Management of temporomandibular disorder in a completely edentulous patient with tens guided complete denture: A case report

Abstract

Pain is an unpleasant experience, which can hinder normal quality of life. This pain when further combined with debilitating conditions such as completely missing teeth becomes a hurdle to perform normal basic functions such as mastication, phonation, swallowing, yawning and in extreme cases even hinders ability to perform normal expressions such as smiling. Thus management of such pain at the earliest together with rehabilitation to prevent future relapse should be the ultimate objective of any treatment plan. The following case report describes a treatment of a patient suffering from TMD with a TENS guided complete denture.
