- Treatment of temporomandibular joint syndrome by the use of biofeedback training involves two stages. First, the patient is made aware of the level of tension in the masseter muscle and, second, he is taught to reduce the level of tension. In those individuals whose pain most likely is associated with high muscle tension, this treatment method is apparently successful. The successful treatment of a patient with a history of long-term TMJ pain is described.

- BACKGROUND: Research has suggested that packable resin-based composites inserted with a placement technique similar to amalgam condensation can reduce the sensitivity associated with posterior restorations. The authors evaluated the clinical performance, including associated sensitivity, of two packable composites in a randomized five-year clinical trial. METHODS: A single operator randomly placed two restorations in each of 33 patients: one restoration consisting of Alert (Jeneric/Pentron, Wallingford, Conn.) and the other consisting of SureFil (Dentsply/Caulk, Milford, Del.). There were 30 Class I and 36 Class II restorations. Two independent evaluators evaluated the restorations by using modified U.S. Public Health Service criteria. The authors analyzed data by means of the Fisher, chi(2) and McNemar tests at P < .05. RESULTS: Of 60 restorations evaluated at five years, two Class II restorations (one SureFil, one Alert) failed. All other restorations received the highest score possible for sensitivity and vitality. The only difference between the composites at the five-year recall was the significantly better surface texture of SureFil. The authors observed significantly different scores between the baseline and at five years for marginal discoloration (Alert and SureFil), surface texture (Alert and SureFil) and color (SureFil). CONCLUSIONS: Both packable resin-based composites showed excellent durability during the five-year follow-up. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The investigated resin-based composites are suitable for posterior restorations.

Effects of dentists' behavior on patients' attitudes.

- A group of 16 patients received Class II restorations at two different sessions. During one session a dentist interacted positively with the patient. During another session, the dentist had little interaction with the patients. Patients' ratings indicated that both dentists were perceived as equally competent but that the dentist who interacted with the patients was rated significantly better. It is possible that dentists will gain more satisfaction from their patients as they increase their interaction.

Perceptions of patients' smiles - A comparison of patients' and dentists' opinions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background. Little information has been published regarding the difference between how patients perceive their own smiles and how dentists view them. Methodology. The authors interviewed 78 consecutively seen patients in a general dental practice in Norway about esthetic features of their faces. The patients were not actively seeking esthetic treatment. Patients rated themselves using a 100-point visual analog scale (VAS), and then two dentists (the patients'regular dentist and an independent periodontist), working with photographs of the patients, used the same VAS in rating the patients' smiles. Results. The average age of the patients was 51.2 years (range, 22-84 years). There were 50 women (average age, 51.5 years; range, 22-84 years) and 28 men (average age, 52 years; range, 30-78 years). Patients' satisfaction with their own smiles reached an average of 59.1 (standard deviation [SD], 21.1; range, 5-100) on the VAS. The dentists' scores (38.6 and 40.7) were significantly lower than the patients' scores. The authors observed poor correlation between the periodontist's scores of dentogingival features and the patients' scores. Patients were most satisfied with the gingiva when smiling and least satisfied with tooth shade. Patients younger than 50 years were most satisfied with their smiles. Patients rated teeth and eyes as the most important features in an attractive face. Women gave teeth and hair significantly higher scores and head shape lower scores than did men. Conclusion. Patients' opinions of their own smiles were significantly higher than the two clinicians' assessments of their smiles. Dentists should be aware that patients who seek esthetic services may have different perceptions of their smiles than may patients who do not express such desires.

Craniofacial pain as the sole symptom of cardiac ischemia : a prospective multicenter study
- 2007
-
Ingår i: The Journal of the American Dental Association (1939). - 0002-8177 .- 1943-4723. ; 138:1, s. 74-79

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Craniofacial pain can be the only symptom of cardiac ischemia. Failure to recognize its cardiac source can put the patient's life at risk. The authors conducted a study to reveal the prevalence of, the distribution of and sex differences regarding craniofacial pain of cardiac origin. METHODS: The authors prospectively selected consecutive patients (N = 186) who had had a verified cardiac ischemic episode. They studied the location and distribution of craniofacial and intraoral pain in detail. RESULTS: Craniofacial pain was the only complaint during the ischemic episode in 11 patients (6 percent), three of them who had acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Another 60 patients (32 percent) reported craniofacial pain concomitant with pain in other regions. The most common craniofacial pain locations were the throat, left mandible, right mandible, left temporomandibular joint/ear region and teeth. Craniofacial pain was pre-ponderantly manifested in female subjects (P = .031) and was the dominating symptom in both sexes in the absence of chest pain. CONCLUSIONS: Craniofacial pain commonly is induced by cardiac ischemia. This must be considered in differential diagnosis of toothache and orofacial pain. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Because patients who have AMI without chest pain run a higher risk of experiencing a missed diagnosis and death, the dentist's awareness of this symptomatology can be crucial for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
