Objective: Aim: To determine the effectiveness of treatment of temporomandibular joints muscle and joint dysfunction with occlusive splints based on the analysis of axiography data.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: 274 (two hundred and seventy-four) patients aged 18 to 44 years with a diagnosis of temporomandibular joints dysfunction before and after treatment.
Results: Results: All patients with signs of temporomandibular joints dysfunction before treatment had a violation of the movement trajectory of the lower jaw: deviation - 68.
A general practical approach to hetero(aromatic) and aliphatic P(O)Me-substituted derivatives is elaborated. The key synthetic step was a [Pd]-mediated C-P coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides/iodides with HP(O)Me. The P(O)Me substituent was shown to dramatically increase solubility and decrease lipophilicity of organic compounds.

The research was predisposed for a progressing increase in incidence of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction, low effectiveness of traditional treatment as well as the necessity of implementation of high-effective etiopathogenetic therapy methods. The necessity of systematizing diagnostics and treatment planning is evident, considering the cause-effect mechanisms of the disease initiation and complex individual approach, required for improving the effectiveness of prevention and pathogenetic therapy in early rehabilitation of the patients with the temporomandibular dysfunction, The visualization model will provide for planning certain treatment stages using a virtual system, synchronizing and combining them with the modern methods of the prosthetic construction fabrication, which will represent a new quality stage of stomatological treatment. The chosen theme is not only of multidisciplinary medical importance, but of the social one as well.

Lack of muscle relaxation leads to the formation of local hypertonicity. In spasmodic muscle fibers varies perfusion and hypoxia occurs, which is accompanied by the release of inflammatory mediators and activation of pain receptors.

Background: Spinal deformities are common in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, a heritable disorder that causes bone fragility. The purpose of this study was to describe the behavior of spinal curvature during growth in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta and establish its relationship to disease severity and medical treatment with bisphosphonates.
Methods: The medical records and radiographs of 316 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta were retrospectively reviewed.
