Abstract

The prevalence of partial tooth loss among adults is up to 75%. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are no less common. According to various data, the incidence rate ranges from 28% to 79% and depends on the age and population examined. This study aimed to describe the method of using SCENAR therapy in complex staged rehabilitation of a patient with TMJ dysfunction, forced position of the lower jaw, and partial tooth loss. In the rehabilitation, basic research methods were used, such as history taking, external examination, extraoral examination of the TMJ and lower jaw muscles, and intraoral examination. Analysis of diagnostic models of the jaws and their installation in the articulator, analysis of captured diagnostic photographs of the dentition and face, X-ray examination, and functional diagnostic methods, such as electromyography of lower jaw muscles and sonography of the TMJ, were also performed. The use of SCENAR therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with TMJ dysfunction, partial tooth loss, and forced position of the lower jaw led to the relaxation and equalization of the tone of the lower jaw muscles. As a result, the lower jaw occupies an optimal position, the TMJ functioning is normalized, and articulation improves. This approach to the rehabilitation of patients allows one to obtain a long-term functional and aesthetic result.
