This article presents the development and implementation of an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) associated with altered maxillomandibular position (MP). An innovative clinical-instrumental workflow, including the Centric Guide® system and the T-Scan III digital occlusal analysis, was used to assess functional asymmetries and deviations in mandibular positioning.
A clinical case of a patient with asymmetric MP displacement and associated temporomandibular and masticatory muscle dysfunctions is presented. The treatment protocol involved splint therapy in a registered functional mandibular position (FMP), with significant clinical improvement in pain and occlusal parameters. The results confirm the effectiveness of a structured interdisciplinary approach in diagnosing and treating TMDs.
