Abstract: Introduction: In the last two decades, social, psychological and psychiatric factors have been accepted as part of the etiology of Craniomandibular Disorders and Bruxing Behavior. Little is known about the relationship of these disorders with hostility and depression in those reporting nightmares.Goals: Evaluate scores in depression and hostility in Craniomandibular Disorders individuals with and without history of current nightmares. Methods: Medical records of Craniomandibular Disorders and Bruxing Behavior subjects with and without history of current nightmares were consecutively retrieved from a database and retrospectively evaluated. Clinical examination, history of chief complaint self-report, questionnaires, palpation, biomechanical testes, the Cook and Medley questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory were used to gather data. A self-reported instrument was used.....

Abstract: Introduction: Nightmares constitute moderate to severe sleep disorders that may be reported by craniomandibular disorders and bruxing behavior subjects and may indicate psychopathology. Little is known about these complex interrelationships. Goals: Evaluate scores in dissociation, somatization and suppressed anger in Craniomandibular Disorders and Bruxing Behavior subjects who reported nightmares at the time of examination. Methods: Medical records of Craniomandibular Disorders and Bruxing Behavior subjects with and without history of current nightmares previously referred to an Orofacial Pain Unit were consecutively retrieved from a database and retrospectively assessed. Clinical examination, history of the chief complaint, self-report, a set of questionnaires, palpation of muscles and joints, biomechanical tests to diagnose type of internal derangement of the temporomandibular......

Abstract: Introduction: Even though there are subgroups of Craniomandibular Disorders and bruxing behavior individuals perfectly normal in their psychological make up, others may be severely disturbed in the spheres of dissociation, somatization and sleep. Methods: Clinical examination, self-reports, biomechanical tests, self-reported questionnaires, the Bernstein and Putnam and the Rief and Hiller instruments for Dissociation and Somatization respectively, were used to examined CMDs and BB subjects referred consecutively to an OrofacialPain Unit over a period of 10 years. The clinical records were stored in a database. Dental and Medical records of 40 subjects in each category of dissociation (scores 0-10; 11-20; 21-29, 30 or higher and Controls no CMDs), were consecutively retrieved......

Abstract: Introduction: Jutting the jaw forward is the oral jaw behavior of consciously or unconsciously displacing the mandible anteriorly and/or laterally with no functional purposes that usually occurs together with other oral jaw behaviors. Goals: Determine the reasons reported by Craniomandibular Disorders and Bruxing behavior subjects for jutting the jaw forward. Methods: The clinical records of 45 Craniomandibular and Bruxing Behavior subjects presenting with the behavior of jutting the jaw forward were reviewed retrospectively. Self-reported questionnaires, clinical examination, biomechanical tests to determine signs and symptoms of Craniomandibular Disorder and Bruxing Behavior, presence and amount of bruxing behavior, types of oral jaw behaviors and questions about.......

Abstract: Introduction: Paraesthesia is a rare neuropathic phenomenon described in the orofacial region. However, in the presence of occipital neuralgia, pain and paraesthesia in the teeth and face respectively, are reported frequently. There is little information about these symptoms. Goals: Evaluate anatomic areas where paraesthesia is reported by Craniomandibular Disorders and Occipital Neuralgia subjects as compared to subjects with Migraine and Tension-Type Headache. Methods: Clinical examination, palpation of joint and muscles, questionnaires, self-report, clinical examination and history of the chief complaint were used in 80, 85 and 30 individuals with Craniomandibular Disorders and occipital neuralgia, Craniomandibular Disorders and tension-type headache and Craniomandibular......

Abstract: Introduction: The articular disk is the most important anatomic structure in the temporomandibular joint. It is constituted primarily by collagens and elastic fibers, peripheral nerve endings, cells and extracellular matrix. Studies describing the status of the joint disk anatomically and histologically are extremely scarce. Goal: Use the current literature to describe the anatomic and functional status of the joint disc in health and disease. Methods: The descriptors joint disk, temporomandibular joint, disk displacement, lubrication, osteoarthritis, and inflammation were entered into Google Academics database in order to search scientific papers of interest to carry out the investigation.

Abstract: Introduction: Excessive use of medication in headache patients is a complex behavior associated with a number of factors including intensity, frequency, chronicity of pain, addiction, and psychological/psychiatric disorders. There is a paucity of studies about this relationship. Goal: Evaluate scores in depression, medication use, and chronicity in subjects with Craniomandibular Disorders and dissociation and in subjects without. Methods: Medical records from subjects referred consecutively to an Orofacial Pain facility were retrospectively retrieved and examined. Subjects were allocated to subgroups with Craniomandibular Disorders and no headache (n=45), Craniomandibular Disorders, tension–type headache and low (n=38), intermediate (n=36) and high scores in dissociation (n=33). In a second stage, scores in dissociation, use of medication and chronicity of tension-type headache were evaluated. Information about dissociation and depression was gathered using the Bernstein-Putnam......

Abstract: Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by mycobacterium leprae characterized by a number of clinical manifestations in the oral structures. The course of the disease depends on the innate resistance of the individual. A combination of high immune individual resistance and low pathogenicity of the bacteria is usually associated with low bacterial invasive capacity. Goals: Evaluate a possible association between chronic periodontitis and leprosy, compare the prevalence and severity of chronic periodontitis and periodontal tissue response to periodontal therapy in patients with and without leprosy. Methods: The experimental group was constituted by 30 patients with a diagnostic of leprosy based on the assessment of a dermatologist and the control......
