Myofascial Pain dysfunction (MPD)
• Temporomandibular disorder is defined as
"musculoskeletal disorders affecting the
temporomandibular joints and their
associated musculature. It is a collective term
which represents a diverse group of
pathologies involving the temporomandibular
joint, the muscles of mastication, or both"
SYNONYMS
Temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome
Temporomandibular pain dysfunction syndrome
Temporomandibular joint syndrome
Temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome
Temporomandibular dysfunction,
Temporomandibular disorder,
Temporomandibular syndrome,
Facial arthromyalgia,
Myofacial pain dysfunction syndrome,
Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD),
Myofacial pain dysfunction,
Masticatory myalgia,
Mandibular dysfunction
Costen's syndrome.
Typical features
• intermittent dull aching facial pain
• worsen throughout the day(characteristic of
MPD)
• Pain increases with mastication or Stress
• Onset gradual
• Most patients in between 16 and 40 years
• Female preponderence 4:1
• Pain typically felt infront of ear
• Pain usually one sided
Typical features
• Limitation of mouth opening
• Clicking or crepitus in the joint
Laskin Diagnostic criteria
Cardinal symptoms
• The most common finding is pain of unilateral
origin
• The next most common finding is mastictory
muscle tenderness
• The third most common symptom is a clicking or
popping noise in the TMJ
• Limitation of jaw function is the fourth cardinal
symptom of the pain-dysfunction syndrome
Myofascial pain dysfunction (mpd)
LASKIN DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA
• Negative characteristics:
1)Absence of clinical, radiographic, or
biochemical evidence of organic changes in
the TMJ
2)Lack of tenderness in the TMJ when this area
is palpated via the external auditory meatus.
Etiology of the pain-dysfunction syndrome
.Daniel M Laskin .JADA.
Myofascial trigger points
• Hyperirritable locus within a taut band of
skeletal muscle that is located in muscular
tissue or in its associated fascia or tendon
• MPD can also be accompanied by myofascial
trigger points
• This spot is painful on compression and can
evoke characteristic referred pain and
autonomic phenomena

Etiology of MPDS
Multifactorial
• Stress
• anxiety
• Bruxism
• Clenching
• Malocclusion
• Parafunctional oral
habbits
• Internal derangement
of TMJ
• Rheumatologic
diseases(polymyalgia
rheumatica)
• Fibromyalgia
• Vasculitis(temporal
arteritis)
Myofascial pain dysfunction (mpd)
Myofascial pain dysfunction (mpd)
Clinical evaluation
• History: unilateral facial pain
Radiation : pain may radiate to ear,temporal and
periorbital regions,angle of mandible and
back of the neck
Nature of pain: Dull ,constant ache that is worse at
certain times during the day
Limited jaw motion
Attempt at active motion (yawning, chewing,talking)
Increase the pain
Clinical Evaluation
• History
locking of jaw either in closed mouth position
with an inability to open it
locking of jaw in open mouth position with an
inability to close the jaw
symptoms worse in the morning particularly in
patients who grind their teeth during sleep
Parafunctional habbits common
examination
• Inspection:
deviation of mandible to the affected side on
opening
clicking or popping noise in the joint
Physical examination
Maximal interincisal opening,lateral movements
,protrusion measurements
Palpation of muscles of mastication
Physical examiantion
• Examination of cervical muscles
• Palpation and auscultation of TMJ
• Examination of oral cavity,dentition,occlusion,
• Examination of salivary glands
• Inspection and palpation of anterior and
posterior aspects of the neck
• Auscultation of carotids
• Examination of cranial nerves
Findings in physical examination
• Noise in TMJ on mandibular movement
• Muscle tenderness producing pain or
discomfort on palpation of masticatory
muscles
• Tenderness in anterior meck
muscles(suprahyoid and sternocleidomastoid)
• Tenderness in posterior cervical paraspinal
muscles(semispinalis capitis, splenius
capitis,and suboccipital muscles)
Findings on physical examination
• Tenderness in upper shoulder muscles(
trapezius anf levator scapulae)
• Mandibular hypomobility and deviation on
opening
Palpation of TMJ's lateral and posterior aspects
Palpation of the superficial and deep
masseter muscle
Palpation of anterior and posterior temporalis muscle
Myofascial pain dysfunction (mpd)
Measurement of maximum active opening and maximum
lateral movement
Joint sound inspection with a stethoscope
Blood chemistry
• Blood and serum inflammatory markers to
rule out autoimmune and vasculitis)
CLINICAL EVALUATION
• IMAGING
• DIAGNOSTIC NERVE BLOCKS
• TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS
• DENTAL MODELS FOR MAXILLOMANDIBULAR
ANALYSIS

management
Principles of management of pain dysfunction
syndrome
• Exclude joint disease
• Exclude giant cell arteritis
• Exclude pain and infection of dental origin
• Reassurance and education
• Conservative management-reversible
treatments only
• Soft diet and jaw exercises
• Consider need for a splint
• Analgesics or anxiolytics in selected cases
Myofascial pain dysfunction (mpd)
Treatment options
generic approach using several
modalities
• Reassurance
• Stress management
(relaxation
exercises,biofeedback)
• Occlusal splint therapy
• Physical
therapy(TENS,Massage,exer
cise program)
• Application of heat to
affected muscles
• NSAIDS
• MUSCLE RELAXANTS
• ANXIOLYTICS
• Anticonvulsants
• Botox
• Trigger point injections
• Vapocoolant spray

OCCLUSAL SPLINT
• OCCLUSAL SPLINT: simple flat plane splint that
covers all the teeth, and all the teeth should
touch the splint evenly in centric occlusion
and in centric relationship
• Splint should have a shallow anterior guidance
that separates the teeth during excursive
movements
• The concept is to give rest to the muscles and
to decrease TMJ loading
INVASIVE TREATMENT MODALITY
• PATIENTS NOT RESPONDING TO
CONSERVATIVE THERAPY WITH AN OCCLUSAL
SPLINT HAVING SIGNIFICANT
MALOCCLUSIONORTHODONTIC
TREATMENT OR ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY(TX
MODALITY)
OTHER MODALITIES
• Trigger point injections:local anaesthetic with
or without steroid injected directly into tender
areas in the muscles
• Botulinum Toxin: MPD improved with
injection of botulinum into muscle to reduce
muscle activity
