TMJ Dysfunction Diagnosis through Joint Vibration Analysis and monitoring

Here we'll go through a technique called Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) that many dentists are adopting to help with the correct diagnosis of TMD or TMJ dysfunction before standard dental care is administered. The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are one of the more complicated joints in the human body.

Inflammation or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be caused by a number of factors, including the teeth and the craniofacial muscles. Facial and neck pain, joint and jaw pain, difficulty eating, eye pain, ringing in the ears and tinnitus, and the more well-known 'clicking' and 'popping' of the joints are just some of the symptoms that can be brought on by TMJ. The intracapsular (or "inside the joint capsule") area of the TMJs can be diagnosed with the use of joint bearing vibration analysis.

Often in contemporary dental practice, dentists are forced to rely on less objective methods for identifying TMD in the joint, basing all decisions on therapy and diagnosis on the patient's subjective report of their symptoms. However, pathologic symptoms typically appear later in the course of disease, while the underlying condition monitoring problem is generally detectable well before the patient experiences any noticeable indicators.

Joint Vibration Analysis www.stiweb.com provides dentists with baseline biometric data on the health of the joint capsule space, similar to the way a medical practitioner collects height, weight, and blood pressure during a standard medical exam. Patients do not need to do anything special for the test, which is recorded by the dentist's office and takes only a few minutes.

STI was founded in 1989 as Sales Technology Inc. and created Condition Monitoring Custom Products (CMCP) in 1995 to bring more low cost solutions to our customers while providing the flexibility required in todays competitive market. We changed our name to STI Vibration Monitoring Inc. in 2010 to better reflect our mission.

We changed our name to STI Vibration Monitoring Inc. in 2010 to better reflect our mission. Our products are manufactured in the USA in Texas and Nevada.

STI specializes in low cost alternatives to Rack Based Monitoring Systems, by bringing single channel transmitters and monitors into the market. By creating a monitoring system based on single channels, the costs of machine protection systems are now much more affordable.
