Temporomandibular Joint Disorders JENNIFER J Temporomandibular Joint Disorders JENNIFER J. BUESCHER, MD, MSPH, Clarkson Family Medicine Residency, Omaha, Nebraska Temporomandibular joint disorders are common in adults; as many as one third of adults report having one or more symptoms, which include jaw or neck pain, headache, and clicking or grating within the joint. Most symptoms improve without treatment, but various noninvasive therapies may reduce pain for patients who have not experi- enced relief from self-care therapies. Physical therapy modalities (e.g., iontophoresis, phonophoresis), psychological therapies (e.g., cognitive behavior therapy), relaxation techniques, and complementary therapies (e.g., acupuncture, hypnosis) are all used for the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders; however, no therapies have been shown to be uniformly superior for the treatment of pain or oral dysfunction. Noninvasive therapies should be attempted before pursuing invasive, permanent, or semi- permanent treatments that have the potential to cause irreparable harm. Dental occlusion therapy (e.g., oral splinting) is a common treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders, but a recent systematic review found insufficient evidence for or against its use.

Egyptian Pediatric Association Gazette (2020) 68:29 Egyptian Pediatric https://doi.org/10.1186/s43054-020-00041-z Association Gazette CASE REPORT Open Access Parotid sialolithiasis and sialadenitis in a 3- year-old child: a case report and review of the literature Nur Eliana Ahmad Tarmizi1, Suhana Abdul Rahim2, Avatar Singh Mohan Singh2, Lina Ling Chooi2, Ong Fei Ming2 and Lum Sai Guan1* Abstract Background: Salivary gland calculi are common in adults but rare in the paediatric population. It accounts for only 3% of all cases of sialolithiasis. Parotid ductal calculus is rare as compared to submandibular ductal calculus. Case presentation: A 3-year-old boy presented with acute painful right parotid swelling with pus discharge from the Stensen duct. Computed tomography revealed calculus obstructing the parotid duct causing proximal ductal dilatation and parotid gland and masseter muscle oedema. The child was treated with conservative measures, and subsequently the swelling and calculus resolved. Conclusions: Small parotid duct calculus in children may be successfully treated with conservative measures which obviate the need for surgery. We discuss the management of parotid sialolithiasis in children and conduct literature search on the similar topic.

These formulations are 500mg and 250mg tablets, and a 10% fine granular preparation in Japan. The company obtained manufacturing and marketing approval on April 22. The drug price listing was on June 19. Daiichi Sankyo drew on PK-PD theory (see note below) to develop the once-daily dosage for the 500mg Cravit® tablet. This tablet lifts the maximum blood concentration and is significantly more bactericidal than the 100mg formulation, taken three times daily, suppressing the development of drug-resistant bacteria. The once-daily dosage of the Cravit® 500mg tablet is an approved standard in more than 120 countries and territories. Since its introduction in December 1993 in Japan, Cravit® has gained approval for treating 43 indications and 32 bacteria. This agent continues to offer outstanding efficacy, and has won accolades for its safety profile. Daiichi Sankyo is confident that its concept of a once-daily dosage of a 500mg tablet will win broad acceptance for improved efficacy and a better suppression of strong bacteria. The company will cultivate this product as a worthy contributor to long-term treatment.

  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders ROBERT L
    Diagnosis and Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders ROBERT L. GAUER, MD, and MICHAEL J. SEMIDEY, DMD, Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, North Carolina Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a heterogeneous group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions involving the temporomandibular joint complex, and surrounding musculature and osseous components. TMD affects up to 15% of adults, with a peak incidence at 20 to 40 years of age. TMD is classified asintra-articular or extra- articular. Common symptoms include jaw pain or dysfunction, earache, headache, and facial pain. The etiology of TMD is multifactorial and includes biologic, environmental, social, emotional, and cognitive triggers. Diagnosis is most often based on history and physical examination. Diagnostic imaging may be beneficial when malocclusion or intra-articular abnormalities are suspected. Most patients improve with a combination of noninvasive therapies, including patient education, self-care, cognitive behavior therapy, pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and occlusal devices. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants are recommended initially, and benzodiazepines or antidepressants may be added for chronic cases. Referral to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is indicated for refrac- tory cases. (Am Fam Physician. 2015;91(6):378-386. Copyright © 2015 American Academy of Family Physicians.)

    © Aluna Publishing Wiadomości Lekarskie, VOLUME LXXIII, ISSUE 6, JUNE 2020 ORIGINAL ARTICLE ADVERSE FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT ON THE COURSE OF CHRONIC PARENCHIMATIC PAROTITIS IN CHILDREN DOI: 10.36740/WLek202006118 Pavlo I. Tkachenko, Serhii O. Bilokon, Yuliia V. Popelo, Nataliia M. Lokhmatova, Olha B. Dolenko, Nataliia M. Korotych UKRAINIAN MEDICAL STOMATOLOGICAL ACADEMY, POLTAVA, UKRAINE ABSTRACT The aim: The study of the presence of disorders in the ante- and postnatal periods of development of children from 2 months to 15 years with chronic parenchimatic parotitis, which may affect its course. Materials and methods: It has been examined and treated 88 children, aged from 2 months to 15 years with chronic parenchimatic parotitis, and their mothers were interviewed, who indicated the pathological course of pregnancy, childbirth and indicated the type of breastfeeding babbies. The scope of the survey included general, additional methods, consultations by related specialists and statistical processing of results. Results: 88 children with the exacerbation of chronic parenchimatic parotitis were examined (42 – (47%) with active course and 46 – (53%) with inactive). The exacerbation occurred on the background of acute infectious processes or coincided with the exacerbation of one of the chronic diseases. The first manifestations occurred in spring (55%) and autumn (36%) periods, 44% of children were hospitalized with other diagnoses. The presence of pathological conditions during pregnancy and birth defects in their mothers were recorded more often 3,5 and 3,3 times, respectively, compared with control. 70% of children received mixed and artificial feeding and were more likely to become ill. Conclusions: The severity of clinical manifestations of inflammation and disorders of the general condition depended on the activity of the course of chronic parenchimatic parotitis and were more pronounced when active.
