Therapeutic effect of temporomandibular joint postural training by functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for the balance of the meridian and neurologic system was observed in a facial palsy case. An idiopathic facial palsy case of House-Brackmann grade V was managed with FCST, combined with acupuncture and postural training of the cervical and pelvic structures. Clinical outcome measurement was performed by House-Brackmann grade and Yanagihara's scale. The patient showed positive changes in the degree of palsy and subjective symptoms within one month. Further research on the effect of FCST is expected.

Human beings have made remarkable advances in medical technology as well as technological advances. However, as was the case in the past, incurable diseases still exist: temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). The diagnosis of the Korean medical staff, currently called a "medical advance," is adhering to the outdated patient's comments, diagnosis using a doctor's auditory diagnosis and a ruler, and diagnosis of X-ray imaging. Therefore, it is important to have accurate patient symptoms, to have a doctor's own diagnosis and experience, to increase the number of diagnoses due to the severity of the symptoms, and to cover the costs of medical care. To solve this problem, the core conductive signal generated from the bridge was quantified through %MVC. Quantified EMG will be assessed and compared with Cortex to establish a jaw joint condition evaluation criterion.

Temporomandibular disorders(TMD) have been defined as a collective term embracing a number of clinical problems that involve the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles, and associated structures. Since Dr. Costen, an otolaryngologist, published his article in 1934 claiming that pain in and around the jaw and "related ear symptoms" improved with alteration of the bite, diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders(TMD) have been within the concept of occlusion. However most of the modern descriptions for TMD no longer include occlusal disorders within their domain. Despite this trend toward the exclusion of occlusal disorders from TMD domain, the historical linkages between TMD and occlusal therapy are still strong. Currently the most popular theories regarding TMD etiology are based on the biopsychosocial model. In the future, treatment modalities should be directed at the pathophysiological processes of joint and muscle pain as well as the psychosocial aspects of chronic pain.

This paper examined the relationship between stress, the most potential cause among a variety of factors causing temporomandibular joint disorder, and temporomandibular joint disorder. In particular, this paper aimed to identify the temporomandibular joint disorder of those who were in their 20s, the age when temporomandibular joint disorder possibility increased. The survey was conducted by randomly selecting 120 college students who understood the purposes of this research and agreed to the survey from July 11 to 30, 2011. For the general features of the subjects, only gender showed any statistically significant difference. In the relationship between stress and habits related to temporomandibular joint disorder, the habit which the subjects had the most was "propping up of the chin", 64.4%. Five habits were observed the most frequently in the group with the highest stress. The habit of chewing on one side of the mouth showed the highest response as 81.5% in the group with high stress. Other habits showed similar results, about 60%.

The purpose of this study is introduce the spiral taping treatment on Temporomandibular Disorder in oral Medicine. The taping treatment is relatively simple and dosen't have any adverse effect, so it has high stability and superior effect of treatment. In this study, using the spiral taping treatment as one of the effective taping treatments, non-stretched tape was attatched to the muscles which set limit to the range of joint movement and cause pain to temporomandibular joint. With that treatment this study tried to make effective results of treatment of temporomandibular disorder. These results suggest spiral taping treatments contribute to the improvement of tempermandibular disorders. Further this study is needed for the confirmation of this effect of spiral taping treatments on temporomandibular disorders.

A 8 year-old male patient with tic disorder was managed by appliance of Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) for 7 months, combined with acupuncture. After being treated for 7 months, the patient's symptoms were improved. Assessment was made by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and clinical observation. A positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in recurrent or habitual type temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation. One Recurrent or habitual type TMJ dislocation case was managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on TMJ, combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. The patient showed positive changes even after the initial treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Although it is not clear the effect is sustaining or temporary in its nature, a positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

본 연구는 측두하악관절장애의 증상이 있는 악관절의 통상적인 방사선 단층촬영술에 대한 해석과 관절강 측정에 대한 조사자내, 조사자간 신뢰도를 조사하였다. 신뢰도 검사는 조사자들 간에 판독의 일관성이 있는지와 일정 시간이 지난 후 반복 측정 시 판독의 정확성이 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 시행하였다. 조사자내 상관계수는 과두 형태에 대해서는 각각 0.812와 0.619, 골변화 형태에 대해서는 모두1.00, 골변화에 대해서는 0.846과 0.991, 전방관절강에 대해서는 0.919와 0.966, 상방관절강에 대해서는 0.864와 0.955, 그리고 후방관절강에 대해서는 0.718과 0.672였다. 통상적인 방사선 단층촬영술이 신뢰도가 있음을 보여주는 이 연구의 결과로 보아, 측두하악 관절을 평가하는데 있어서 통상적인 방사선 단층촬영술은 높은 진단학적 정확성과 조사자간 일치성을 가진다고 할 수 있다.

악관절 잡음과 동통,과두 흡수를 동반한 퇴행성 측두하악장애는 교합 불안정과 개구장애 를 동반하기도 한다. 진단을 위해 CT나 MRI를 이용해 과두 형태 및 디스크 위치를 파악하 는 것이 유용한 접근법이다. 퇴행성 측두하악관절 환자는 CT나 MRI를 이용하여 진단하고, 과두-원판 재위치와 근 기능 개선을 위해 장기간 교합 안정장치 사용이 필요하므로 교정치료 기간에 변형된 교합 안정장치의 병용이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서 교합 안정장치를 병용하여 교합 재구성 증례를 CT나 MRI로 고찰해 보고자 한다.
