Abstract

The temporomandibular joint is part of the stomatognathic system, where interference with one component of the stomatognathic system will interfere with other components causing an imbalance of function. One such disorder is temporomandibular. Temporomandibular disorders have signs, symptoms, and severity that can be eliminated through jaw exercises. This study had the goal of evaluating and comparing the severity of TMD symptoms between students before and after engaging in jaw exercises In this purposive sampling study, researchers used questionnaires based on the Helchymo Anamnestic Index. 30 respondents who complained of temporomandibular disorder were asked to fill out a questionnaire through a Google form. Patients with TMD were inferred based on the total score of all questions with paired T-test statistical results. The results showed that there was a difference in severity before and after jaw exercise in 24 (80%) patients. There was a difference in the severity of temporomandibular joint disorders before and after jaw exercise by patients with p-value = 0.0001 (p <0.005).

Abstract

Background: Temporomandibular disorders are clinical disorders involving the muscles of mastication, temporomandibular joints, and related structures. There are several treatments, such as self-help exercises, that can be done at home using remote care, often called telemedicine, after the patient has been directed to do so by a practitioner and evaluated during regular visits. Along with advancement of the times and technology, as well as with the prevention of COVID-19, telemedicine may currently be the main means of self-care for patients at home without losing the supervision of a doctor. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using telemedicine in the management of temporomandibular disorders. Methods: A systematic literature review was undertaken using literature search methods in electronic databases: PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The keywords were "(Telemedicine OR Teledentistry) AND (Temporomandibular disorder) AND (Effect).” The inclusion criteria for selection of the scientific articles were publication from 2012 to 2022, publication in English, and the full paper being available. Results: Seven articles have been included in this review. Based on the results of this systematic study, using telemedicine is considered able to assist the management of temporomandibular disorders by conducting consultation, follow-up, and treatment remotely via telephone, smartphone application, or internet-based or website-based applications. Conclusion: Telemedicine makes it easier for patients who do not have access to a health center to receive consultations and treatments from home, minimizing time and costs.
