INTERDISCIPLINARY ALGORITHM FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC CARE OF PATIENTS WITH INTERMAXILLARY POSITION DISORDERS IN STOMATOGNATHIC SYSTEM DYSFUNCTION

This article presents the development and implementation of an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) associated with altered maxillomandibular position (MP). An innovative clinical-instrumental workflow, including the Centric Guide® system and the T-Scan III digital occlusal analysis, was used to assess functional asymmetries and deviations in mandibular positioning.A clinical case of a patient with asymmetric MP displacement and associated temporomandibular and masticatory muscle dysfunctions is presented. The treatment protocol involved splint therapy in a registered functional mandibular position (FMP), with significant clinical improvement in pain and occlusal parameters. The results confirm the effectiveness of a structured interdisciplinary approach in diagnosing and treating TMDs.
