The effect of neuromuscular training on an edentulous patient with unstable mandibular position and uncoordinated mandibular movements: a clinical report
摘要
The edentulous patients with unstable mandibular position (MP) and uncoordinated mandibular movement (MM) usually complain the poor therapeutic effect when conventional complete dentures (CCDs) are delivered. This case report aims to observe whether neuromuscular training (NT) using therapeutic complete dentures (TCDs) can improve the MP and MM, thereby promoting the effect of the definitive dentures.
Case presentationNT was conducted using TCDs for an edentulous patient with unstable MP and uncoordinated MM. After a period of masticatory exercises, the patient’s MP and MM improved. Finally, the definitive dentures were delivered, achieving satisfactory results.
ConclusionNT with TCDs can improve unstable MP and uncoordinated MM, leading to successful rehabilitation in edentulous patient.
