Zusammenfassung
Obwohl sich die zahnärztliche Literatur schon seit längerer Zeit mit der Frage eines möglichen Zusammenhangs zwischen kieferorthopädischer Behandlung und Myoarthropathien (MAP) des Kausystems beschäftigt, sind entsprechende klinisch-epidemiologische Studien erst seit relativ kurzer Zeit vorhanden. Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist es, auf der Grundlage der seit 1989 veröffentlichten Studien zur dieser Thematik folgende Fragen zu beantworten. 1. Birgt die kieferorthopädische Behandlung ein erhöhtes Risiko, eine MAP des Kausystems zu entwickeln? 2. Hat die Extraktion von Prämolaren im Rahmen eines kieferorthopädischen Behandlungsplans ein erhöhtes MAP-Risiko zur Folge? 3. Kann umgekehrt eine kieferorthopädische Behandlung dem Auftreten von MAP vorbeugen, oder können vorhandene MAP-Beschwerden durch kieferor-thopädische Maßnahmen kuriert werden? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen führten wir eine Literaturrecherche in der Literaturdatenbank MEDLINE durch, die durch eine manuelle Recherche in ausgewählten Fachzeitschriften komplettiert wurde. Wir fanden 21 Veröffentlichungen von Studien zum Themenkomplex kieferorthopädischer Behandlung und Myoarthropathien. Die Ergebnisse unserer Analyse können wie folgt zusammengefaßt werden: 1. Eine in der Jugend durch-geführte kieferorthopädische Behandlung hat keine Auswirkungen auf das Risiko, später MAP-Beschwerden zu entwickeln. Es liegen keine Anhaltspunkte dafür vor, daß die Anwendung eines bestimmten kieferorthopädischen Behandlungsmittels das Risiko erhöht, MAP des Kausystems zu entwickeln. 2. Ebensowenig wird dieses Risiko durch die Extraktion von Zähnen als Teil eines kieferorthopädischen Behandlungsplans erhöht. 3. Bislang liegen keine überzeugenden Hinweise dafür vor, daß eine kieferorthopädische Behandlung der Entwicklung von MAP des Kausystems vorbeugen kann; eine mögliche Ausnahme stellt eventuell die Korrektur eines einseitigen posterioren Kreuzbisses bei Kindern dar. Es sind keine Anhaltspunkte dafür vorhanden, daß MAP durch kieferorthopädische Maßnahmen kuriert werden können.
Summary
The relationship between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has long been of interest to the practicing orthodontist, but only during the last decade or so have a significant number of methodologicallysound clinical studies been conducted that have investigated this association. The aim of this paper is to critically review particularly those studies that have been published since 1989 and to answer the following questions: 1. Does orthodontic treatment with fixed or removable appliances lead to a greater incidence of TMD? 2. Does the extraction of premolars as part of an orthodontic treatment plan result in a greater incidence of TMD? 3. Does orthodontic treatment prevent or cure TMD? For this purpose, we conducted a MEDLINE search, complemented by a handsearch in selected journals. We found 21 publications of studies related to the orthodontic-TMD interface. Based on these studies, the following statements can be made: 1. Orthodontic treatment performed during adolescence does not increase or decrease the chances of developing TMD later in life. There is no evidence of an elevated risk for TMD associated with any particular type of orthodontic mechanics. 2. The extraction of teeth as part of an orthodontic treatment plan does not increase the risk of TMD. 3. Thus far, there is no compelling evidence that orthodontic treatment prevents TMD, although the role of unilateral posterior crossbite correction in children may warrabt further investigation. Likewise, there is no convincing evidence that TMD can be cured by orthodontic treatment.
