A new speciality is a solution to many atypical facial pains
Hyderabad-based FMS Dental has introduced a speciality in neuromuscular dentistry. Neuromuscular Dentistry not only involves temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and jaw movement issues but also includes orofacial pain (OFP) disorders like neuropathic and neurovascular pain disorders, headaches and sleep disorders.
Dr Parthasarathi Reddy, Founder and Chairman, FMS Dental Hospitals said, “Neuromuscular dentistry is a relatively new field in dentistry, in which our dedicated, well trained and highly experienced team, excel. Our team has received international training and has accumulated extensive experience over many years, positioning them at the forefront of treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and orofacial pain. Through their commitment and expertise, our team has developed and refined proven treatment protocols that have already benefited hundreds of patients.
Symptoms of OFP can vary widely, encompassing headaches, neck pain, ear pain, dental discomfort, facial burning or stabbing sensations and jaw pain. Additionally, atypical symptoms such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, muscle incoordination or unusual itching and tingling in the head and neck may also occur.
At FMS Dental, advanced technologies and techniques are utilized to diagnose and treat neuromuscular disorders of the face. EMG sensors, jaw tracker, BioJVA (Joint Vibrational Analysis), Ultra Low-Frequency TENS unit, ultrasound therapy and low-level laser therapy are used to detect and treat neuromuscular disorders. The T-Scan system provides detailed dynamic occlusal measurements, assessing force distribution on individual teeth and overall bite stability.
