Abstract
- AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of combined treatment with elastic bands and splints in patients with masticatory muscle parafunction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 52 people (15 men and 37 women), suffered from masticatory muscle parafunction, were examined. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical and instrumental (electromyography) methods. Pain intensity was determined by using the visual-analog scale. The control group consists of 31 healthy people aged 16 to 31 years. Preliminary treatment of the patients of the main group was carried out by the use of the proposed method (combined treatment with elastic bands and splints).
RESULTS: It was found that the proposed method provides reliable (Z1-3 = –6.40, p1-3 = 0.01) reducing of pain intensity in masticatory muscles by the end of second week of therapy (from 8.17 ± 0.6 to 4.54 ± 0.5 points by the visual-analog scale). It was confirmed by reliable decrease of the bioelectric activity of masticatory muscles. The data for right masseter muscle was 5.7 ± 0.14 mkV (Z = –6.30, p = 0.015) and for the left one was 5.8 ± 0.21 mkV (Z = –6.29, p = 0.01); for right temporal muscle it was 4.1 ± 0.19 mkV (Z = –6.39, p = 0.01) and for left one it was 4.3 ± 0.18 mkV (Z = –6.28, p = 0.015).
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method allows to achieve reliable decrease of the pain intensity in patients with masticatory muscle parafunction.
