Interest of Behavioural Reeducation in Dysfunctions of Masticatory Apparatus. Relations Between Parafunctions and Dysfunctions of Mastixatory Apparatus (PARADYSAM)

July 21, 2014 updated by: Rennes University Hospital

If etiologies of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are various, parafunctions become more and more important. Treatment of patients presenting TMD is based on conservative and reversible therapeutics. The behavioural reeducation of these patients which aims at decreasing their parafunctions is a treatment often performed.
