Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue entitled "The Current Trend in the Management of Bruxism and Temporomandibular Disorders". Bruxism and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) present significant challenges for the dental and medical fields, impacting the quality of life of millions worldwide. The prevalence and severity of these conditions necessitate ongoing research to enhance understanding and treatment outcomes. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements and emerging trends in the management of bruxism and TMDs. It aligns closely with the scope of our journal, which focuses on dental and medical research aimed at improving patient care and outcomes. By compiling a comprehensive collection of articles, we seek to provide valuable insights and practical strategies to clinicians, researchers, and stakeholders in these fields. We aim to include a diverse range of contributions to ensure a robust and informative collection of articles, potentially culminating in a printed book form. We welcome original research articles and reviews covering various aspects of bruxism and TMD management. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Etiology and pathophysiology of bruxism and TMDs;
  • Diagnostic techniques and tools;
  • Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions;
  • Psychosocial aspects and patient management strategies;
  • Emerging technologies and innovative approaches.

We encourage submissions that contribute to advancing our understanding and improving clinical practice in this important area of dental and medical research.

We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

Dr. Luís Eduardo Almeida
Guest Editor

Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the function of the treated temporomandibular joint based on the analysis of the image of the articular path using the Cadiax device depending on the choice of treatment method for unilateral condylar fracture of the mandible. Methods: Sixty patients who were treated for condylar fractures of the mandible at the Maxil-lofacial Surgery Department in Katowice were qualified for the analysis of the range of movements of the mandibular heads using the Cadiax device. From the group of patients who suffered fractures of the mandible, including condylar processes, patients were finally qualified for the measurement of the articular path of the injured and healthy joint according to strict criteria. Results: The condylar examination was performed in 20 patients who had conservative condylar fracture treatment and 40 patients who underwent various surgeries in the course of a single condylar fracture. The control group consisted of 20 patients whose mean values for the articular pathway measured for both sides were 12.73 and 12.69 and fell within the standard developed for healthy joints tested with the Cadiax device. Conclusions: We have achieved an almost ideal treatment for condylar fractures. We are also beginning to notice the need for rehabilitation of patients after this type of surgery. Full article
