CEPHALEA FROM OROFACIAL ORIGIN - CONTEMPORARY DENTAL PROSTHETIC TREATMENT
Session
Dental Sciences
Description
Introduction׃ Cephalea from orofacial origin is manifested in patients diagnosed with different etiological factors such as traumatic occlusion, bruxism and loss of occlusal support. Early diagnosis enables its timely removal.
Aim: Establishment of contemporary dental prosthetic treatment in patients with cephalea from orofacial origin.
Material and methods: In this study 120 patients were diagnosed, followed, analyzed and treated. They were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 60 patients, subdivided by ethiological factors: traumatic occlusion, bruxism and loss of occlusal support. The second group consisted of 60 patients, representing the control group.
The research was performed in the private polyclinic, Kavaja, Pristina, Kosovo and at the PHI University Dental Clinical Center “St. Panteleimon”, Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia.
The diagnosis of traumatic occlusion, bruxism and loss of occlusal support was made with clinical and paraclinical methods. Helkimo Index for dysfunctional changes was applied through anamnestic questionnaires and clinical examinations. A therapeutic approach consisting of three stages was established: first aid, initial therapy and long-term therapy.
Results and Discussion: Patients were appropriately treated medically, followed by removal of the etiological factors. Prosthetic restorations, butterfly deprogrammer and stabilization splints were manufactured (except for the control group). This led to overall success and rehabilitation of the treated patients.
Conclusion׃ This study contributes with a contemporary prosthetic clinical approach to cephalea from orofacial origin. The elimination of pain and etiological factors, preserves the longevity of the definitive prosthetic restorations thus improving patients' quality of life.
