Podcasts about temporomandibular

What if your dental history held the key to a complex diagnosis no one's caught? In this gripping episode of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes Dr. Audrey Kershaw, a trailblazing oral surgeon who's uncovered hundreds of hidden Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) cases—starting in the dental chair. From patients who “can't numb up,” to decades-long battles with halitosis, gum fragility, and jaw instability, Dr. Kershaw shares the subtle (and sometimes shocking) signs that suggest something far deeper is at play. Together, they explore what happens when TMD, failed anesthesia, slow healing, and even bad breath point to connective tissue disorders that most dentists never learn about. If your mouth has always felt... different—this episode might explain why. Find the episode transcript here. Takeaways: Some patients can't numb up… and the reason may change how you see your entire body. Your wisdom tooth extraction might've revealed more than just a dental issue. That persistent jaw pain? It may be pointing to something systemic. A 40-year case of bad breath led to an unexpected diagnosis—here's what happened. You might be able to spot a connective tissue disorder… before a dentist even says a word.

Welcome! Today, we're discussing the unexpected and unusual presentations of Lyme disease that I've encountered in my practice.Case Study: Unexplained Foot Pain One of my patients experienced severe foot pain, even while walking to the bathroom. A podiatrist diagnosed him with plantar fasciitis, and he tried various treatments including icing, NSAIDs, stretching, iontophoresis, shoe inserts, and cortisone injections. Despite these efforts, his foot pain persisted. In addition to foot pain, he suffered from exhaustion, poor sleep, impaired concentration, neck and back pain, mood disturbances, palpitations, lightheadedness, migratory pains, and sensitivity to light and sound. Remarkably, his foot pain and other symptoms resolved following treatment for Lyme disease. Expected Lyme Disease Presentations In my practice, the expected presentations of Lyme disease include:- Erythema migrans- Bell's palsy- Chronic Neurologic Lyme disease- Neuropsychiatric Lyme- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)- Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS)- Lyme carditis- Lyme arthritis Unusual Lyme Disease Presentations However, I've also encountered several unusual presentations of Lyme disease that resolved with treatment. These include:- Thumb pain- Intermittent blue color of the hands and feet- Distorted vision and floaters- Uveitis- Atypical seizures- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder- Tinnitus- Movement disorders- ALS-like and MS-like presentations- Parkinsonian symptoms- Dementia- Gastroparesis- Mold sensitivity- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)- Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)- Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS)- Fibromyalgia- Chronic fatigue syndrome- Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)- Functional and somatic disorders- Anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD The Challenge of Diagnosis It can be challenging to determine whether Lyme disease is the cause of these unusual presentations, as patients may have multiple conditions. Proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial for resolving these complex symptoms. Conclusion Understanding the wide range of Lyme disease presentations helps us better identify and treat this complex illness. If you or someone you know has unexplained symptoms, consider consulting a Lyme-literate doctor. Thank you for watching, and stay tuned for more insights on Lyme disease.

However, it was not always this way – she started her career in small animal practice with very minimal dentistry knowledge. She was fortunate to have a great mentor in her first job where she learned a lot and her desire to learn more grew. Once she attended her first Veterinary Dental Forum in 2013, she KNEW dentistry was her passion - and became affectionately known as “Toothy Thomson”. With time and support from her family, friends, collogues and a big ‘shove' from her mentor she applied for a dentistry and oral surgery residency and was overjoyed when she matched at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During her residency her passion grew not only for dentistry, but also for teaching. And because life is always full of surprises Dr. Thomson found herself at a crossroad in 2020 in the early stages of the pandemic – so she started her own mobile dentistry practice! In addition to with working alongside small animal general practice teams, she also became very active online sharing her knowledge. It has always been important for her to share as much as she can, given it took hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to obtain the knowledge she did while in general practice. Knowledge she wants to see all veterinary teams have!

Join The FARM team during this Week in Review where we cover cervical presentation of shoulder pain, chronic temporomandibular dysfunction in a 25 YOA female, a spondylolisthesis that was missed on imaging, and a classic case of adhesive capsulitis.

I am going to say something controversial, but we kind of all know it's true: The management of Temporomandibular disorders is like the Wild West. There are either no rules, or the rules are based on poor quality data. https://youtu.be/mvWdkd74Khg Watch PDP172 on Youtube In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Patrick Grossmann, a retired orthodontist with 30 years of experience in TMD treatment using an orthopaedic approach. Together, we'll unravel the complexities of TMD, discussing different viewpoints in TMD management. Whilst Dr Grossmann and I do not fully agree on everything (typical Dentists!) it is helpful to understand the ‘working out' and philosophy of a treatment modality. Protrusive Dental Pearl: TMD History Form - which I send to all my patients before they come to see me for a TMD consultation.

Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Check out Dr Grossmann's course on February 17th in London: https://www.cephtactics-dental.com/short-courses/p/tmd-splint-day-course A message from Dr Grossmann: “As of September 1st, I shall for the first time be offering a one-on- one (in person) 2 day intensive course in London. The course will cover ALL important aspects of TMD for the general practitioner as well as a half day ‘hands on' session with the participant's own splint. This will include using the splint for myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome as well as internal derangements-clicking/ locking. Moreover the importance of a night time appliance (Garcia) will be addressed and evidence for its efficacy.

Click below for full episode transcript: Jaz's Introduction: In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Patrick Grossmann. He's now retired but he treated TMD for 30 years. He was an orthodontist and the way he treated it was an orthopedic approach. Now I've learned from Patrick but I've also learned from lots of other great clinicians and some of the things that were said on the podcast by Patrick I disagreed with. Jaz's Introduction:So you'll see me interjecting now and again, but I disagree with respect because I feel as though TMD, especially with the lack of clear guidelines and evidence available. I mean, long term high quality data. I mean, if you look at all the systematic reviews, they all say we need. better quality data. I think there's totally a place for all the things that Patrick says in the episode and his treatment philosophy, it's nice to understand it, but I also offer some alternative opinions. So it's up to you as a clinician to make up your mind in terms of which Camp you want to follow and what aligns best with your values, your patient's values, and your clinical experience. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati, and if you're watching this episode, that means that Patrick Grossmann kindly approved it for publish. I felt like I had to interject at certain points to give my viewpoint. And whilst I hope that served the listener, I do understand that this was a very heavy TMD topic. It can get very confusing. I definitely wouldn't have understood this episode very well as a young dentist, but to get the exposure is really good to this kind of stuff. And the more seasoned clinicians who are into TMD, I think this one, you're going to be really, really finding this one very stimulating in terms of the different facets the conversation goes in and both the beauty and the frustration of having so many different treatment philosophies.

Temporomandibular joint (also known as TMJ) disorders can affect how easily a person can eat, sleep, talk or smile. Karen Kahn, DDS from our Section of Dentistry joins to discuss our multidisciplinary, minimally invasive, and conservative approaches to achieving optimal outcomes for patients.

Brotox is a term used to refer to Botox injections for men. It is a type of cosmetic procedure that can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause these wrinkles, which can give the skin a smoother and more youthful appearance. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Botox can also be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including: Migraines Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) Overactive bladder Eyelid twitching Whiplash pain The benefits of Botox for men can vary depending on the individual's needs and goals. Some of the most common benefits include: Reduced wrinkles and fine lines Smoother, more youthful-looking skin Improved self-confidence Relief from migraines Reduced sweating Improved TMJ symptoms Reduced bladder urgency and frequency Reduced eyelid twitching Relief from whiplash pain It is important to note that Botox is not a miracle cure for any of these conditions. It can be a helpful treatment option, but it is not without risks. Some of the potential risks of Botox include: Headaches Drooping eyelids Difficulty blinking Dry eyes Bruising Infection Allergic reaction It is important to talk to a doctor about the risks and benefits of Botox before deciding if it is the right treatment option for you. Here are some additional things to consider before getting Botox: The cost of Botox can vary depending on the area being treated and the number of units of Botox used. Botox injections typically last for 3-6 months. Botox is not a permanent solution for wrinkles and fine lines. Botox can be reversed if you are not happy with the results. If you are considering getting Botox, it is important to do your research and find a qualified doctor who can help you achieve the results you want.

Abstract: Ferroptosis contribute to temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) lesion development is still poorly understood. In this study, we used different TMJOA animal models to detect whether ferroptosis is related to onset of TMJOA which modelling by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA), IL-1{beta}, occlusion disorder (OD) and unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC). Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis were used to detect ferroptosis proteins and cartilage degradation related protein expression. Our results revealed that lower level of ferroptosis-related proteins GPX4 in cartilage layer, but the level of ACSL4 and P53 increase in that of condyle. Injection of ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) effectively decrease ACSL4, P53 and TRF expression. In vitro, IL-1{beta} induced the reduction of cartilage extracellular matrix expression in mandibular condylar chondrocytes (MCCs). Lip-1 maintain the morphology and function of mitochondria, and inhibited the aggravation of lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production which induced by IL-1{beta}. These results suggested that chondrocytes ferroptosis play an important role in the development and progression of TMJOA. Inhibition of condylar chondrocyte ferroptosis could be a promising therapeutic strategy for TMJOA. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Abstract: Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common condition that frequently transitions to chronic symptoms. Experimental pain models that mimic the symptoms of clinical TMD may be useful in understanding the mechanisms, and sex differences, present in this disorder. Here we aimed to comprehensively characterise the nature and time-course of pain, functional impairment and hyperalgesia induced by repeated intramuscular injection of nerve growth factor (NGF) into the masseter muscle, and to investigate sex differences in the NGF-induced pain experience. Methods: 94 healthy individuals participated in a longitudinal observational study with 30-day follow-up. NGF was injected into the right masseter muscle on Day 0 and Day 2. Participants attended laboratory sessions to assess pain (Numerical Rating Scale; NRS), functional limitation (mouth opening distance, Jaw Functional Limitation Scale; JFLS) and mechanical sensitization (pressure pain thresholds; PPTs) on Days 0, 2 and 5 and completed twice daily electronic pain dairies from Day 0 to day 30. Results: Peak pain averaged 2.0/10 (95 % CI: 1.6-2.4) at rest and 4.3/10 (95 % CI: 3.9-4.8) on chewing. Pain-free mouth opening distance reduced from 5.0 cm (95 % CI: 4.8-5.1 cm) on Day 0 to 3.7 cm (95 % CI: 3.5-3.9 cm) on Day 5. The greatest reduction in PPTs was observed over the masseter muscle. Females experienced higher pain, greater functional impairment, and greater sensitivity to mechanical stimuli than males. Conclusion: Intramuscular injection of NGF is a useful model with which to explore the mechanisms, and sex differences, present in clinical TMD. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Uma das condições mais desafiadoras na clínica do especialista em DTM e Dor Orofacial é a doença degenerativa da articulação temporomandibular (ATM), processo que pode vir acompanhado de dor ou não. Assim, é natural que todos que trabalham com estas condições busquem estratégias para o melhor prognóstico relacionado a estas condições. Uma das estratégias é proteção de cartilagem. Ainda que largamente utilizados em outras articulações, o uso na ATM ainda é pouco citado e estudado. Neste episódio eu convido Professora Dra. Thayanne Calcia, professora de Odontologia da UNIFASE em Petropólis para um bate papo esclarecedor sobre o tema! Obrigada Thayanne pela conversa incrível! Sigam: @farmacodontologia no Instagram!

Causes of TMJD - Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Around 12% of people in the US experience TMJD – temporomandibular joint dysfunction at any one time. Statistics show that women are more affected than men. And 9 women to every 1 man experience restricted jaw movement in their lifetime. Understand the causes of TMJD, however, is important to help you manage the condition. You need to know factors that predispose you to TMJD and the common symptoms to watch out for. In this article, we shall be showing you the common causes of TMJD and other relevant details you should know. But first let's briefly revise the meaning of TMJ and TMJD. What are TMJ and TMJD? TMJ or temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jawbone to your cheekbones. You have one TMJ on each side of your jaw and it allows for the movement required for talking and chewing. Since these joints allow for movement of your jaw from side to side as well as up and down, they represent one of the most complex joints in the body. TMJD or temporomandibular joint dysfunction are conditions that affect TMJ and cause pain in your jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. What are the causes of TMJD? The exact cause of an individual's TMJD may be hard to determine. Doctors believe symptoms arise from problems with the jaw muscles or parts of the joint itself. However, some factors could trigger pains, including arthritis or jaw injury, or genetics. Some other causes of TMJD include: Heavy trauma to your jaw from an accident Improper bite Displacement of the disc between the ball and socket Tightening your facial and jaw muscles due to stress Pressure on the TMJ from grinding or clenching your teeth Sinus problems, gum disease, and tooth decay What are the common symptoms of TMJD? If you have TMJD, you tend to experience both temporary or chronic pain and discomfort. However, diagnosis is important, since there are many signs and symptoms that may point to “temporomandibular joint.” Here are a few of the most common signs and symptoms of TMJD: Headaches Jaw dislocation Neck aches Earaches Stiff or locked jaw in the open and close mouth position Clicking, grating, or popping sound in the joint when you open your mouth or close it Dental occlusion (the way the upper and lower jaw or teeth fit together. Being unable to open your mouth very wide Tenderness or pain around the face, ear, neck, or shoulders when chewing, speaking, or opening your mouth.                                                                                                      Keep in mind that noises or clicking that occur when you move your jaw are not always associated with TMJD. It is only when the sounds are accompanied by pain or restricted movement of the jaw that it can be described as TMJD. Most times, TMJD resolve on their own after a couple of months and symptoms are mild with minimal inconvenience. But in some severe cases, TMJD can be serious and long lasting. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office at Elizabeth City, NC, to learn about other potential causes of TMJD and natural solutions you can embrace to enjoy relief.
