Abstract

|
|
We examined 104 patients(primary group, controlled group) who had visited PNUH from 1994 to 2002, having been diagnosed as temporomandibular disorders(TMDs) and treated in conservative ways such as Behavior modification, medications, physical therapies and splint therapies. We also examined 54 patients(recurred group, experimental group) who had visited PNUH from 1991 to 2001, having been diagnosed as TMDs and experienced recurrence after conservatively treated. To find out the symptoms of Recurred TMD patients and their results of conservative treatments, we compared these two groups mentioned above.
The obtained results were as follows:
1. Both primary and recurred groups have showed great improvements with conservative treatments.
2. Both primary and recurred groups have showed no differences in pain, LOM, MCO in their first visits but the noise were louder in primary group.
3. Both primary and recurred groups have showed no differences in pain, LOM, MCO when the treatments were over but the noise were louder in recurred group.
4. Treatments modalities, diagnosis , sex, kind of disease had not affected the results of treatment in either of groups.
5. It has come out that much better results were achieved when the patients in primary group had treated for over 6 months and for more than 10 times.
