Abstract

The frequent concurrence of tinnitus, temporomandibular
joint and masticatory muscle disorders has led
to the assumption that a possible relationship exists
between these conditions. The aim of this article is to
report different disorders associated in a single case.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and cervical pain,
tinnitus and bruxism were reported. Bruxism as a condition,
an international expert commission has redefined
as repetitive jaw muscle activity characterized
by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing
or thrusting of the mandible that can occur during
wakefulness (awake bruxism) or during sleep (sleep
bruxism). Tinnitus can be defined as the perception of
sound or noise in the absence of an evident external
stimulus. Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a
collective term that involved a number of clinical problems
including the masticatory muscle, TMJ and associated
structures. Occlusion is commonly considered
to be a major risk factor for TMD. There are studies
about association between dental malocclusion and the
prevalence of TMD in orthodontic patients before and
after orthodontic treatment. The most prevalent types
of dental malocclusions in association with TMD are
deep bite, posterior cross bite and open bite. The aim of
this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation
between bruxism, pathological occlusal changes
and symptoms of TMD. After verifying the causes
and define effects we conducted therapy with occlusal
splint. We can conclude that this type of therapy leaded
in improvement in all symptoms.
Key words: Bruxism, Tinnitus, Dental malocclusions,
TMD.
