“…Nishiyama et al . [ 13 ] showed that the true-positive rate of detecting TMD (based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD: RDC/TMD) using the SQ-TMD was very high (81.6%), and the SQ-TMD could be used to screen for TMD in patients with moderate or severe pain and difficulty completing activities of daily living.…”

Background:In this study, we focused on the habits of wind instrumentalists as well as the presence of playing instruments, and investigated associations between the risk of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and playing wind instruments in non-professional musicians.Material and Methods:Seventy-two non-professional players of wind instruments (instrument group) (mean(SD), 20.0(1.1) y; 42 women) and 66 non-players (control group) (22.0(2.6) y; 45 women) participated in this study. Factors were investigated using questionnaires (a screening questionnaire for TMD, instrument playing habits, years of experience, and time played per day).Result:The prevalence of a high risk of TMD was not significantly different between the instrument group (29.2%) and control group (21.2%). In the instrument group, the frequency of subjects who felt mouthpiece pressure in the high risk of TMD group (47.6%) was significantly greater than that in the low risk of TMD group (21.6%). Mouthpiece pressure was found to be a significant factor contributing to a high risk of TMD (odds ratio, 3.31; 95% CI, 1.12–9.79).Conclusion:This study suggests that pressure from the mouthpiece was one of the contributing factors related to a high risk of TMD in non-professional wind instrument players.

Myofascial pain is the most common cause of chronic pain in the masticatory region and can be assessed through clinical analysis and muscle palpation. Generally, it appears with headache and orofacial pain associated with sensitive points (trigger points) due to the excessive contraction of the masticatory muscle fibers. The study aims to evaluate how a correct treatment of myofascial pain can improve the life quality of affected patients. In this case series, 300 patients with myofascial pain were divided into two groups: 150 with intra- and extra-articular disorders and 150 with only extra-articular disorder. Each group included 75 males and 75 females. All the patients were treated with gnathological therapy through passive aligners and biofeedback exercises for four months. They underwent pain assessment (through a visual analogue scale and muscular palpation test) before, during, and after the treatment, as well as nuclear magnetic resonance of the temporomandibular joint before and after the gnathological treatment. The treatment considerably reduced the pain in all patients, without drugs, in four months according to the visual analogue scales and the palpation test. The temporomandibular magnetic resonance in each patient was similar before and after the gnathological treatment. The improvement in pain did not depend on a change in the relationship between the articular condyle and the disc.

Myofascial pain syndrome is the most common cause of TMD, characterised by trigger points of skeletal muscles in the masticatory region. Patients with myofascial pain suffer from orofacial pain and headaches. Parafunctional activity such as unconscious teeth clenching predisposes a higher possibility of developing myofascial pain. We report the results of a prospective study of 10 patients with a myofascial pain diagnosis related to TMD who underwent treatment with passive aligners and biofeedback exercise. All patients underwent pain assessment (visual analogic scale and muscular palpation test), measurement of masseters thickness with Dolphin Imaging Software, nuclear magnetic resonance of the temporomandibular joint, and functional nuclear magnetic resonance of the brain before and after gnathological treatment. The same patients underwent pain assessment (VAS and palpation test) for the entire duration of their treatment. This study aimed to assess if the results obtained with the therapy were repeatable using functional magnetic resonance imaging. This enabled us to correlate a subjective datum (pain) to an objective one (variation in the functional connectivity of the networks correlated to pain perception). According to the pain assessment, the treatment considerably reduced the pain in 9 out of 10 patients. Furthermore, the functional nuclear magnetic resonance of the brain showed similar modifications in the cerebral pain and default mode networks in these nine patients. The change in the masseter muscle dimensions was not correlated with the modification of pain. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of treatment on VAS and trigger point stimulation and on the length and width of the masseter muscle. Linear regression analysis was used to assess a correlation between the modification of the masseter muscle dimension and the amendment of VAS. A paired t-test was used to evaluate statistically significant differences in the connectivity of brain areas of the DMN and the pain network. Our results suggest that the proper treatment of myofascial pain can reduce pain and consistently modify the functional activation of the cerebral pain and default mode networks. Overall, the treatment was repeatable because brain network changes were homogeneous in all patients and did not relate to the intracapsular TMJ condition but only to pain symptoms.
