Comprender la disfunción de la articulación temporomandibular: síntomas, causas y opciones de tratamiento

Ilustración de la anatomía del trastorno de la articulación temporomandibular (ATM), en la que se muestran la articulación de la mandíbula, los músculos y el conducto auditivo, con un dedo que señala la zona en la que se siente dolor, lo cual es relevante para los debates sobre salud dental.

Acerca de TMD

Aunque mucha gente ha oído hablar de la ATM, la afección que provoca la disfunción de la articulación temporomandibular se denomina en realidad «trastorno temporomandibular» (TMD). Se trata de una afección causada por una desalineación entre la mandíbula superior y la inferior. Las personas con TMD pueden apretar o rechinar los dientes de forma inconsciente. Aunque rechinar o apretar los dientes es un síntoma habitual, el hecho de presentar estos síntomas no significa necesariamente que se padezca TMD.

Hay múltiples síntomas asociados al trastorno de la articulación temporomandibular (TMD), como el dolor crónico en la mandíbula, el cuello o los hombros. Algunas personas también pueden sentir que les chasquean los dientes al morder o tener la sensación de que sus dientes no encajan correctamente.

El diagnóstico de la disfunción de la articulación temporomandibular (ATM) puede resultar complicado, pero tu dentista evaluará la posibilidad de que se trate de una tendinitis, miositis o mialgia, una disfunción muscular o un pinzamiento nervioso. Las causas pueden ser varias, y tu dentista analizará todos los factores antes de diseñar un plan de tratamiento a tu medida.

A menudo, se pueden utilizar remedios caseros para aliviar los síntomas. Sin embargo, si estos no surten efecto, tu dentista podría recetarte inyecciones de cortisona, un puente dental o un lavado para aliviar los síntomas.
