Physical therapy in addition to occlusal splint in myogenic temporomandibular disorders: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: Myogenic temporomandibular disorders (M-TMD) commonly involve occlusal splint (OS) therapy and musculoskeletal physiotherapy (MPT).

Objectives: To compare the effects of combining OS with MPT and education (EG) against OS and education (CG), in chronic M-TMD patients.

Methods: In this double-blind randomised controlled trial, 62 participants were assigned to either EG or CG.

Morpho-functional analysis of the temporomandibular joint following mandible-first bimaxillary surgery with mandible-only patient-specific implants.

The aim of this study was to evaluate condylar and glenoid fossa remodeling after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery guided by patient-specific mandibular implants. In total, 18 patients suffering from dentofacial dysmorphism underwent a virtually planned bimaxillary mandibular PSI-guided orthognathic procedure. One month prior to surgery, patients underwent a CBCT scan and optical scans of the dental arches; these datasets were re-acquired 1 month and at least 9 months postsurgery.

Three-dimensional cephalometric outcome predictability of virtual orthodontic-surgical planning in surgery-first approach.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to introduce a novel 3D cephalometric analysis (3DCA) and to validate its use in evaluating the reproducibility of virtual orthodontic-surgical planning (VOSP) in surgery-first approach (SF) comparing VOSP and post-operative outcome (PostOp).

Methods: The cohort of nineteen patients underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery following the VOSP designed in SimPlant O&O software by processing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and intraoral digital scanning of the dental arches. Said records were re-acquired once the post-operative orthodontic treatment was completed.
