Authors: Câmara Irene de Paiva , Pinheiro Iam Rodrigues , Silva Fabiano Fagundes Moser da
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho aborda os desafios e oportunidades no controle da epidemia de dengue em Brasilía - DF, com foco na vacinação com a Qdenga e em medidas preventivas, como a eliminação de criadouros do mosquito Aedes aegypti. A pesquisa utiliza uma abordagem exploratória e bibliográfica, baseada em fontes secundárias como artigos científicos, relatórios governamentais e documentos técnicos. Verificou-se que, embora a introdução da vacina Qdenga pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) represente um avanço, persistem desafios como desigualdade no acesso e insuficiência de políticas públicas. A importância das campanhas educativas e do papel dos agentes comunitários na promoção da prevenção é destacada como um fator essencial. Recomenda-se o fortalecimento das políticas públicas e uma ampliação da cobertura vacinal para um combate mais eficaz da dengue no Brasil.

Authors: Arruda Alcínia Braga de Lima , Pereira Landerson Lopes , Arruda Alessandra de Lima
Published: November 2024

A COVID-19 é uma doença complexa, cuja patogenia está relacionada ao processo de invasão e replicação viral e à resposta imune e inflamatória exacerbada, que pode levar à morte. O tratamento com plasma convalescente se faz, então, uma importante ferramenta no combate à mortalidade desta doença devido à falta de arsenal terapêutico específico e à possibilidade de reinfecção e morte, mesmo após a vacinação. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar na literatura a eficácia e a segurança do tratamento com plasma convalescente nos pacientes internados com COVID. A pesquisa utilizou artigos selecionados a partir de publicação nas bases de dados Pubmed, no período de janeiro de 2020 a junho de 2021, cujos descritores utilizados foram: “convalescent plasma”, “COVID-19”, “study” e “trial”. Os resultados mostraram que os periódicos publicados apresentaram notável relevância, o que aumentou a confiabilidade dos estudos. Os artigos foram publicados predominantemente na Asia e foram do tipo ensaio clínico randomizado. As conclusões das publicações avaliadas foram heterogêneas quanto à eficácia do tratamento, entretanto foi de comum acordo a segurança na transfusão de plasma convalescente para os pacientes internados com COVID. A limitação na análise dos artigos foi o tamanho reduzido da amostra e o uso concomitante de outras terapias junto à transfusão de plasma convalescente. Os estudos também mostraram que mais pesquisas sejam realizadas, de modo que a terapia com plasma convalescente possa ser utilizada em protocolos de saúde, não somente para pacientes graves, mas também em pacientes com sintomas leves e moderados, coibindo a evolução negativa da doença e salvando inúmeras vidas.

Published: November 2024

A irradiação que o coletor solar recebe é função do ângulo de inclinação, sendo um fator de extrema importância durante o dimensionamento do sistema de coleta solar. Diante do exposto, este trabalho avaliou a irradiação recebida por um coletor solar plano em função do seu ângulo de inclinação no município de Itajubá, Minas Gerais. Os resultados mostraram que a irradiação solar recebida no coletor plano tem um comportamento semelhante a uma curva polinomial de ordem 2, aumentando até a inclinação de 32° e decrescendo em seguida. Também foi observado que a variação de irradiação solar recebida entre o ângulo de 22°, angulação igual a latitude do município estudado, e o ângulo de 32° representa uma variação de apenas 0,45% na irradiação solar recebida ao longo do ano. No entanto, a variação entre os ângulos de 22° e 32° para o período invernal representa um aumento de 5,05%. Portanto, a escolha do ângulo de 32° se mostra como o melhor valor para a instalação das placas solares em virtude de receber maior irradiação solar média anual e considerável aumento no período de inverno em comparação a ângulos menores e próximos a latitude local, enquanto a aplicação de ângulos superiores aos 32° não representam aumentos significativos das taxas de irradiação solar total ou irradiação solar invernal. Apesar da determinação do ângulo ótimo, recomenda-se uma avaliação econômica para verificar se o ganho de produtividade obtido pelo aumento de 22° para 32° na inclinação de painéis solares será suficiente para compensar o maior custo de instalação, pois a estrutura de fixação deverá suportar maiores esforços mecânicos em virtude do aumento da carga de vento incidente nos painéis solares.

Kepastian Hukum Perjanjian Perkawinan Secara Otentik Yang Tidak Di daftarkan Oleh Notaris
Authors: Addinur Addinur , Djajaputra Gunawan
Published: November 2024

This research examines the legal certainty of marriage agreements depending on the form and process of making them. Based on Article 15 paragraph (1) of the Notary Law, an authentic deed made before a notary has higher legal force than a private deed. An authentic agreement remains binding on the parties in accordance with Article 1320 of the Civil Code, but without registration at the marriage registration office, the agreement only applies privately and does not bind third parties. The provisions in Article 29 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law and Article 22 of PMA Number 20 of 2019 emphasize the importance of registration agreements for formal validity which protects against third party claims. However, the problems that arose due to the Constitutional Court's lack of clarity regarding the obligation to authenticate documents created permission for implementation. Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 108 of 2019 and PMA Number 20 of 2019 require that marriage agreements be authentic, but this discrepancy often hampers the legal validity of private parties. Authentic deeds provide stronger protection by ensuring the parties' consent and reducing legal preservation risks. Therefore, the presence of a notary in making and registering marriage agreements is important to ensure legal certainty and protect the rights of couples.
The Dynamics of Legal Protection For Notaries In Performing Notarial Duties
Authors: Gunawan Rachel , Djaja Benny , Sudirman Maman
Published: November 2024

This study examines the problem of the dynamics of legal protection related to the weaknesses of the dual position regulation of Notaries in the Law on Notary Positions, which creates legal uncertainty and potential conflicts of interest. First, the inconsistency between Article 11 paragraph (1) which allows Notaries to take leave while serving as state officials with other articles that require total dismissal creates legal confusion. Differences in interpretation regarding "resigning" and "leaving" cause ambiguity regarding the legal status of Notaries, which can affect legal compliance and potentially lead to abuse. Second, the use of the name and protocol of Notaries who are on leave by their replacements increases the risk of conflicts of interest and public misunderstanding. The public can misunderstand the legal responsibilities between Notaries who are on leave and their replacements, especially if violations or errors occur during the leave period. Therefore, regulatory revisions are needed to ensure legal clarity, professional integrity, and protection for parties involved in notarial services.
Investigation of risk factors for benign or malignant endometrial pathology in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding
Authors: Mutlu Oğur Elif , Karaçor Talip
Published: November 2024

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with benign or malignant endometrial pathologies by comparing endometrial biopsy results of women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study using retrospective record review method, 100 women over 18 years of age who presented to the gynecology and obstetrics clinic with AUB and underwent endometrial biopsy were included. Age, body mass index (BMI), obstetric and gynaecological history, medical history and pathology results were recorded. Endometrial pathology results were classified as normal, benign and malignant. The effects of demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients on the risk of benign and malignant pathology were analysed.
Results: The mean age and BMI of the participants were 48.7±7.7 and 29.3±5.9 kg/m2, respectively. 59 (59.0%) of the patients were in the premenopausal period and 41 (41.0%) were in the postmenopausal period. Ultrasonographic endometrial thickness was below 8 mm in 23 patients (23.0%), between 8-11 mm in 27 patients (27.0%) and 12 mm or more in 50 patients (50.0%). Pathological results were normal in 35 patients (35%), benign pathology in 45 patients (45.0%) and malignant pathology in 20 patients (20.0%). In multivariate analyses, each 1 year increase in the age of the patients increased the risk of developing malignant endometrial pathology 1.17 times and each 1 mm increase in ultrasonographic endometrial thickness increased the risk of developing malignant endometrial pathology 1.16 times. The cut-off point for ultrasonographic endometrial thickness was found to be >12 mm. According to this cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonographic endometrial thickness in predicting endometrial pathology were found to be 70% and 62.9%, respectively.
Conclusion: It is important to determine the risk factors of malignant disease in women presenting with AUB and to perform invasive methods such as endometrial biopsy in the early period in women with risk factors to affect the success of treatment directly.
Helicobacter pylori, non- Helicobacter pylori helicobacters and gastrointestinal diseases
Authors: Tarhane Serdal
Published: November 2024

Dear Editor
I read with great interest your article titled "Evaluation of Hematological Parameters in the Differentiation of Bile Reflux Gastritis and Helicobacter pylori Gastritis in Children" by Kıran Taşçı E., published in Anatolian Current Medical, 2023;5(4):445-448. Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that remains significant due to its infection of approximately half of the global human population. Recent studies have noted that other Helicobacter species of animal origin can also infect humans. The diagnosis of H. pylori infection typically involves histopathological methods requiring endoscopy, but these methods may be inadequate for diagnosing other Helicobacter species. This text is written to highlight the limitations of histopathological methods in identifying non-H. pylori species and to emphasize the importance of considering their zoonotic nature. This letter aims to contribute to the relevant literature.
Hematological markers for prediction computed tomography findings in mild traumatic brain injury
Authors: Kavak Nezih , Balcı Nurgül
Published: November 2024

Aims: This study aims to examine the levels of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in mild head injury (mTBI) patients to determine their predictive value for the necessity of head computed tomography (CT).
Methods: mTBI patients admitted to the emergency department demographic details, levels of NLR and PLR, and outcomes from brain CT scans were evaluated. Based on the CT scan outcomes, patients were classified into two groups: one with no detectable abnormalities (group 1) and another with detected abnormalities as acute epidural hematoma, acute subdural hematoma, or subarachnoid hemorrhage (group 2). The levels of NLR and PLR were then compared across these groups.
Results: In the study, out of 221 patients, 131 (59.3%) were male, and the overall mean age was 51.47±13.91 years. The most common cause of admission was traffic accidents, accounting for 70 patients (31.7%). The mean Glasgow Coma Scale score of the patients was 13.99±0.94. Group 2 consisted of 66 patients (29.9%), with 44 (66.7%) having an acute subdural hematoma, 16 (24.2%) with subarachnoid hemorrhage, and 6 (9.1%) with acute epidural hemorrhage. The mean NLR and PLR were 1.85±0.77 and 133.99±51.70, respectively. NLR values in group 2 were significantly higher than those in group 1 (p0.05). The optimal cutoff value for NLR was determined to be >1.64.
Conclusion: NLR levels, readily derived from standard hematological assessments, function as an objective and inflammatory biomarker. Initial NLR measurements hold the potential for forecasting abnormal findings in head CT scans associated with mTBI patients.

Can developing countries grasp the horn of Amalthea? The impacts of FDI on the development of host countries
Authors: Bazile Julien , Papillon Frédéric , Dallaire-Clavet Béatrice
Published: November 2024

By analyzing 150 articles published between 2010 and 2023, this systematic literature review explores the diverse effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on developing countries across economic, social, environmental, and sustainability dimensions. The research underscores that the ability of FDI to stimulate growth largely depends on the host country’s absorptive capacity, including factors such as human capital, financial institutions, and infrastructure. It highlights the complexities involved in evaluating FDI’s economic impacts, given the varied findings across studies, and emphasizes the growing significance of environmental and social considerations aligned with sustainable development goals. The key contributions of this study include a comprehensive synthesis of the current literature on FDI impacts, critical analysis of host countries’ absorptive capacities, exploration of discrepancies in economic impact assessments, a focus on environmental and social dimensions within FDI research, and policy recommendations aimed at harnessing FDI for sustainable and inclusive development in developing countries. These insights are crucial for comprehending the multifaceted role of FDI and devising strategies for its optimal utilization in emerging economies.
Exploring the influence of expectations on community-based tourism choice in Vietnam’s Central Highlands
Authors: Duong Ngoc Lang , Pham Hong Long
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of expectations on decision-making in community-based tourism in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. While numerous studies have explored tourism expectations, limited research has specifically addressed their influence on choosing community-based tourism in a particular region. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by identifying the expectations that influence tourists’ choices of community-based tourism in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and determining the extent of their impact. By applying quantitative research method to analyze data collected from 528 visitors, the findings indicate that when tourists’ cultural, historical, and climatic expectations are met, their preference for community-based tourism in the Central Highlands increases significantly. This study enriches the literature by clarifying how specific expectations influence community-based tourism choices in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Additionally, the results contribute to the development of successful policies that promote the growth of community-based tourism in this area. This paper provides new insights into how these expectations shape community-based tourism decisions, offering valuable guidance for policy development, and promoting sustainable tourism practices in the region.
Slow Rotation for the Super-puff Planet Kepler-51d
Authors: Lammers Caleb , Winn Joshua N.
Published: November 2024

Super-puffs are low-density planets of unknown origin and composition. If they form by accreting nebular gas through a circumplanetary disk, one might expect super-puffs to be spinning quickly. Here, we derive upper limits on the rotational oblateness of the super-puff Kepler-51d, based on precise transit observations with the NIRSpec instrument on board the James Webb Space Telescope. The absence of detectable oblateness-related anomalies in the light curve leads to an upper limit of about 0.15 on the planet's sky-projected oblateness. Assuming the sky-projected oblateness to be representative of the true oblateness, the rotation period of Kepler-51d is ≳40 hr, or equivalently, its rotation speed is ≲42% of the breakup speed. Alternatively, if the apparently low density of Kepler-51d is due to an opaque planetary ring, the ring must be oriented within 30∘ of face on and have an inner radius smaller than 1.2 times the planet's radius. Separately, the lack of anomalies exceeding 0.01% in the ingress and egress portions of the light curve places a constraint on the model of Wang & Dai, in which the planet's apparently low density is due to a dusty outflowing atmosphere.
De l’avantage d’avoir un enseignant communiste !

Regards communistes et anarchistes sur le travail social
Authors: Louli Jonathan
Published: November 2024

Cet article restitue les regards que portent des militant·e·s communistes ou anarchistes travaillant dans le social. Ceux-ci convergent d’abord vers un refus de l’idéalisme, le travail social étant fondé sur les contradictions inhérentes aux luttes de classes. Ces contradictions pourraient être dépassées par des pratiques visant l’émancipation aux niveaux individuel et global. Mais dépasser les contradictions propres au travail social actuel implique-t-il de dépasser le travail social lui-même ?

Published: November 2024

Les années 2000 sont un marqueur de transformation profonde de l’action sociale. Sous l’impact de la doxa néolibérale, se développent des tendances à l’instrumentalisation des acteurs, à la prévalence des contraintes financières et normatives. Plus fondamentalement, cela traduit une forme de dépolitisation de l’action sociale et la transformation du rapport au politique. Face à cette situation, les acteurs, associations, fédérations, professionnels, peuvent contribuer à repolitiser l’action sociale et tracer un autre chemin.

PHASE TRANSITION-BASED OPTIMIZED ADAPTING MODEL FOR REAL-TIME SEIZURE PREDICTION APPLICATION
Authors: Prathaban Banu Priya , Rajendran Subash
Published: November 2024

Epilepsy is a dynamic process that will undoubtedly continue throughout an individual’s lifetime. One part of the brain may get affected, other brain regions also can possibly get involved in this disorder. Such seizures are sometimes life threatening; therefore, a warning signal is required to provide information to their respective caretakers in order to ensure the safety of the epileptic patients. The following are the four states of seizure: interictal (between seizures), preictal (before seizure), ictal (seizure), and postictal (after seizures). The ability to accurately distinguish the unique preictal state from the other seizure states is essential for seizure prediction. The Seizures can only be predicted by early detection of the preictal condition, which helps to differentiate seizure prediction from seizure detection. Preictal signals, which typically appear minutes to hours before a seizure occurs, are predicted in order to prevent seizures. In this paper, the discussions on the seizure predictions and its procedures are done. An optimized adapting model based on the phase transitions for real-time seizure prediction is developed and implemented in this study. We proposed a classification model called as enhanced convolutional neural networks (ECNNs) that has been tuned for speeding convergence and reducing model complexity utilizing the Fletcher Reeves Algorithm (WO-FRA) based on Walrus Optimization. Furthermore, the Phase Transition Predictor (PTP) based on the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence yields a Premium Seizure Prediction Horizon (PSPH). The suggested model’s empirical results, which were verified using 1000 EEG recordings from the CHB-MIT, NINC, and SRM databases, outperform the current techniques with 98% accuracy, 0.07 h[Formula: see text] false prediction rate and with 99% sensitivity.
The Limitations of Static Traditional Occlusal Indicators Compared to the Advantages of Quantifiable Dynamic Occlusal Indicators
Authors: Qadeer Sarah
Published: November 2024

The traditional occlusal indicators used in dental practice are articulation papers, Shim-stock foils, elastomeric impression materials, and occlusal wax strips. These static dental materials have been widely believed to have occlusal force descriptive capability. However, modern material studies are challenging the widespread belief that occlusal indicator materials can measure differing occlusal force levels. Chapter two evaluates the force reporting limitations of these static occlusal indicators, and discusses how clinicians subjectively interpret their appearance characteristics to determine differing occlusal force levels. This chapter then compares these non-digital occlusal indicators to the T-Scan computerized occlusal analysis technology, that records and displays precise, quantifiable, relative occlusal force variances, and occlusal contact timing sequences. This digital data aids the clinician in making a more accurate occlusal analysis, and can guide the clinician in the correction of occlusal contact force and timing abnormalities, thereby eliminating the subjectivity that is inherent with traditional occlusal indicator use. To further support the superiority of digital occlusal analysis with the T-Scan technology, a systematic review that compared the many static, non-digital occlusal indicators to quantifiable dynamic digital occlusal indicators is included, as is an articulating paper/foil/T-Scan comparative analysis. A recently published systematic review that evaluated occlusal contacts during Maximum Intercuspation with differing occlusal indicators (both traditional and digital) is also described. Next, this chapter details the diagnostic occlusal capabilities of the T-Scan's digital force and timing data by presenting 2 separate studies that compared measured closure and excursive occlusal contact force and timing parameters in orthodontic and non-orthodontic young adults. A final commentary describes the clinical pitfalls of using maximally invasive Subjective Interpretation to choose occlusal contacts for adjustment, instead of employing minimally invasive T-Scan-guided occlusal contact selection. This last section clearly outlines to the reader that both patients and dentists markedly benefit from implementing the T-Scan 10 occlusal measurement technology.
Temporomandibular Joint MRI and CT Imaging
Authors: Piper Mark
Published: November 2024

Computerized Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging of the Temporomandibular Joint are often not a routine part of a dental patient's pain and clinical evaluation. As a result, the most poorly understood region within the masticatory system is the Temporomandibular Joint foundation. Unfortunately, patient care and occlusal management are often compromised because of a lack of insight into the relationship between the anatomy of the Temporomandibular Joints and the occlusion. This chapter's four distinct sections review the key concepts about the temporomandibular joint foundation anatomical structures, detail structurally intact and structurally altered temporomandibular joint anatomy, clarify how structurally altered Temporomandibular Joints influence occlusal function, and classify the stages of temporomandibular joint structural degeneration. The concept of joint-based malocclusion is explored with numerous temporomandibular joint foundation anomalous software renderings, and sample CT and MR images, which together illustrate in detail how soft tissue and bony abnormalities in a structurally altered Temporomandibular Joint, can create distortions in the occlusion. This chapter further addresses the specific requirements a clinician must technically master to perform a comprehensive CT or MR examination, and then concludes with a unique clinical case that illustrates several mandibular growth-related joint-based malocclusion changes analyzed with MRI and CT imaging. The presented young patient was then treated with TM Joint disc repositioning surgery and Orthodontics to overcome his functional and esthetic challenges.
The Interrelationships Between 3D Imaging, Digital Dental Occlusion, and Craniocervical Body Posture
Authors: Tatis Diego F.
Published: November 2024

Presently, the functional description and the spatial distribution of the dental occlusion can be described and categorized with both qualitative and quantitative methods. Considering that the dental occlusion has a prominent role in the neuroconduction of the central and peripheral nervous systems, in the head and neck biomechanics, and in whole body posture, it is extremely necessary to diagnose what is outside the mechanical norm with digital biometry and either 2 or 3-D imaging, to develop occlusal and cranio-vertebral patterns that are compatible with the body mechanics, the neuroanatomy, the neuroconduction, and with optimal airway orientation. This chapter will describe qualitatively, quantitatively, statically, and dynamically, how the dental anatomy and dental occlusion, the intra - and inter-arch dental relationships, the three planes of craniofacial space, and the cranio-masticatory and cranio-vertebral components, are all neurophysiologically and biomechanically interrelated. The specific aims of this chapter are to outline new dental occlusion concepts as illustrated by digital occlusal biometric technologies and 3D imaging, while also proposing a practical method of performing a 3-dimensional anthropometric evaluation (known as the T.A.C. analysis). This approach utilizes anatomic data gathered by the latest generations of 2 and 3-dimensional images, which assists in understanding the impact that the Temporomandibular Joint orthopedics and differing skeletal maxillary and mandibular boney patterns have on the development of the dental occlusion.
Modern Technology Enhances Diagnostic Accuracy and Outcome Assessments
Authors: Radke John
Published: November 2024

Incorporating modern technology into clinical diagnostic methods does not necessarily replace traditional diagnostic methods, but ultimately represents an opportunity to improve patient care. Objective biophysiologic measurements (BPM) enhance both the clinical information obtained from the patient's report of symptoms, and the clinical observations made during a patient examination. It has been universally acknowledged that combining multiple tests enhances diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Further, an increase in the objectivity of the diagnostic process from using quantifiable, biophysiologic measurement data, improves treatment progress monitoring and outcome assessment, by reducing the clinician's total dependence on both patient feedback and clinical opinions. This chapter discusses several dental technologies that are now readily available that provide objective bio-physiologic measurements of masticatory function. Biophysiologic measurements have the potential to provide detailed, objective analyses with increased specificity. Each diagnostic technology is illustrated with examples recorded from both asymptomatic control subjects, as well as from patients with specific masticatory dysfunctions. The significance of these instruments is that any dentist can use these technologies to better understand their patients' conditions and to verify their degree of success after each rendered treatment. A recommendation is provided that dental medicine should accept the use of modern computer technology as an indispensable part of making an accurate diagnosis, monitoring treatment progress and assessing the quality of the outcome results. An essential portion of this chapter addresses the unfounded resistance to these differing technologies, especially amongst academia, which should no longer inhibit their widespread clinical implementation. Importantly, biophysiologic studies suggest that well-documented emotional symptoms (like depression, anxiety, catastrophizing, etc.) often associated with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), are most often triggered by physical pain from structural disorders, rather than being themselves etiologic of TMDs.
Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) and the Diagnostic Process in Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
Authors: Becker Ray M.
Published: November 2024

This chapter describes Joint Vibration Analysis technology (JVA), that assesses pathological changes that can occur within the Temporomandibular Joints. The diagnostic process and a simplified approach to better understand and efficiently treat Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) will be overviewed. With over 38 different etiologies under the umbrella term ‘TMD', the need to streamline and effectively determine an accurate definitive diagnosis and potential treatment options becomes apparent. Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) uses tissue accelerometers to objectively capture vibrations given off by structurally compromised, internal TM joint anatomy. This structural breakdown leads to altered mandibular movement patterns during chewing function. Different attributes of representative JVA vibrations have been shown to indicate the presence of various disease states, often seen within the Temporomandibular Joint complex. After being recorded, the JVA software displays the various vibration waveforms for clinician analysis, to determine the specific internal derangement present. This chapter provides a detailed overview of the various vibratory waveforms that indicate TM Joint pathology is present. The chapter then illustrates the utility of Joint Vibration Analysis as a Temporomandibular Joint diagnostic adjunct, while describing a simplified JVA-based diagnostic process. When JVA data is combined with a thorough clinical exam, a detailed medical history and a comprehensive intake form, a “bottom up” diagnostic approach absent of clinical biases affords the clinician an efficient way to present important clinical information to the patient that is easily understood. Lastly, this chapter refutes the Biopsychosocial theory of Temporomandibular Disorder etiology with a modern TMD patient JVA/Disclusion Time Reduction treatment study that found pretreatment depression symptoms were fully relieved once the treated TMD patients' painful symptoms were resolved from high precision occlusal adjustments.
Musculoskeletal and Posturo-Occlusal Disorders Managed With Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and T-Scan-Guided Occlusal Therapy
Authors: Westersund Curtis D.
Published: November 2024

Masticatory muscle hyperactivity has been considered a significant factor in promoting and perpetuating dysfunctional symptoms observed in Temporomandibular Disorder patients. Many therapeutic modalities have evolved within dental medicine that attempt to lessen or resolve the varying symptoms frequently reported by dysfunctional patients. One such method, known as ultra low frequency (ULF) transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS), has been used to relax the masticatory musculature by applying an electrical stimulus to the efferent motor fibers of the Vth and VIIth cranial nerves, such that TENS can result in pain analgesia and patient sedation, restore compromised muscle physiology and increase muscle resting length. TENS also aids in establishing a neuromuscular maxillomandibular relationship by inducing a muscularly contracted involuntary arc of closure. This chapter will illustrate TENS as a treatment modality for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), explain how to employ TENS to obtain a neuromuscular maxillomandibular relationship, and describe a case report of TENS use in combination with T-Scan computerized occlusal analysis, to measurably and physiologically balance a removable anatomical acetyl resin orthotic overlay prosthesis. This chapter will also explain the interrelationships between TMD musculoskeletal problems and Posturo-Occlusal disorders, and how Disclusion Time Reduction therapy (DTR) with occlusal rebalancing, performed with the T-Scan 10/BioEMG synchronization, can improve whole body alignment. A few clinical case examples of how changing the occlusion with the T-Scan technology can improve whole body posture illustrates this important component of the chapter, as dental treatment is often provided without considering how occlusal changes affect a patient's body far away from the oral cavity. Lastly, the five Kinetic Chains that provide all human physiologic functionalities are described in detail, after which the chapter concludes with a discussion about the three problems of occlusion.
Employing Specific Immediate Complete Anterior Guidance Development (ICAGD) Occlusal Adjustment Protocols to Achieve Short Disclusion Time
Authors: Srinivas Srividya
Published: November 2024

Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) performed with the Immediate Complete Anterior Guidance Development (ICAGD) coronoplasty, is a well-established computer guided occlusal adjustment treatment protocol for treating the occluso-muscle subset of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). ICAGD aims to reduce prolonged duration (time in seconds) occlusal surface friction that occurs between opposing posterior teeth during mandibular excursions when patients normally chew, and when they parafunction. Long duration posterior friction initiates prolonged posterior tooth periodontal ligament fiber compressions and pulpal flexures that together neurally activate and trigger excessive muscle contractions within the masticatory muscles, and the muscles associated with swallowing. This unique neuroanatomy initiates and perpetuates chronic muscular TMD symptomatology, which can be readily resolved with the ICAGD coronoplasty utilizing the T-Scan 10 computerized occlusal analysis system synchronized with the BioEMG III electromyograph. This chapter describes in detail the proper DTR/ICAGD case selection criteria, the procedural T-Scan 10/BioEMG III setup and armamentarium, the step-by-step occlusal and muscular data recording sequences, the ICAGD coronoplasty clinical procedures, the bur positioning guidelines, the optimal ICAGD clinical endpoints, and the necessary post ICAGD follow-up patient care.
Comparison of Masticatory Function of Symptomatic Patients and Control Subjects

Published: November 2024

Mastication (chewing) is a frequently ignored aspect of occlusal function. Cosmetic factors have traditionally outweighed function because appearance is what patients are most aware of, and often request smile improvements. Although damaged teeth are routinely restored with crowns or replaced with implants, much less emphasis is placed upon evaluating a patient's functional improvements from any rendered occlusal therapy. The complexity of masticatory system has been confounding, defeating most efforts to sort out what is good mastication from poor mastication. Most chewing performance evaluations measured particle size changes from chewing, which are somewhat interesting but do not provide clinically relevant assessments of chewing muscular performance or chewing motion mechanics. Whereas the implementation of the biometrically derived normal average chewing pattern (ACP) and the normal average chewing cycle (ACC) establishes a clinically applicable baseline for evaluating masticatory function. The ACP reveals the average shape, timing, variability, and smoothness of an individual's chewing movements, while the ACC reveals the muscular hierarchy, any muscular variability, the presence within the chewing stroke of problematic occlusal contacts that induce muscular silent periods (SP), and the masseter and temporalis muscles' timing during the bolus crush. These measurements can then categorize chewing as Type I (normal movements with normal muscle activity), Type II (normal movements with dysfunctional or adapted muscle activity), and Type III (abnormal movements and dysfunctional or adapted muscle activity). Rarely is a Type IV mastication encountered (abnormal movements with normal muscle function), but it can also be observed. Therefore, the Specific Aims of this chapter are to describe the ACP and the ACC in detail, to illustrate examples of healthy Type I patients, well-adapted Type II patients, and compromised Type III patients, and to illustrate that measured mastication improvements can be an excellent outcome parameter following dental therapeutic interventions.
