NEUROMUSCULAR DENTISTRY– An INSIGHT

Dr. Rizwan Sanadi, Dr. Laksha Chelani, Dr. Urvashi Singh

Abstract :

<p> Neuromuscular dentistry is an approach in which all the three components– teeth, masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint are taken into consideration as an interdependent unit. It recognizes the biophysiologic sciences relating dental pathophysiology and their relationship to masticatory muscle dysfunction and joint derangement problems through the neural pathways relating to the central nervous system. Neuromuscular occlusion considers the entire system that controls the positioning and function of the jaw and seeks a balanced relationship between them. This is done through various techniques and procedures which help to determine the rest position of the jaw and is used as a reference to establish the ideal mandibular position. Dental occlusion is then altered or adjusted to produce the new mandibular position. It can be achieved by surgery, occlusal splints or other means. This review aims to give an insight into neuromuscular dentistry</p>
