Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the treatment outcome of supervised exercise and home exercise in patients with symptomatic disc displacement with reduction.

Conditions

  • Anterior Disc Displacement

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Supervised Exercise Group

A supervised exercise program will consists of 10 sessions. The 1st exercise station will be a 5-minute warming up of the jaw with a heat lamp. The 2nd station will involve jaw opening-closing movements (TMJ rotation) with the mandible in a slightly protruded position for 6 minutes. The 3rd and 4th exercise stations will comprised of jaw opening and jaw protrusion, respectively, against resistance for 4 minutes each. Measurements will be done before the trial started and after 3 months.

BEHAVIORAL

Home Exercise Group

Patients will received a home regime of jaw exercises. They will be instructed to do two different trainings. The 1st type of exercise will be jaw opening and closing movements daily for 5 minutes after each meal with the mandible and the head of the TMJ in a slightly protruded position. This exercise should not produce any clicking sounds. The 2nd type of exercise will be isometric exercises; this entailed jaw opening and jaw protrusion against resistance with their hand for 10 seconds with 10 repetitions each daily. All the patients will receive a training brochure with photos of the exercises and detailed information on frequency and exercise time. The brochure will include a diary. After 6 weeks, the subject and the assistant will check the performance of the exercise and the diary
