Abstract Pre Congress

Diagnostics from Head to Toe

Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) and myoarthropathy of the masticatory muscles are major challenges in orthodontic practice and require both accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Modern digital technologies such as axiography and virtual articulators offer new possibilities for functional analysis and splint production. These methods enable a comprehensive assessment of the occlusal contacts of the temporomandibular joint pathways. The function of the masticatory muscles is supplemented by electromyography (EMG), which is valuable not only for diagnosis but also for monitoring splint function in order to optimise and visualise treatment precision. A spine and foot scan in relation to the occlusion completes the therapy options from head to toe.
