Abstract
Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a multifactorial group of musculoskeletal disorders that demand different treatment plans.
Aim: This case report aims to evaluate and determine the dynamic occlusal parameters by detailed computerized occlusal analysis in orthodontic patients with TMJ problems to make a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Material and method: Patients with malocclusion Angle Class Il with TMJ problems were presented. Besides analyses of CO-CR difference and anterior guidance, the presence of premature contacts, Center of occlusal force-COF, time of occlusion and time of disclusion were analyzed with T-Scan Ill system (Tekscan Inc., Boston, MA, USA).
Results: Centric slide more than 2 mm, presence of occlusal interferences, and high values for occlusion and disclusion time respectively were evaluated in these patients. The in-depth occlusal analysis determined non-balanced occlusion.
Conclusion: After the orthodontic adjustments, a new balanced oral system with harmony in the masticatory system function was accomplished with the aid of T-Scan software which presents a valuable method for clinical evaluation and understanding of the occlusal problems.
Keywords: TMD, Angle Class Il, orthodontic treatment, occlusal parameters, T-Scan III system.
