OCCLUSAL INTERFERENCES AND NEUROMUSCULAR DYSFUNCTION

Abstract

Aim. The article reflects modern representations of the influence of the traumatic occlusal factor in the pathogenesis of the dynamics of dysfunction of the masticatory musculature, TMJ and inflammatory processes in the periodontium. The main attention is paid to the influence of occlusal factors in the dynamics of the pathological process on the function of the masticatory muscles and the TMJ, and the role of traumatic occlusion on the state of the morphological formations of the periodontium. The enzymatic systems of neutrophil granulocytes and oxidoreductase are important in the disturbance of oxidation-reduction processes, which, in turn, contributes to the growth of intracellular hypoxia with the intensification of destructive processes in the alveolar part of the jaws. To develop a harmonious occlusion, further complex studies of the dentofacial system are needed. Conclusion. The dentofacial system functions on the basis of the complex interaction of the masticatory apparatus which is coordinated by the system of a trigeminal nerve with all its structural components. The complexity of diagnosis and therapy of neuromuscular and articulatory-occlusive syndromes is associated with various concepts about the etiology and pathogenesis of these disorders against the background of a similar clinical picture of their various forms and inadequate methods of treatment.
