Using computer pantograph in diagnosis craniomandibular dysfunction

Abstract

Disturbances in mandibular kinematics are supposed to be one of the main signs of craniomandibular disorders (CMD). Therefore, recordings of mandibular border movements may offer valuable data in assessing functional efficiency of the OF complex, as well as in diagnosis CM disorders. Recording of the mandibular movements with the computer pantograph Arcus Digma gives numerous particularities of the TMZ kinematics, length and shape of mandibular movements in subjects with and without signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders (CMD). Computer pantograph Arcus digma® has an important application in diagnostics of craniomandibular disorders and treatment evaluation.

Poremećena kinematika donje vilice jedan je od osnovnih znakova CMD-a. S tim u ezi analiza kretnji donje vilice pruža precizne parametre u proceni funkcionalne efikas nosti orofacijalnog kompleksa i dijagnostici CMD-a.Registrovanje kretnji donje vilice kompjuterskim pantografom Arkus digma pruža brojne podatke o kinematici TMZ-a, dijapazonu i toku kretnji donje vilice kod osoba sa i bez znakova (simptoma CMD-a. Stoga se može reći da ima izuzetnu primenu u dijagnostici kraniomandibularnih disfunkcija i praćenju rezultata terapije.
