Objective: To develop an integrated therapy for the combination of pain syndrome and cochleovestibular syndrome (CVS) in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
Material And Methods: Forty-five patients (42 women and 3 men), aged from 23 to 54 years, with TMJ dysfunction, signs of CVS and complaints of pain in the ear area were stratified into three groups (15 patients each). Patients received pharmacological and osteopathic therapy (group 1); splint therapy followed by orthodontic treatment (group 2) and a combination of the abovementioned methods (group 3). Re-examination was carried out 3 months after completion of treatment.
Results: After treatment, complaints of pain, tinnitus, dizziness and nystagmus, the degree of TMJ dysfunction decreased significantly (<0,05) compared to baseline in groups 1 and 2. In group 3, the most significant and persistent results were obtained, which significantly differed not only from the initial level, but also from the final level of indicators in the first and second groups (<0,05), including a decrease in the degree of maladaptation associated with vertigo and trait anxiety.
Conclusions: Differential diagnosis of CVS in patients with TMJ dysfunction requires the joint participation of dentist, neurologist and ENT doctor and should be comprehensive, including medical, orthodontic and osteopathic components.

Objective: To evaluate volumetric changes over time in teeth treated with the Hall Technique (HT) and their opposing teeth. Secondary aims included assessing occluso-vertical dimension (OVD), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, and children's treatment perceptions.
Methods: Twenty-eight children (5-9 years-old) requiring HT treatment for one first primary molar were recruited.
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).

Introduction: The aim of this systematic review was to determine the best treatment alternatives for patients with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis (MLIA) by comparing orthodontic space closure, implant and tooth supported dental prostheses by assessing studies that evaluated their periodontal, occlusal (function) and aesthetic results.
Methods: The present systematic review was reported according to the indications of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) incorporating network meta-analysis, and the protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023487245). The PRISMA systematic search, without restriction on language or initial date, was carried out using electronic databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus and central register of controlled trials.

A Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) effusion is an accumulation of fluid components in the articular space. It represents an inflammatory process which can be associated with trauma, arthritis or internal derangement of TMJ such as disc displacement. In this study, we present the case of a 48-year-old patient presented with TMJ effusion, diagnosed as resulting from disc displacement without reduction and osteoarthrosis.

Article Synopsis
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) advanced arthroscopic debridement is a minimally invasive surgical procedure debated for its effectiveness in treating intra-articular pain and dysfunction associated with advanced TMJ degenerative disease.
- The study aimed to assess if this procedure improves patients' pain and quality of life while identifying factors influencing these outcomes.
- Conducted at the University of Michigan, the study analyzed 240 subjects over a minimum of three months, focusing on various preoperative and operative variables in relation to quality of life and pain reduction scores.
