FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS TMJ TREATMENT IN OLDER PATIENTS WITH A COMPLETE LACK OF TEETH AFTER REPEATED PROSTHETICS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):

In the complete absence of teeth in older patients often suffer complications associated with occlusive disorders and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), forcing them to re-apply after prosthesis. Prolonged use of prostheses, more commonly observed in elderly patients, erases the artificial teeth, reduce the height of occlusion, disruption of the occlusal surface, the displacement of the mandible, intra-relationships that lead to TMJ dysfunction and disease.
