  • The Impact of Clear Aligner Treatment in Masticatory Function and Temporomandibular Disorders: A Clinical Cohort Pilot Study
    Teresa Pinho, Vanessa Marcelino, Maria Gonçalves, Rui M. S. Azevedo, Duarte Rocha, et al.
    Healthcare Switzerland, 2025
    Background/Objectives: This study aimed to explore the functional implications of occlusal changes during clear aligner treatment (CAT) to (a) analyze occlusal changes throughout CAT and the extent of post-treatment occlusal recovery; (b) assess the relationship between post-treatment occlusion and masticatory performance; (c) investigate whether case complexity, facial biotype, and type of malocclusion influence occlusal adaptation and functional outcomes; and (d) evaluate the presence and progression of signs or symptoms of TMDs in patients undergoing CAT. Methods: This longitudinal cohort pilot study included 42 individuals who underwent CAT. Occlusion was evaluated at three timepoints: before treatment (T0), at treatment completion (T1), and three months after with night-only aligner use (T2). Masticatory performance was assessed using a two-colored chewing gum test analyzed through colorimetric software. TMD signs/symptoms were assessed using the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD [DC/TMD]. Statistical analysis used non-parametric tests. Results: A significant decrease in occlusal contact area was observed during active CAT [p = 0.016], which partially recovered at follow-up. Individuals with normal facial proportions (normodivergent) showed more anterior contacts at T1 compared to hyperdivergent individuals [p = 0.013]. Masticatory performance remained stable between T1 and T2 [p = 0.528]. A weak negative correlation was found between posterior contact number and performance score at T1 [r = −0.378, p < 0.05], suggesting that more contacts may be linked to better chewing. No TMD signs or symptoms were detected at any timepoint. Conclusions: Although CAT temporarily reduces occlusal contact area, it does not negatively impact chewing efficiency or trigger TMD symptoms. These findings support the functional safety of CAT when treatment is properly planned and monitored.
  • The Effect of Physiotherapy on Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition After ACL Injury or Reconstruction: A Systematic Review
    Maria Paço, Maxence Peysson, Elona Dumont, Mário Correia, Anna Quialheiro, et al.
    Life, 2024
    Arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) following ACL injury or reconstruction is a common issue that affects muscle activation and functional recovery. Thus, the objective of this study was to systematize the literature on the effects of physiotherapy interventions in the rehabilitation of AMI after ACL injury or reconstruction. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The risk of bias was evaluated using the PEDro scale and the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Searches were performed in the PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases. Randomized controlled trials involving patients with ACL injuries or ACL reconstruction were included. Twenty studies were included. Fifteen evaluated the effects of exercise, showing significant improvement. Seven studies examined electrotherapy, with neuromuscular electrical stimulation and high-frequency therapy combined with exercise showing improvements in muscle strength, pain, and joint range of motion. Nine studies explored interventions like motor imagery, cryotherapy, taping, and vibration. When performed before exercise, motor imagery and cryotherapy improved cortical activity and muscle recovery. Kinesio taping reduced edema and pain better than exercise alone. Vibration showed inconsistent results across three studies. Methodological quality varied between 5 and 8 on the PEDro scale, with moderate-to-low risk of bias. Structured exercise should be the first-line intervention, but combining it with other therapies enhances rehabilitation. The study protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023425510).
  • Occlusal Changes with Clear Aligners and the Case Complexity Influence: A Longitudinal Cohort Clinical Study
    Vanessa Marcelino, Sofia Baptista, Sandra Marcelino, Maria Paço, Duarte Rocha, et al.
    Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
    Background: Clear aligners (CA) are used 22 h daily, creating a bite-block effect. This work aims to (i) analyze occlusal changes before the beginning of treatment, after the first set of CA and after the use of additional aligners; (ii) compare planned occlusal contacts with the ones obtained after the first set of CA; (iii) analyze the occlusal changes occurred after reaching the orthodontic goals after 3 months of using CA only at night; (iv) evaluate and characterize which tooth movements did not allow the treatment to be completed at the end of the first set of aligners, and finally (v) verify the possible relation between the changes in occlusal contact and areas and parameters such as case complexity and facial biotype. Materials and Methods: A quantitative, comparative, and observational longitudinal cohort study design was implemented to evaluate the clinical data and the complexity levels of cases receiving CA. A non-probabilistic and convenience sample of 82 individuals was recruited. The orthodontic malocclusion traits were classified as simple, moderate, or complex corrections based on the basis of the Align® recommendations with the Invisalign® evaluation tool. According to the Invisalign® criteria, patients need only one complex problem for their case to be classified as complex. Meshlab® v. 2022.02, ClinCheck® version Pro 6.0, My-Itero® version 2.7.9.601 5d plus, and IBM® SPSS Statistics software (Statistical Program for Social Sciences), version 27.0 for Windows were the software® used. Results: A statistically significant decrease in area and occlusal contacts number were observed from before the start of orthodontic treatment (T0) to the end of treatment (T1). The changes in the occlusal area (from T0 to T1) were statistically different between hyperdivergent (28.24 [15.51–40.91]) and hypodivergent (16.23 [8.11–24.97]) biotypes (p = 0.031). A significant difference between the hyperdivergent (4.0 [2.0–5.0]) and normodivergent (5.5 [4.0–8.0]) group was found in T1 for the anterior contacts (p = 0.044). Anterior contacts obtained were significantly higher than the planned (p = 0.037) Between T1 and T2 statistically significant increases of occlusal areas, posterior and total contacts were observed. Conclusions: Occlusal contact and area were decreased, either at the end of the first set or after the use of additional aligners. Anterior occlusal contacts obtained were higher than planned as opposed to posterior occlusal contacts obtained. The hardest tooth movements to achieve to complete the treatment were distalization, rotation, and posterior extrusion. After completing orthodontic treatment (T1) to 3 months after (T2) using additional aligners only at night, posterior occlusal contacts were significantly increased, which could be due to the natural settling of the teeth in this period.
  • Masticatory Function in Individuals with Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
    Vanessa Marcelino, Solène De Rovere, Maria Paço, Maria Gonçalves, Sandra Marcelino, et al.
    Life, 2023
    The literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, LILACS, EBSCO, Scielo, between 2012 and 2022. The methodological quality was assessed by using the Newcastle–Ottawa Study Quality Assessment Scale. Mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated and combined in meta-analyses. A total of 1202 participants were included in this systematic review (690 with TMD; 512 without TMD), with 22 articles being included in the qualitative analysis. Only three studies enabled the comparative analysis of the results. Ten articles showed a high methodological quality and a low risk of bias, and twelve had a low methodological quality and an increased risk of bias. The meta-analysis showed that the differences between the intervention and control groups were not statistically significant for the percentage overlapping coefficient of the anterior temporal muscle, for the masseter, and for the torque coefficient. The parameters analyzed with the compound technique for chewing showed altered mandibular functions in individuals with TMD. With the EMG method, it was possible to suggest that TMD in adult individuals causes compensatory muscle behaviors, and several changes in the masticatory function were found.

  • Orthodontic treatment and craniocervical posture in patients with temporomandibular disorders: An observational study
    Maria Paço, José Alberto Duarte, Teresa Pinho
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
    Orthodontic treatment acts through the application of forces and/or by stimulating and redirecting the functional forces within the craniofacial complex. Considering the interrelationship between craniomandibular and craniocervical systems, this intervention may alter craniocervical posture. Thus, our aim is to (a) compare craniocervical posture, hyoid bone position, and craniofacial morphology before, after, and also in the contention phase at least one year after the orthodontic treatment, in patients with temporomandibular disorders and (b) to verify whether the presence of condylar displacement, the skeletal class, or the facial biotype interferes with the abovementioned outcomes. To do so an observational, analytical, longitudinal, and retrospective design study was carried out. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling method was applied. The sample consisted of clinical records of patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders in order to compare pre-orthodontic treatment with post-orthodontic treatment (n = 42) and contention phase data (n = 26). A cephalometric analysis of several variables was performed. The p-value was set as 0.05. When the pre- and post-orthodontic treatment data were analyzed, there were statistically significant changes in variables concerning craniocervical posture (CV angle, C0-C1, and AA-PNS) and also concerning hyoid bone position (C3-Rgn). When pre- and post-orthodontic treatment and contention phase data were analyzed the variables concerning craniocervical posture (C0-C1, CVT/Ver, NSL/OPT, NSL/CVT, NSL/Ver; OPT/CVT, OPT/Ver) and facial biotype had statistically significant changes. This allowed us to conclude that in the sample studied, there were significant differences regarding hyoid bone position (pre- versus post-orthodontic treatment) and craniocervical posture (pre- versus post-orthodontic versus contention), with the craniocervical posture being prone to return to basal values. The presence of condylar displacement was found to significantly increase the H-H1 distance in the three moments of evaluation. Facial biotype was found to significantly increase the NSL/Ver angle on hypodivergent compared to hyperdivergent in the contention phase.
  • Deep friction massage in the management of patellar tendinopathy in athletes: Short-term clinical outcomes
    Paula Chaves, Daniela Simões, Maria Paço, Sandra Silva, Francisco Pinho, et al.
    Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2020
    Context: Deep friction massage (DFM) is often used in the treatment of tendinopathies; however, the pressure applied may vary and interfere with the obtained results. Objective: To assess whether the immediate effects of DFM on pain (pain intensity and time to onset of analgesia) and muscle strength are dependent on the pressure applied during the DFM application in athletes with patellar tendinopathy. Design: Randomized, controlled, cross-over trial. Setting: University research laboratory (institutional). Participants: Ten athletes with diagnosis of unilateral patellar tendinopathy (age 27.90 [5.24] y). Interventions: All participants attended 4 sessions, 3 treatment sessions with DFM applied with different pressures (the mean pressure—previously determined for each participant—and the mean pressure ± 25%) and a control session, each of which was separated by 48 hours. Main Outcome Measures: Pain (intensity upon palpation and time to onset of analgesia), and muscle strength of knee extensors were assessed before and immediately after each session. Results: Pain intensity changed significantly over time (F1,9 = 52.364; P < .001; ) and among sessions (F3,27 = 82.588; P < .001; ), with a significant interaction for group × time (F3,27 = 19.841; P < .001; ). The knee extensors strength did not change significantly over time (F1,9 = 2.240; P = .17; ), nor a significant interaction for session × time was observed (F3,27 = 3.276; P = .07; ). Regardless of the pressure applied, the time to onset of analgesia was not significantly different (F2,18 = 1.026; P > .05; ). Conclusion: It was shown that DFM induces an immediate reduction in pain intensity upon palpation, regardless of the pressure performed. Notwithstanding, the reader should take into account the small sample size and the caution needed in the results’ interpretation.
  • Pressure applied during deep friction massage: Characterization and relationship with time of onset of analgesia
    Paula Chaves, Daniela Simões, Maria Paço, Francisco Pinho, José Alberto Duarte, et al.
    Applied Sciences Switzerland, 2020
    This study aims to determine if a dose–response relationship exists between the pressure applied during deep friction massage (DFM) and the time to the onset of analgesia in an asymptomatic patellar tendon. For this purpose, pressures applied by physiotherapists during DFM (study 1) were characterized and then, based on these pressures, the effects of different DFM pressures on the time to the onset of analgesia were assessed (study 2). First, the mean pressure applied by 40 physiotherapists during a DFM session was assessed with a pressure sensor through an observational, cross-sectional and analytical study. Next, the effects of different pressure intensities (the median, the percentile 25 (P25), and the percentile 75 (P75) of the mean pressure obtained in study 1) were studied in a crossover trial enrolling 30 participants with an asymptomatic patellar tendon. A pressure sensor was used to register the pressures applied during DFM. Our main results indicated that the physiotherapists applied pressures with a wide variation ((mean pressure: 2.317 kg/cm2 (P25: 1.022 kg/cm2; P75: 4.161 kg/cm2)). It was also shown that higher pressures had shorter times to the onset of analgesia (pressure: 1 kg/m2, time to the onset of analgesia: 67.0 s (P25: 84.5 s; P75: 113.5 s); pressure: 2.3 kg/m2, time to the onset of analgesia: 59.0 s (P25: 73.5 s; P75: 87.3 s); pressure: 4.2 kg/m2, time to the onset of analgesia: 37.8 s (P25: 54.0 s; P75: 62.0 s)) (p ≤ 0.001). In conclusion, the mean DFM pressure obtained by the physiotherapists was 2.3 kg/cm2 (P25: 1.02 kg/cm2; P75: 4.16 kg/cm2). Higher pressures of DFM resulted in shorter times to the onset of analgesia.
