Abstract
Articular forms of temporomandibular disorder (compression of bilaminar region, displacement of meniscus, hypermobility, arthritis, arthrosis) combine with advanced forms of dental pathology leading to disturbances of functional occlusion. The comorbidities of occlusal pathology are characteristic of older patients (over 40), while the orthodontic pathology is characteristic of patients aged 20–40. The complexity of comorbidity of TMJ and occlusal pathology requires a thorough diagnostic study, detailed treatment plan that ranges from dental health to the application of occlusal splints of different types of action with mandatory completion of treatment with prosthetic rehabilitation using prosthetic restorations to restore functional occlusion. The analysis of results of treatment of patients with comorbidities of temporomandibular disorders and occlusal pathology using occlusal therapy, splintline therapy, and various types of prosthetic restorations at the final stage to stabilize functional occlusion is presented. The analysis is based on the comparison of axiograms before and after the treatment.
