IMPLANTS, CROWNS AND DENTURES?

How is the TMJ pain connected to implants, crowns and dentures?

TMJ disorders or TMD can be caused due to a variety of factors. Dental occlusion and jaw position are one of the most important factors in maintaining the health of the TMJ. How the upper snd lower teeth meet with each other, both at rest and during function, will decide the condition of the TMJ and the surrounding muscles. TMJ pain can be an acute issue or even a long term problem that the patient never realised. Even after frequent check ups at the dentists’ office might not be enough. That’s because the knowledge of TMJ is very scarce, even among doctors. The TMJ is not taught at dental or medical school. And this is why even the best ENTs or neurologists or even dentists are not able to help. Only an ICCMO certified Neuromuscular Dentist can help properly diagnose not just the problem but ALL the causes of the problem; and permanently remove them so as to not allow the pain to relapse.

Malocclusion (genetic or due to a faulty growth pattern) will lead to TMD. Placing implants or bridges and completing dental work on the same malocclusion might end the patient up with TMD some day. Not correcting the bite post any dental work using modern technology for micron level precision, will also end a patient in TMD. If you see dental wear and tear, not just on teeth but also the crowns and fillings, there is every possibility that you maybe clenching during the sleep. This directly affects the TMJ and it’s health.
