Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to compare the differences between first visits and the recurred time of TMD patients about the number of visits, the treatment plans, the symptoms and the results after the conservative treatments. This could lead us to assess the prognoses of TMDs treated conservatively.
We investigated 54 patients who have visited the Department of Oral Medicine in PNUH from 1991 to 2001, diagnosed as TMDs and treated conservatively with medications, physical therapies and splints. The treatments were terminated since the subjects have shown much improvements and resumed when TMDs recurred from 1992 to 2002. We researched the diagnoses, symptoms, the number of visits, the treatment plans and the results comparing the time before and after the treatments were carried out and following are the results.
1. Both the primary and the recurred groups improved after having been treated conservatively.
2. Both the primary and the recurred groups showed no differences in pains and MCOs when they first visited though the noises and LOMs turned out to be more serious in primary group.
3. Both the primary and the recurred groups had no differences in pains, noises, LOMs, MCOs when the treatments were over.
4. The results of treatments were not affected by treatment plans, sex, diagnoses in both primary and recurred groups.
5. Most of the patents tended to visit less than 10 times in recurred patients.
