Summary
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) therapy remains an open challenge for modern dentistry. Usually physiotherapy is considered a reliable approach to treatment of TMD patients. Moreover, neuromuscular bites (orthotic) are able to reduce signs and symptoms of TMD. To our knowledge, no specific trials have been designed for the evaluation of the efficiency of physiotherapy vs neuromuscular bites in TMD patients.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficiency in term of cranial muscles electromyography (sEMG), mandibular kinetic (KNG) and subjective pain scores, of orthotic vs manual physiotherapy therapy compared to placebo.
