Abstract

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction in patients with malocclusion is quite a widespread problem in modern dentistry. The study included: identification of patients with signs of TMJ dysfunction and malocclusion by pre-selection; diagnosis of dysfunctions in the main group of patients; preparation of the treatment plan using splint therapy and kinesiotherapy; assessment of the effectiveness of these treatment methods. Most of the subjects had a decrease in the tone of the masticatory muscles, pain sensitivity in the masticatory muscles and the TMJ area. Splint therapy, as well as kinesiotherapy, is the best choice in the treatment of these patients.
