. Joint disorder accounted for 75.4% of all disorders, while both mastication muscle and joint disorder accounted for 21.5%. A majority of the patients (47.7%) presented between weeks 1 and 13 of the illness. Unilateral temporomandibular joint disorder accounted for 98.5% of all disorders. The main otologic clinical features were earache and a dull tympanic membrane in 100% and 35.4% of patients, respectively. Middle ear assessment revealed type A in 73.8% of patients and type B in 20.0% according to Jerger’s classification system of tympanometry. Most patients (81.5%) were referred by their family physician. All patients had undergone prehospital treatment prior to presentation. Conclusion Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common presentation in medical practice. Common clinical features include ear, joint, and mastication muscle disorders.
