Temporomandibular Problems

MPDS (Muscle Pain Dysfunction Syndrome)

Dr. Serdar Gözler

​

Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is a stomatognathic system disturbance, which consists of pain, jaw movement irregularities, and muscle spasms. Hyperexcitation of peripheral sensory neurons causes a reaction of induction in the motor neuron and then spasms of the masticatory muscles follow. The long-term spasm causes muscular pain and irregular mandibular motion. Pain is the most important inducer and therefore must be managed firstly in order to manage the muscle spasms. Symptomatic treatment approaches may be useful, but after symptom elimination, etiologically based treatment must be provided to the patient. The neurophysiology of the stomatognathic system must be well understood to determine a proper treatment for the MPDS condition. Both symptomatic and etiological treatment methods have been proposed by different authors as potential solutions for MPDS. Occlusal splints are a commonly used treatment for relieving MPDS symptoms. Alternatively, some forms of occlusal adjustment (not all) have been shown to be an effective, permanent treatment course for myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome. This chapter describes the neural controls over the stomatognathic system and how that system can neurologically promote the MPDS disease state. It then details the computer-guided MPDS occlusal adjustment treatment known as disclusion time reduction that has been shown in many published studies to be a highly effective myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) therapy.  More.....

Istanbulda bulabilecegim en iyi doktora rastladigim icin cok mutluyum!!! Almanyada Münih te yasayip Istanbul a Serdar beye tedavi icin gelmek benim icin cok güzel!!!!! Hem doktorlugu, hem insanligi, hem bir Doktor adayi olarak degerlendirebilidigim kadariyla hastalarina ilgisi..Serdar Bey rastladigim en iyi Doktor! Ich kann als angehende Ärztin die Klinik und Dr Gözler nur empfehlen! Nettes Team, extrem kompetente Beratung und er tut wirklich alles, um die bestmögliche Therapie zu ermöglichen! So einen Arzt könnte ich weder in Freiburg, noch in München, noch in Zürich finden! Ich gehe jederzeit zu ihm! Die Behandlungen sind zeitlich sehr effizient aufgrund der optimalen technischen Ausstattung, Wartezeiten sind so gering!!! Die Konpetenz und Herzlichkeit des Arztes spiegelt sich im Team wider...wenn man das einmal erlebt hat, möchte man keinen anderen Arzt sehen!

Serdar bey, benim çocukluğumdan beri sapsarı olan ve aralıklı olan ön dişlerime Amerika ve Avrupa da kullanılan lumineer ( adını yanlış yazmış olabilirim) denilen sistemi uyguladı. Bu sistemle ne acı duydum ne de günlerdir ölçü kalıp ve bekleme süresi yaşadım. Her şey sanki sihirli değnek gibi bir saat içinde olup bitti ve ben başka biri oldum gülüşüm değişti ve aynada kendime bakmaya doymamalı oldum. Hayat iyiki beni Dr Serdar'larla karşılaştırdı. Kendisine ömrümün sonuna kadar minnetler kalacağım . Dişçi korkusu olanlar ve dişleri hiç bir şekilde beyazlatmayanlar Dr Serdar beye uğramalarını tavsiye ederim
