Interest of Behavioural Reeducation in Dysfunctions of Masticatory Apparatus. Relations Between Parafunctions and Dysfunctions of Mastixatory Apparatus

If etiologies of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are various, parafunctions become more and more important. Treatment of patients presenting TMD is based on conservative and reversible therapeutics. The behavioural reeducation of these patients which aims at decreasing their parafunctions is a treatment often performed.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female over 18,
  • Patient who was informed about the protocol and who did not refuse to take part in the programme,
  • Patient who suffers of dysfunctions of masticatory apparatus: myofascial pain, joint clicking or crepitations, disc deplacement with reduction, mandibular limitation and/or deviation,
  • Patient who presents more or less obvious parafunctions, which are associated or not to other etiologies

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of pain based on the analogical visual scale

    Time frame: 1 year

    To know the incidence of a treatment which is unique, reversible and performed in first intention: behavioural reeducation in the evolution of clinical signs of TMD : pain; disc deplacement with reduction, limitation or mandibular deviation during mouth opening.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Amplitude of mouth opening, mandibular deviation, joint clicking or crepitations,disc deplacement with reduction

    Time frame: 1 year

    Evaluation of parafunctions as an etiological factor of dysfunctions of masticatory apparatus.

  2. Assessment of behavioural reeducation

    Time frame: 1 year

    Interest of diagnosis criteria of investigation on temporomandibular disorders.
