  • Title: Regeneration ad integrum of the condyle head in a patient with temporomandibular disorders.
    Author: Learreta JA.
    Journal: Cranio; 1999 Jul; 17(3):221-7. PubMed ID: 10650410.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old who had suffered from a beta-hemolytic streptococcus infection presented with serious temporomandibular disorders, including a reabsorption of the condyle head on the right side, and reabsorption in the cavern of the left side. Her masticatory muscles were electronically deprogramed, achieving a mandibular position supported by a relaxed musculature. The patient's signs and symptoms subsequently disappeared. Study of the magnetic resonance image a year later clearly showed a regeneration ad integrum of the condyle head and a spontaneous reinsertion of the articular disk. The results suggest the need for use of electronic elements in order to treat patients with temporomandibular disorders effectively.
