Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) occurs as a result of problems with the jaw, jaw joint (TMJ) and surrounding facial muscles. Common treatment included Medication, Splints, and Physiotherapy etc.
But with the advancement in Digital Technology, the evolution of T-Scan and EMG Gadgets helps to resolve these TMD problems in a more scientific manner.
TMD and its relation to Occlusion is scientifically proven with the help of T-Scan and EMG. The treatment is more objective unlike the other methods discussed.
We, at RRDCH, have full fledged Orofacial Pain Clinic with T-Scan, EMG, JVA, Jaw Tracker and Quadra Tens. The recent and more effective and scientifically proven treatment is Disclusion Time Reduction-DTR.
It was a great opportunity to understand DTR in depth from the inventor of DTR, Dr. Robert B. Kerstein.
Dr. Robert B. Kerstein highlightened the concept of DTR. He briefed about Anatomy and Neurophysiology of TMJ. He told about the uses of T-Scan and EMG in TMD.DTR therapy was discussed in detail. He presented few of his Case Reports.
Later, Dr. Prafulla Thumati, enlightened us with a Live Demo of T-Scan .
Dr. Robert B. Kerstein, DMD, is a Pioneer and academic science advocate for digital Occlusal technology. Dr. Kerstein has conducted original research regarding the role that occlusion and lengthy disclusion time plays in the etiology of Chronic Occlusal – Muscle Dysfunction.
