11. Neural circuits engaged in mastication and orofacial nociception
Sammanfattning : A deeper understanding of both movement control and the effects of nociceptor inputs on our motor systems is critical for proper clinical diagnosis of musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and for development of novel rehabilitation schemes. In the jaw system, masticatory movements are produced by a central pattern generator (CPG) located in the brainstem. LÄS MER
12. Orofacial pain and jaw function in children and adolescents : epidemiology, biopsychosocial implications and caregivers' approach
Sammanfattning : Relying on practitioner knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain (OFP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in children and adolescents tends to be insufficient for effective dental practice. To improve overall performance, it is crucial to discuss topics related to practitioner competency, including professional knowledge and its associated perspectives. LÄS MER
13. Orofacial aspects of juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children
Sammanfattning : Aims: This thesis, which investigates orofacial aspects and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), aims to improve knowledge about the variables to include in a clinical examination, radiographic imaging techniques, and whether saliva can be used as a medium for disease monitoring. Material and methods: In a prospective longitudinal study comprising 59 children diagnosed with JIA, clinical and radiological data were collected. LÄS MER
14. Significance of serotonin for pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia in the human masseter muscle
Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT) is involved in the pathophysiology of human chronic muscle pain. The thesis comprises a clinical and a human experimental part. LÄS MER
15. Exploring temporomandibular disorders : longitudinal and qualitative perspectives
Sammanfattning : Background: Ideally, all clinical decision-making should enable care provision on the best available scientific evidence, clinical experience, and evaluated risks and benefits. Even though there are validated and evaluated decision tools for identification, diagnostics and treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), patients with TMD still seem to go undetected, undiagnosed and undertreated in dentistry.
