English abstract
The importance of condyle position in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TMD. When a patient presents with TMJ pain, it could be all too easy for the orthodontists to turn the other way claiming that their occlusion has no connection with their symptoms and that they are suffering from a biopsychosocial disorder. This abundantly illustrated article attempts to demonstrate that patients can appear to display a stable occlusion even though their TMJ situation is unstable. This can give rise to dental abrasion, articular adaptations and pain. Orthodontics allows us to treat patients in pain provided that the treatment plan takes into account the need to restore a stable TMJ as well as a stable occlusion.
Spanish abstract
Lorsqu’un patient souffrant de douleurs articulaires se présente à notrecabinet, il pourrait être aisé pour nous orthodontistes d’ignorer le problème en esti- mant que l’occlusion n’est pas en relation avec les symptômes et qu’il s’agit seule- ment d’un problème bio-psychosocial. Au travers d’exemples largement illustrés, cetarticle tente de démontrer que le patient peut apparaître en position occlusale stable,alors qu’il est en position articulaire instable. Ceci peut générer des adaptations ar- ticulaires, dentaires (abrasions) et l’apparition de douleurs. L’orthodontie permet deprendre en charge les patients en souffrance à la condition que la planification du traitement intègre le rétablissement d’une position articulaire stable, tout autant que celui d’une position occlusale stable.
