Abstract [is]

Slæm munnheilsa, t.d. tanntap og verkir vegna kjálkaliðskvilla (TMD), getur haft mikil áhrif á lífsgæði og félagsleg tengsl einstaklinga. Þessar einstaklingsbundnu afleiðingar geta að sama skapi haft áhrif á samfélagið, þar sem slæm munnheilsa getur leitt til versnunar á almennu heilsufari og aukið kostnað í heilbrigðiskerfinu, meiri fjarvistum frá vinnu og atvinnuleysi. Ójöfnuður er stór áskorun þegar kemur að tanntapi og bágborin tannheilsa er algengari hjá félagslega viðkvæmum einstaklingum en hjá öðrum. Þessi félagslegi og hagræni ójöfnuður er minna áberandi hvað varðar TMD verki, en þar er algengi mun meira hjá konum. Hjá einstaklingum í viðkvæmri félagslegri stöðu getur fremur einföld og inngrips lítil meðferð með tanngervum verið góður meðferðarkostur og ýmislegt bendir til þess að enduruppbygging tanna geti ýtt undir félagslega endurhæfingu. Hvað varðar TMD verki er mælt með meðferð án inngrips, s.s. fræðslu, góðri sjálfsumhirðu, hugrænni atferlismeðferð, teygjum og bitskinnum.

Social and societal implications of tooth loss, TMD pain and rehabilitation hereof

Poor oral health, as in the case of tooth loss and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain, can have large impact on a person’s quality of life and social relations. These individual consequences can in turn be important for society, as the poor oral health can lead to general health issues, higher costs in the health care system, more absence from work, and unemployment. Inequality is a major challenge in relation to tooth loss and socially vulnerable citizens more often presents a non-functional dentition. For TMD pain, inequality in relation to socioeconomic position is less pronounced and the main issue is instead a predominant female prevalence. In socially vulnerable persons, relatively non-invasive and simpleprosthetic rehabilitation can be a good treatment option and there is some indication that oral rehabilitation can helpin a social rehabilitation of these citizens. For TMD pain, non-invasive treatments such as patient education, self-care, cognitive behavioral modification, stretching, and occlusal appliances are recommended.
