[Analysis of changes in the position of the temporomandibular joint articular disc during positioning splint therapy according to magnetic resonance imaging data].

The Aim Of The Study: Was to assess an impact of positioning occlusal splints made by various methods on the position of the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint according to MRI data.

Materials And Methods: 40 patients (8 men and 32 women) aged from 18 to 60 years with temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome were examined (ICD-10 code K07.60).

[Duration of splint therapy in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders].

Aim: Studying the duration of treatment in patients with temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome, and the relationship of the duration of treatment with the age of the patient at the beginning of therapy.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out using information from medical records of dental patients, information from additional examinations of patients who were treated at the National Medical Research Centre for Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Ministry of Health of Russia from 2016 to 2022. Statistical research methods: to evaluate the normality of the distribution, graphical methods were used, as well as the Shapiro-Wilk criterion.

[Orthopedic rehabilitation of patients in the department of Modern Prosthetics Technologies of the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery].

The main guidelines for innovative prosthetic technologies and effective methods for replacing defects in hard tissues of teeth and dentitions in patients with pathological abrasion of teeth, secondary deformations of dentitions and generalized periodontitis are implemented in the department of modern prosthetics technologies through the introduction of digital technologies (3D modeling, scanning, printing), development of new methods and techniques of treatment, study of the features of reparative regeneration in the field of dentition defects and changes in the prosthetic bed, analysis of morphological changes in traumatic occlusion, integration with other clinical departments of the institute.

[The use of magnetic sensory system for mandibular movement patterns recording in patients after TMJ reconstruction].

Objective: The aim of this study was to record mandibular kinematics in patients after total TMJ endoprosthesis using a magnetic sensory system.

Material And Methods: The movement of the mandibular was examined in 10 patients who underwent TMJ reconstruction using total endoprostheses. The condylar range of motion, the angle of the transversal condylar inclination (TCI), the speed of joint movement (max S) and the stability distance between the position at the beginning of movement and at the end (Start/end) of TMJ prostheses and native joints were measured 1 week before surgery (T0) and 12 months after (T1).

[Cephalometric findings in patients with TMJ anterior disk displacement without reduction].

Objective of the study was to determine representative cephalometric signs for the patients with TMJ anterior disk displacement without reduction (ADWoR). Twenty one female patients with ADWoR, which was confirmed by MRI, were included in the study. Cephalometric parameters described by Arnett-McLaughlin and Jarabak were measured by means of lateral cephalograms and computed tomograms (CT) to determine the growth pattern of the facial skeleton.
