A influência da mastectomia unilateral na função do sistema estomatognático e na postura corporal / The influence of unilateral mastectomy on the stomatognathic system function and the body posture

Danilo Stefani Esposto 06 April 2017 (has links)
O câncer de mama é a neoplasia que mais acomete mulheres no mundo e o mais comum na população feminina brasileira. A mastectomia é um dos procedimentos realizados para o tratamento e pode ocasionar várias alterações físicas e funcionais como linfedema, limitação de amplitude de movimento, neuropraxia, desequilíbrios musculares e alteração postural. O sistema estomatognático é um complexo sistema que pode ser influenciado na sua função por déficits posturais. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a atividade eletromiográfica em diferentes condições posturais da mandíbula, espessura dos músculos temporal direito (TD) e esquerdo (TE) e masseter direito (MD) e esquerdo (ME), bem como a força de mordida molar máxima, a eficiência mastigatória e a postura corporal de mulheres submetidas à mastectomia unilateral. Participaram 32 mulheres que foram distribuídas em dois grupos: GM, grupo mastectomia unilateral (n=16), idade média de 56,50±14,50 anos e GC, grupo controle sem a doença (n=16), idade média de 56,56±14,15anos. Os grupos foram pareados sujeito a sujeito por idade e índice de massa corporal. O eletromiógrafo Trigno (Delsys Inc., Boston, MA, USA), com eletrodos de superficies wireless, foi utilizado para avaliar a atividade mioelétrica em repouso, lateralidade direita e esquerda, protrusão, apertamento dental em contração voluntária máxima com e sem Parafilme M®. A função mastigatória foi avaliada pela eficiência dos ciclos mastigatórios por meio da integral da envoltória linear do sinal eletromiográfico na mastigação habitual e não habitual. A espessura muscular foi mensurada pela imagem obtida do ultrassom Sono Site Titan em repouso e apertamento dental em contração voluntária máxima. Foi utilizado o dinamômetro digital Kratos na análise da força de mordida molar máxima. A postura estática foi mensurada por meio da fotogrametria. Os dados eletromiográficos normalizados, espessura muscular, força de mordida molar máxima e fotogrametria foram tabulados e submetidos à análise estatística (SPSS 21.0; teste t de student, p <= 0,05). Foi encontrada diferença estatística significante entre o GM e GC na lateralidade direita, para o MD (p = 0,02); lateralidade esquerda, para o TE (p = 0,01); mastigação com amendoim, para o MD (p = 0,04); mastigação com uva-passa, para o ME (p = 0,04); força de mordida molar direita (p = 0,03); ângulos do quadrante superior: triângulo de Talles do lado operado (p = 0,03) e ângulo esternoclavicular (p = 0,00) e ângulos do quadrante inferior: inclinação do pé do lado operado (p = 0,00) e não operado (p = 0,03) e ângulo tibiotársico do lado operado (p = 0,03). Não houve diferença estatística significante entre os GM e GC para espessura muscular e na comparação do lado operado e não operado (em todas as variáveis). Baseado nos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que o sistema estomatognático e a postura corporal de mulheres submetidas à mastectomia unilateral apresentaram alterações funcionais, com destaque para hiperatividade muscular, redução na eficiência mastigatória, menor força de mordida molar e postura corporal inadequada, quando comparadas com mulheres sem a doença. / Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm of women in the world and the most common in the Brazilian population. Mastectomy is one of the procedures performed for the treatment and can cause several physical and functional changes such as lymphedema, range of motion limitation, neuropraxia, muscular imbalances and postural alteration. The stomatognathic system is a complex system that can be influenced in its function by postural deficits. The objective of this study was to analyze the electromyographic activity in different postural conditions of the mandible, thickness of the right (RT) and left (LT) temporal muscle and right (RM) and left (LM) masseter muscle, but also the maximum molar bite strength, masticatory efficiency and body posture of women undergoing unilateral mastectomy. Thirtytwo women were divided into two groups: MG, unilateral mastectomy group (n=16), average age of 56,50±14,50 years and CG, control group without the disease (n=16), average age of 56,56±14,15 years. The groups were matched individual-to-individual by age and body mass index. The Trigno electromyograph (Delsys Inc., Boston, MA, USA) with wireless surface electrodes was used to evaluate myoelectric activity at rest, right and left laterality, protrusion, maximum voluntary contraction of teeth with and without Parafilm M®. The masticatory function was evaluated by the efficiency of the masticatory cycles using the integral of the linear envelope averages of the electromyographic signal in habitual and non-habitual mastication. The muscular thickness was measured by the image obtained from the Sono Site Titan ultrasound at rest and maxillary voluntary contraction. The Kratos digital dynamometer was used to analyze the maximum molar bite force. Static posture was measured using photogrammetry. The normalized electromyographic data, muscle thickness, maximum molar bite force and photogrammetry were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis (SPSS 21.0; Student t test, p <= 0.05). A significant statistical difference was found between MG and CG in right laterality, for RM (p = 0,02); left laterality, for LT (p = 0,01); chewing with peanuts, for RM (p = 0,04); chewing with raisins, for LM (p = 0,04); right molar bite force (p = 0,03); upper quadrant angles: Thales triangle operated side (p = 0,03) and sternoclavicular joint angle (p = 0,00) and lower quadrant angles: foot angle operated (p = 0,00) and nonoperated side (p = 0,03) and tibiotarsal angle operated side (p = 0,03). There was no statistically significant difference between MG and CG for muscle thickness and in the comparison of the operated and non-operated side (in all variables). Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the stomatognathic system and the body posture of women submitted to unilateral mastectomy presented functional alterations, with emphasis on muscular hyperactivity, reduction in masticatory efficiency, lower molar bite force and inadequate body posture when compared to women without the disease.

Influência da idade e do gênero na força de mordida molar máxima e espessura dos músculos mastigatórios / Influence of age and gender on the maximum molar bite force and thickness of masticatory muscles

Marcelo Palinkas 23 April 2010 (has links)
O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a influência da idade e do gênero na obtenção da força de mordida molar máxima e traçar os critérios de normalidade do desenvolvimento muscular mastigatório em 177 indivíduos dentados com idade entre 7 a 80 anos divididos em cinco grupos etários. Grupo I (7 a 12 anos); II (13 a 20 anos); III (21 a 40 anos); IV (41 a 60 anos) com 20 homens e 20 mulheres em cada grupo; grupo V (61 a 80 anos) formado por nove mulheres e oito homens. Todos os participantes classificados como oclusão normal, respiradores nasais, sem hábitos parafuncionais e sintomas de disfunção temporomandibular. Os registros da força de mordida molar máxima foram realizados utilizando dinamômetro com capacidade até 100kgf, adaptado às condições bucais. O maior valor entre três registros executados foi considerado a força de mordida molar máxima do indivíduo. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística multivariada (SPSS 17.0). A espessura do músculo foi mensurada com ultrassom Sonosite Titan usando um transdutor linear 56 mm de 10 MHz de alta resolução. Foram adquiridas três imagens ultrassonográficas dos músculos masseter e porção anterior do músculo temporal, de ambos os lados, na posição de repouso e apertamento em contração voluntária máxima. As médias das três medidas de cada condição clínica foram tabuladas e submetidas à análise estatística multivariada (SPSS 17.0). Verificou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,01) para todas as comparações efetuadas entre os diferentes grupos etários com relação à força de mordida molar máxima e espessura muscular. Além disso, observou-se que a força de mordida molar máxima, de ambos os lados, foi significantemente maior nos homens em relação às mulheres. A espessura dos músculos estudados aumentou gradativamente até a idade adulta, diminuindo na velhice. / The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of age and gender on maximum molar bite force and set up the criteria of normality of the masticatory muscle development in a sample of 177 dentate individuals aged 7-80 years and divided into five age groups. Groups I (7-12 years), II (13-20 years), III (21-40), and IV (41-60) with 20 males and 20 females each; group V (61-80 years) composed of nine female and eight male individuals. All participants classified as normal occlusion, nasal breathing with no parafunctional habits and no symptoms of temporomandibular disorders. Maximum molar bite force was recorded with a mouth-adapted 100 Kgf dynamometer and the highest out of three records was regarded as the maximum molar bite force. The data were submitted to multivariate statistical analysis (SPSS 17.0). Muscle thickness was measured with a SonoSite Titan ultrasound tool using a high-resolution real-time 56 mm/10 MHz linear-array transducer. Three ultrasound images were obtained from the bilateral masseter and temporalis muscles at rest and at maximum clenching voluntary contraction. The means of the three measures in each clinical condition were analyzed with multivariate statistical analysis (SPSS 17.0). Statistically significant differences (p<0.01) in maximum molar bite force and muscle thickness were found in all comparisons between the age groups. Furthermore, we observed that the bilateral maximum molar bite force was significantly higher in men as compared to women. The thickness of the muscles increased gradually until adulthood, decreasing in the old age.

A influência da idade na análise do limiar de fadiga eletromiográfica dos músculos da mastigação em indivíduos saudáveis / The influence of age on the analysis of the electromyographic fatigue threshold of chewing muscles in healthy individuals

Lígia Franco Oliveira 16 February 2017 (has links)
A fadiga neuromuscular pode ser induzida por contrações isométricas sustentadas para determinar o desempenho funcional muscular do organismo humano ao longo dos anos. A finalidade desta pesquisa foi determinar o limiar de fadiga eletromiográfica dos músculos masseter e temporal (bilateral), por meio do espectro da frequência mediana (FM), de crianças, jovens, adultos e idosos, com intuito de traçar parâmetros que possam ser considerados normais em função da idade. Cento e setenta indivíduos brasileiros dentados completos (exceto o Grupo I com dentição mista) sem disfunção temporomandibular foram distribuídos em cinco Grupos Etários: I (7-12 anos, n=38), II (13-20 anos, n=36), III (21-40 anos, n=40), IV (41-60 anos, n=40) e V (61-80 anos, n=16). Foi utilizado o eletromiógrafo Myosystem-Br1 para análise do sinal EMG normalizado na condição de fadiga muscular. Os dados da FM do sinal EMG foram obtidos pelos valores do janelamento de 5s durante o período inicial (PI), médio (PM) e final (PF) do sinal EMG. O apertamento dental em contração voluntária máxima foi o fator que determinou a fadiga muscular e normalizou os dados EMG que foram tabulados e submetidos para análise estatística (ANOVA e medidas repetidas; SPSS 22.0; p < 0,05). Foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas significantes entre as faixas etárias no PM (p=0,05) para o músculo temporal direito; PI (p=0,02) e PF (p=0,01) para o músculo temporal esquerdo. Houve decréscimo linear da FM entre os períodos do sinal EMG para todos os grupos etários em relação aos músculos masseteres e temporais, com diferenças estatísticas significantes, exceto masseter esquerdo Grupo V (p=0,00 para cada análise). Baseados nos resultados desta pesquisa, o fator idade influenciou o sinal eletromiográfico normalizado no processo de fadiga neuromuscular e demonstrou que existe declínio linear no decorrer do sinal eletromiográfico para os músculos masseter e temporal. Este estudo contribuiu para a comunidade científica, porque demonstrou parâmetros do sinal eletromiográfico de indivíduos saudáveis na condição de fadiga durante o envelhecimento humano, adequados para serem utilizados em trabalhos futuros de comparação do sistema muscular esquelético saudável e com alterações morfofuncionais. / Neuromuscular fatigue can be induced by sustained isometric contractions to determine the functional muscular performance of the human body over the years. The aim of this research was to determine the EMG fatigue threshold of the masseter and temporal muscle (bilateral), through the median frequency (MF) spectrum, of children, young adults and elderly, in order to draw parameters that can be considered normal according to age. A total of 170 full-toothed Brazilian subjects (except Group I with mixed dentition) without temporomandibular dysfunction were distributed in five Age Groups: I (7-12 years, n = 38), II (13-20 years, n = 36), III 21-40 years, n = 40), IV (41-60 years, n = 40) and V (61-80 years, n = 16). The Myosystem-Br1 electromyograph was used to analyze the normalized EMG signal in the muscular fatigue condition. The MF data of the EMG signal were obtained by the windowing values of 5s during the initial period (IP), mean (MP) and final (FP) of the EMG signal. The teeth clenching in maximal voluntary contraction was the factor that determined muscle fatigue and normalized the EMG data that were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis (ANOVA and repeated measures, SPSS 22.0, P <0.05). Significant statistical differences were found between the age groups in the MP (p = 0.05) for the right temporal muscle; IP (P = 0.02) and FP (P = 0.01) for left temporal muscle. There was a linear decrease in MF between the EMG signal periods for all age groups in relation to the masseter and temporalis muscles, with significant statistical differences, except left masseter - Group V (P = 0.00 for each analysis). Based on the results of this research, the age factor influenced the normalized EMG signal in the process of neuromuscular fatigue and demonstrated that there is a linear decline during the EMG signal for the masseter muscle and temporal muscle. This study should be useful for the scientific community because it demonstrates parameters of the EMG signal of healthy individuals in fatigue condition during human aging, suitable for use in future studies of comparison of healthy skeletal muscle system with morphofunctional changes

Electromyography and bite force studies of muscular function and dysfunction in masticatory muscles

Hagberg, Catharina January 1986 (has links)
Electromyographic (EMG) activity versus bite force was studied during a gradually increased isometric contraction up to maximal effort for patients with painful masseter muscles and referents. The masseter muscle, the anterior temporal muscle and the descending part of the trapezius muscle were chosen for the recordings. Bite force was registered with a bite force sensor placed between the first molars. The effects of double blind intramuscular injections of lidocaine and saline in the patients' masseter muscle were evaluated by EMG versus bite force and by assessments of discomfort. EMG activity during unilateral chewing was compared in terms of relative masticatory force between referents and patients by amplitude probability distribution analysis. Regression analyses showed intra-individually steeper slopes for high force levels than for low force levels for the masseter muscle. This was not observed for the anterior temporal muscle. These differences in slopes of the EMG versus force regressions for the masseter muscle and the anterior temporal muscle could be due to differences in recruitment pattern. The same intra-individual relationship between low and high force levels was found for referents and patients. An increased activity, especially among the patients, was found for the descending part of the trapezius muscle during stronger activity of the mandibular elevators. The EMG versus force relationship for low force levels of the masseter muscle was less steep after an intramuscular injection of lidocaine but not after saline. Both solutions for injection had a positive effect on the patients' assessments of discomfort one week after the injection. Three days after injection the patients who received lidocaine experienced a reduction in muscular discomfort. This reduction was not found among patients receiving saline. The amplitude probability distribution analysis revealed that the patients used greater relative masticatory forces than the referents during the chewing of an almond for all probability levels analysed below the peak load of the masseter muscles. Rough estimates of the peak masticatory forces in Newton (N) were for chewing an almond 364 N (referents); 373 N (patients) and for gum-chewing 239 N (referents); 238 N (patients) as regards the masseter muscle. The values were similar for the anterior temporal muscle. / digitalisering@umu

Sex Differences in Jaw Muscle Duty Factors During Exercise in Two Environments: A Pilot Study

Reynolds, Adam K., Nickel, Jeffrey C., Liu, Ying, Leeper, Danielle K., Riffel, Kelsey M., Liu, Hongzeng, Iwasaki, Laura R. 01 October 2016 (has links)
It is unknown if females and males use jaw muscles similarly during exercise. This pilot study assessed jaw elevator muscle duty factors (DFs = time of muscle activity/total recording time) at repeated sessions to test if DFs are reliable and different between sexes during exercises in two environments. Ten female and seven male subjects recruited from university soccer teams provided informed consent. Surface electromyography was recorded from masseter and temporalis muscles during biting and leg-extension laboratory exercises. Average activities to produce 20 N bite-forces for each muscle and subject determined thresholds (5-80%·T20 N) for subject-specific DF calculations during exercises performed in laboratory and natural environments. Subjects self-recorded via portable electromyography equipment during in-field leg-extension and weight-lifting exercises. Effects of variables on DFs were assessed via ANOVA (α = 0.05) and simple effects testing (Bonferroni-adjusted p ≤ 0.012). All subjects used jaw muscles during exercises in both environments. DFs between laboratory sessions were reliable (R = 0.84). During laboratory exercises, male temporalis DFs were significantly higher than female DFs from both muscles (p ≤ 0.001). During in-field exercises females had higher DFs during weight-lifting while males had higher DFs during leg-extensions. In-field sex differences were significant at most thresholds and showed larger effect sizes for leg-extension compared to weight-lifting exercises.

Riddle, Paige Covington, Nickel, Jeffrey C., Liu, Ying, Gonzalez, Yoly M., Gallo, Luigi M., Scott Conley, R., Dunford, Robert, Liu, Hongzeng, Iwasaki, Laura R. 01 November 2020 (has links)
Objectives: To test the hypotheses that mechanobehavior scores (MBS) were correlated with mandibular ramus lengths (Co-Go) and differed between facial phenotypes. Materials and Methods: Subjects gave informed consent to participate. Co-Go (mm), mandibular plane angles (SN-GoGn, °), and three-dimensional anatomy were derived from cephalometric radiography or cone beam computed tomography. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) energy densities (ED) (mJ/mm3) were measured using dynamic stereometry and duty factors (DF) (%) were measured from electromyography, to calculate MBS (= ED2 3 DF, (mmmJ3)2%) for each TMJ. Polynomial regressions, K-means cluster analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey post-hoc tests were employed. Results: Fifty females and 23 males produced replete data. Polynomial regressions showed MBS were correlated with Co-Go (females, R2 = 0.57; males, R2 = 0.81). Cluster analysis identified three groups (P<.001). Dolichofacial subjects, with shorter normalized Co-Go, clustered into two subgroups with low and high MBS compared to brachyfacial subjects with longer Co-Go. SN-GoGn was significantly larger (P<.03) in the dolichofacial subgroups combined (33.0 ± 5.98) compared to the brachyfacial group (29.8 ± 5.58). Conclusions: MBS correlated with Co-Go within sexes and differed significantly between brachyfacial and dolichofacial subjects.

Masseter and temporalis muscle thickness as assessed by ultrasound – a proof-of-concept study

Mattsson, Jennifer, Carlsson, Amanda January 2020 (has links)
Syfte: Den aktuella studien är en metodstudie för att undersöka möjligheten att mäta förändringar i muskeltjocklek med ultraljud. Om detta fungerar kan metoden användas i studier som för närvarande undersöker om muskeltjocklek eller förändringar i muskeltjocklek vid användning är relaterade till orofacial smärta.Material och metod: Tjugotvå friska forskningsindivider undersöktes. Alla forskningsindivider svarade negativt på de tre screeningfrågorna för temporomandibulär dysfunktion. Ultraljudsundersökningen utfördes för att utvärdera massetermuskelns och temporalismuskeln tjocklek (tjockaste delen och på en standardiserad plats för varje muskel) bilateralt som ett surrogatmått för det totala muskelblodflödet i vila och under hopbitning före och efter en tuggövning. Individen skulle tugga tre smaklösa paraffintuggummi med en frekvens av 90 Hz (90 tugg per minut) under 5 minuter. Individen svarade också på tre frågor om muskelsmärta, trötthet och obehag före och efter tuggövningen.Resultat: Vid jämförelse av muskeltjockleken i vila kontra hopbitning, både före och efter tuggövningen, var resultaten att massetermuskeln är tjockare vid hopbitning än vid vila. Resultaten var signifikant för masseter men inte för den temporalis. Resultaten avseende NRS-skalorna, som visade en ökning i värde efter tuggövningen, var enligt den statistiska analysen signifikanta.Slutsats: Denna studie visar att bedömning av muskeltjocklek med ultraljud är möjlig för masseter eftersom metoden kan upptäcka skillnader mellan vila och hopbitning. / Aim: The current study is a proof-of-concept study to investigate the possibility to measure changes in muscle thickness with ultrasound. If this works, the methodology can be used in studies that are currently investigating whether muscle thickness or changes in muscle thickness in use are related to orofacial pain. Materials and method: Twentytwo healthy research individuals were examined. All of the research individuals answered negatively on the three screening questions for temporomandibular disorders. The ultrasound examination was performed to assess masseter and temporal muscle thickness (thickest part at one standardized location for each muscle) bilaterally as a surrogate measure of total muscle blood flow at rest and during clenching before and after a chewing exercise. The subject would chew three paraffin wax taste-less chewing gums at a frequency of 90 Hz (90 chews per minute) for 5.0 minutes. The subject also answered three questions about muscle pain, fatigue and discomfort before and after chewing. Result: When comparing the muscle thickness at rest versus clenching, both before and after the chewing exercise, the results were that the masseter muscle is thicker when clenching than at rest. The difference was significant for the masseter but not for the temporal muscle. The results obtained regarding the NRS-scales, which showed an increase in value after the chewing exercise was according to the statistical analysis significant. Conclusion: This study shows that assessment of muscle thickness with ultrasound is feasible for the masseter muscle since the method is capable of detecting differences between rest and clenching.

Efeito do front-plateau na atividade eletromiográfica, no limiar de dor a pressão e na força de mordida de pacientes com mialgia local nos músculos da mastigação: estudo preliminar / Effect of front-plateau on electromyographic activity, pressure pain threshold, and bite strength of patients with local myalgia in mastication muscles: preliminary study

Santos, Elaine Cristina Sousa dos 24 August 2017 (has links)
A dor orofacial compreende todas as dores que envolvem os tecidos moles e mineralizados da cavidade oral e da face, pode ser referida na região da cabeça e/ou pescoço. A etiologia da disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é multifatorial, são distúrbios musculoesqueléticos que afetam o sistema estomatognático, os músculos mastigatórios e/ou estruturas associadas. Uma disfunção muito prevalente é a dor miofascial. O front-plateau é um dispositivo de resina acrílica instalado nos dentes superiores anteriores, que desoclui os dentes posteriores, proporcionando desprogramação neuromuscular. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade eletromiográfica, o limiar de dor à pressão (LDP) dos músculos temporal e masseter, e a força de mordida molar máxima de participantes com dor miofascial, antes e após a instalação da placa anterior \"front-plateau\". As participantes foram recrutadas e atendidas na Clínica de Dor Orofacial do DAPE da FORP-USP. Para tanto, foram avaliadas 22 mulheres entre 20 e 60 anos. As participantes foram submetidas inicialmente aos exames de eletromiografia (EMG), eletromiógrafo MyoSystem-Br1, limiar de dor a pressão (LDP) algômetro Kratos® e foi aferida força de mordida molar máxima (FMM) por meio do dinamômetro Kratos® IDDK. Foram formados dois grupos, no grupo 1 (G1) 11 participantes usaram o front-plateau por sete dias, 16 horas nos três primeiros dias e por oito horas nos próximos quatro dias, sendo que o tratamento foi interrompido após este período. O grupo 2 (G2), com 11 participantes, iniciou o tratamento idem ao G1 e após sete dias continuaram usando o front-plateau por oito horas diárias por mais três semanas, totalizando 1 mês de uso. Após o tratamento, as participantes dos dois grupos foram novamente avaliadas quatro semanas após a primeira avaliação. Os dados foram analisados com auxílio do software R (R® Foundation for Statistical Computing, Áustria). Os valores reais ou transformados das variáveis foram comparados entre os tratamentos, dias de avaliação e sua interação pela Analise de Variância (ANOVA) em um delineamento interamente casualizado com medidas repetidas no tempo. Para as variáveis que apresentaram diferença estatística, as médias foram comparadas pelo pós-teste de Tukey (p<0,05) e os dados apresentados como a média ± o erro padrão (EP). Foi encontrado relevância estatística em todas as variáveis das análises feitas pelo algômetro durante a utilização do front-plateau, havendo diminuição da sensibilidade dolorosa e aumento do LDP em todos os músculos analisados. Não houve qualquer alteração estatisticamente significativa na FMM no período de utilização do front plateau. Na eletromiografia foi encontrados valores significativos nos padrões posturais de lateralidade direita (LD) e lateralidade esquerda (LE) e mastigação de uva-passa (MU) entre os grupos. Podemos concluir que durante o período de uso do front-plateau houve elevação do LDP (reduzindo a sensibilidade à dor) sendo que após a interrupção do tratamento essa variável retornou às condições iniciais; Na EMG foi observado diminuição do estímulo elétrico para padrões posturais de LD, LE e MU. Porém a FMM não foi modificada durante a utilização do dispositivo. / Orofacial pain comprises all pains involving the soft and mineralized tissues of the oral cavity and face, it can be felt in the region of the head and/or neck. The etiology of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is multifactorial. Its defined as musculoskeletal disorders that affect the stomatognathic system, the masticatory muscles and/or associated structures. A very prevalent dysfunction is myofascial pain. Front-plateau is an acrylic resin device installed in the anterior superior teeth, which separates the posterior teeth, providing neuromuscular deprogramming. The purpose of this study was to assess the electromyographic activity, the pain threshold at the temporal and masseter muscles, and the maximum molar bite strength of participants with myofascial pain, before and after the installation of the front-plateau. Participants were recruited and cared at the FORP-USP DAPE Orofacial Pain Clinic. Twenty two women between 20 and 60 years old were evaluated. The participants were initially submitted to electromyography (EMG) tests, MyoSystem-Br1 electromyograph, pressure pain threshold (PPT), Kratos® algometer, and maximal molar bite force (MMB), Kratos® IDDK dynamometer. Two groups were formed, in group 1 (G1) 11 participants used the front-plateau for seven days, 16 hours on the first three days and for eight hours on the next four days, and treatment was stopped after this period. Group 2 (G2), with 11 participants, started the treatment identical to G1 and after seven days they continued using the front-plateau for eight hours daily for another three weeks, totaling one month of use. After treatment, participants from both groups were reassessed four weeks after the first evaluation. The data were analyzed using R software (R® Foundation for Statistical Computing, Austria). The real or transformed values of the variables were compared between the treatments, evaluation days and their interaction by the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in an inter randomized design with repeated measures in time. For the variables that presented statistical difference, the means were compared by Tukey\'s post-test (p <0.05) and the data presented as the mean ± standard error (SE). A statistically significant value was found in all the variables analyzed by the algometer. There was a decrease in pain sensitivity and an increase in the pressure pain threshold (PPT) in all muscles analyzed. There was no statistically significant change in the maximum bite force during the period of use of the front-plateau. In electromyography, significant values were found in the postural patterns of right laterality (RL) and left laterality (LL) and chewing of raisins (CR). We can conclude that during the period of use of the front-plateau there was elevation of the PPT (reducing the sensitivity to pain) returning to the initial conditions after removal of the device; It was observed a decrease in the electrical stimulus for postural patterns of RL, LL and CR. However, the MMB was not modified during the use of the device.

Avaliação eletromiografica, força de mordida e mobilidade mandibular em indivíduos com fraturas de terço médio e superior da face / Evaluation electromyographic, bite force and jaw mobility in patients with midface and upper face fractures

Spagnol, Guilherme 15 January 2016 (has links)
O trauma de face pode ser considerado um problema de saúde pública, principalmente pelo elevado número de indivíduos envolvidos em acidentes, que acabam fraturando os ossos da face. Este estudo avaliou força de mordida, atividade eletromiográfica (EMG) e mobilidade mandibular em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia para tratamento de fraturas de face que necessitaram de acesso cirúrgico tipo coronal. A amostra foi constituída por 10 indivíduos distribuídos em dois grupos distintos: Grupo 1 fraturas de face tratadas cirurgicamente com acesso coronal (n=6); e Grupo 2 fraturas de face tratadas cirurgicamente com acesso coronal com extensão pré-auricular (n=4) e um Grupo Controle demonstrativo composto de pessoas saudáveis pareados em idade e medidas antropométricas com os grupos. Foi avaliada a força de mordida molar máxima por meio de dinamômetro digital; atividade eletromiográfica do músculo masseter direito (MD), masseter esquerdo (ME), temporal direito (TD), temporal esquerdo (TE) por meio do eletromiógrafo MyoSystem-Br1; e mobilidade mandibular utilizando o paquímetro digital. Os períodos avaliados após tratamento cirúrgico do trauma de face foram de 1, 2, 3 e 6 meses. Os dados eletromiográficos, força de mordida e mobilidade mandibular foram tabulados e submetidos à análise estatística (SPSS 21.0) e foi utilizado o teste de medidas repetidas com nível de significância de 5% e intervalo de confiança de 95%. Foi encontrada diferença estatística significante para atividade EMG na lateralidade esquerda para o músculo TD (p=0,02) e contração voluntária máxima para o músculo MD (p=0,04) e músculo TD (p=0,04); na força de mordida molar máxima direita (p=0,00) e esquerda (p=0,01) ao longo do tempo de 1, 2, 3 e 6 meses, após o acesso coronal com extensão. Houve diferença estatística significante ao longo do tempo de 1, 2, 3 e 6 meses, após o acesso coronal para atividade EMG em repouso para o músculo ME (p=0,00), lateralidade esquerda para o músculo TD (p=0,04), contração voluntária máxima para os músculos: MD (p=0,05), ME (p=0,00), TE (p=0,01) e na força de mordida molar máxima esquerda (p=0,01). Os autores concluíram que após a fixação interna estável das fraturas utilizando acesso cirúrgico coronal, os indivíduos recuperaram a atividade eletromiográfica mastigatória, aumentaram a força de mordida molar máxima e aumentaram a mobilidade mandibular, ao longo do tempo avaliado. / The facial trauma can be considered a public health problem, particularly the large number of individuals involved in accidents, exhibit face and skull fractures. Studies assessing skeletal muscle behavior after surgical treatment of facial fractures and its functional consequences in the stomatognathic system are of great value to clarify suffered changes and their evolution, and thus can indicate an individualized treatment method benefiting individuals who suffered injure of face. This study aimed to evaluate bite force, electromyographic activity and jaw mobility in patients undergoing surgery for facial fractures that required surgical coronal flap. Ten individuals with fractures of facial bone participate this study divided into two distinct groups: Group 1 complex fractures of face surgically treated by coronal flap (n = 6) and Group 2 - complex fractures of face surgically treated by coronal flap with preauricular approach (n = 4). It was evaluated maximum molar bite force through digital dynamometer; electromyographic activity of the masseter right masseter (RM), left masseter (LM), right temporal (RT), left temporal (RT) muscles, through Myosystem-Br1 and mandibular mobility electromyography using digital pachymeter. During postoperative follow-up, bite force, mandible mobility, and electromyographic analysis of the masticatory muscles were evaluated 1, 2, 3 and 6 months and were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis (SPSS 21.0) and was used the test repeated measurements with 5% significance level and 95% confidence interval. It found statistically significant differences for EMG activity in the left laterality for RT muscle (p = 0.02) and maximal voluntary contraction of the muscle RM (p = 0.04) and muscle RT (p = 0.04); the right (p = 0.00) and left (p = 0.01) maximum molar bite force, over the time of 1, 2, 3 and 6 months, after coronal access with extension. There was no statistically significant difference over time of 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after coronal access to EMG activity at rest for LM muscle (p = 0.00), left laterality for RT muscle (p = 0.04), maximal voluntary contraction of the muscles: RM (p = 0.05), LM (p = 0.00) , LT (p = 0.01) and left maximum molar bite force (p = 0.01). The authors concluded that the stable internal fixation with coronal surgical approach regained masticatory electromyographic activity, increased the maximum molar bite force and increased mandibular mobility of individuals affected by facial fractures medium and upper third, over time.

Avaliação da eficácia em curto prazo do uso de placas estabilizadoras oclusais de cobertura total e dispositivos NTI (nociceptive trigeminal inhibitory splint) no tratamento da dor miofascial da musculatura mastigatória / Short-term evaluation of efficacy of the use of stabilization occlusal splint and NTI (nociceptive trigeminal inhibitory splint) in the treatment of the myofascial pain from masticatory muscles

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi testar a hipótese de que o tratamento através de aparelhos oclusais é benéfico na melhora dos sinais e sintomas da Dor Miofascial (DMF) de origem mastigatória quando comparado a um grupo controle. Para isso, 51 indivíduos foram avaliados segundo os critérios estabelecidos pelo Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/ TMD) para determinar a presença de Dor Miofascial. Essa amostra foi então dividida de maneira randomizada e estratificada em três grupos: 21 pacientes receberam tratamento com placa estabilizadora rígida com cobertura total e técnicas de aconselhamento e mudanças comportamentais para pacientes com DTM (Disfunção Temporomandibular), 16 receberam o dispositivo NTI e técnicas de aconselhamento e mudanças comportamentais para pacientes com DTM e 14 participaram como grupo controle, recebendo apenas técnicas de aconselhamento e mudanças comportamentais para pacientes com DTM. Os dispositivos foram instalados e utilizados em uso parcial (noturno), os controles realizados após duas, seis semanas e três meses. Nos retornos, os pacientes foram avaliados quanto a EAV (Escala de Análise Visual), abertura bucal ativa e algometria (exame para análise do limiar de dor a pressão (LDP) realizado com o auxílio de um algômetro da marca KRATOS capaz de medir a pressão em Kgf). Ainda foram avaliados possíveis efeitos colaterais como desconforto ao uso dos aparelhos oclusais. Os resultados foram analisados com os testes estatísticos: Teste Qui-Quadrado, Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA e Turkey, adotando-se um nível de significância de 0,05. Os três grupos apresentaram melhora nos sinais e sintomas de DMF, sugerindo que o tratamento com aparelhos oclusais e técnicas de aconselhamento e mudanças comportamentais parece ser benéfico ao paciente. No entanto, o uso de aparelhos oclusais parece levar a uma melhora mais rápida. O tratamento através das placas estabilizadoras oclusais parece ser mais seguro e efetivo e os dispositivos NTI necessitam de mais estudos em longo prazo para confirmar sua eficácia, assim como a ausência de efeitos adversos. / The aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that the treatment with intraoral appliances with different occlusal designs is beneficial in the management of symptoms and signs of masticatory Myofascial Pain (MMP) when compared to a control group. 51 patients were analyzed according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/ TMD) in order to obtain the diagnostic of Myofascial Pain. Then the sample was randomly divided into three groups: 21 patients were treated with acrylic stabilization occlusal splint ; 16 received an anterior device (NTI (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibitory System)) and 14 patients received couseling and orientations for behavioral changes (control group). The two previous groups also received orientations and counseling. The devices were installed and weared in partial time (only during sleep), and the follow-ups were performed after 2, 6 weeks and three months. In these sessions, patients were evaluated according the visual scale of pain (VAS), maximum mouth opening and masticatory muscle algometry, able to determine the pain pressure threshold (PPT)(KRATOS, Brazil). Possible adverse effects were also analyzed such as comfort in the use of the appliance and occlusal alterations. The results were analyzed with Chi-Square test, Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA and Turkey, with significance level of 5%. The three groups showed improvement in signs and symptoms of MMP, suggesting that occlusal appliances and behavioural orientations may be benefical in the treatment of this condition. However, the management with occlusal appliance and orientations seems to have an earlier effect. Long term studies with the NTI device are needed to establish its safety and absence of adverse dental effects.
