Gneuromuscular Dentistry – a new paradigm
Suresh Rajendiran, Suresh Rajendiran,
Abstract
Gneuromuscular dentistry is an evolving treatment concept that focuses on the relationship
between the teeth, jaw, and muscles of the head and neck. It involves using specialized techniques
derived from the concepts of Gnathology and Neuromuscular Dentistry to diagnose and treat
conditions related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jawbone to the skull.
The goal of gneuromuscular dentistry is to achieve optimal alignment of the teeth, jaw, and muscles
to improve overall oral health and function. This can help alleviate symptoms associated with TMJ
disorders, such as headaches, jaw pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, and ringing in the ears.
Gneuromuscular dentistry involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's bite, jaw position,
and muscle activity using advanced technology such as electromyography (EMG) and computerized
mandibular scanning. Treatment may include orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and/or the use of a
custom-made oral appliance to help reposition the jaw and relieve muscle tension. This article will
explore the principles of gneuromuscular dentistry, its evolution, benefits, and the techniques used
to achieve optimal alignment of the teeth, jaw, and muscles
