Title : Oral Parafunction and Temporomandibular Junction Disorders: Aetiology, Neurophysiology and Implications on Stomatognathic System

Abstract

Parafunction is any disorder in the action of a particular organ or organ system, often characterised by an overactivity of the physiological action associated with a normal function. In a dental approach, oral parafunction can be defined as an extrafunctional action of certain components of the stomatognathic system. In order to understand it, a more complex scope is necessary, reaching the physiological and neurophysiological action of the entire tract of the stomatognathic system involved, as well as the implications of any disturbances within the normal function, always taking into consideration the aspects of the structural and functional adaptations to which the human organism is subject, within certain limits. One of others effects is temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that may imply damage to the structures of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) as result of collapse caused by intense forces that can reach that structures. Some of signs and symptoms can be described as muscles disturbs, headache, dental wear, tooth or restoration fractures, dental hypersensitivity, masticatory muscle discomfort or TMJ pain in muscles involved in mastication, and some otologic symptoms as tinnitus, ear pains, and so on. A clinical significance of the investigation of bruxism lies in its considerable role in the aetiology of pain and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). Thus, knowledge and mastery of signs and symptoms of bruxism, in addition to contributing factors in its aetiology, as well as knowledge about the different therapeutic approaches, become fundamental requirements, within a more current perspective, in a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach.
