Case Report-Temporomandibular Disorder associated with Trauma
BCH, a 22 year old caucasian female involved in an automobile accident in 1995, which resulted in several broken bones and facial trauma. She has had 3 operations related to the trauma. She has had constant head and neck pain since being released from the first hospital admission. Headaches and pain were not releived by medication.
After a thorough examination, including x-ray, evaluation, JVA, EMG, jaw tracker and extensive medical history, it was determined that BCH had a Temporomandibular Dysfunction due to trauma. Treatment plan suggested and implemented was upper and lower Splint Therapy and Physical Therapy for the muscles to stabilize the joint.
After insertion and balancing of the occlusal splint, BCH began to cry- "the first time in 5 years 1 month and 3 1/2 weeks that I do not have a headache."
