Functional Appliance can Improve the TMJ Disk Displacement
Abstract
To evaluate the clinical treatment effect of functional appliance on disc displacement with reduction (DDwR), twenty-three patients were selected. During the treatment, patients underwent specialist temporomandibular joint examination of MRI.We found that the functional appliance can improve the disc displacement, joint clicking, reduce the joint effusion effectively, and promote regeneration for early condylar absorption. The treatment effect to DDwR of disc displacement is better than to DDwoR.
