The most important step in the treatment of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disease in clinical dentistry is diagnosis and planning. The clinical findings, drug requirement and biological risk of the patients determine the examination methods to be used in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders. In this context, it is thought that studies in the field of dentistry should be increased in order to increase the success in the treatment of TMJ Disorders. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of of different pain relievers as Dexketoprofen Trometamol + Thiocolchicoside, dexketoprofen trometamol + paracetamol and Dexketoprofen Trometamol in the treatment of pain in TMJ disorders.
The study was carried out on 200 patients aged 18 and over, who applied to Van Yuzuncu Yıl University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, with complaints of pain due to temporomandibular disease. When patients first applied to the clinic, their anamnesis were taken and they were directed to MR (Magnetic Resonance) imaging after clinical evaluation. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into 4 groups. Medications were given to patients by auxiliary staff and the study was double-blind. Medicines were given as follows. Dexketoprofen Trometamol + Thiocolchicoside (25mg + 4mg, 2x1) in the 1st group, Dexketoprofen Trometamol + Paracetamol (25mg + 300mg, 2x1) in the 2nd group, only Dexketoprofen Trometamol (25mg, 2x1) in the 3rd group and paracetamol 500 mg in the 4th control group (4x1) were given. In addition, patients in each group used occlusal plate for a minimum of 8 hours per day (at night). Medicines were used regularly for 2 weeks. Paracetamol 500 mg was used only if needed for the next 2 weeks. The pain values of the patients was evaluated with the VAS scale, and the amount of mouth opening was evaluated by measuring the distance between the incisal edges of the lower and upper central teeth. Evaluations have been done at the beginning of the treatment and at the 1st week, 2nd week, 1st month and the 3rd month and the findings were recorded. After the 1st month, the patients were followed up to the 3rd month and the treatment of those who need additional treatment were continued. Obtained data will be analyzed and evaluated statistically.
