Summary

This Clinical and radiographic study will be designed to evaluate the temporomandibular joint condition post longstanding mouth opening during dental procedure using rubber dam. primary outcome : preoperative and postoperative assessment of interincisal distance , occlusal biting force , visual analogue scale , lateral excursion movement and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Secondary outcome: investigator will try to answer the question of what is the best duration of time could the dentist use rubber dam isolation in dental procedures without harmful effect on TMJ and its supporting structures?

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Condition Post Longstanding Mouth Opening During Dental Procedure Using Rubber Dam
  • TMJ Disc Disorder
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Myofacial Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Application of a rubber dam during dental treatments for varying durations.

Patients in each group will undergo dental procedures (either operative or endodontic treatment) with rubber dam isolation. The rubber dam will be applied for the specific durations mentioned in each group to evaluate the impact of mouth opening on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
