CBOM experience
When scheduling a dental appointment, the patient will undergo an initial assessment of oral health, which may include a review of medical and dental history, a clinical examination of the teeth, gengiva and mucosa, as well as a request for additional exams.
What is the meaning of diagnosis for CBOM?
By definition, diagnosis is the process of identifying a disease or condition based on signs, symptoms and exams. It is the crucial step in determining the appropriate treatment. The functional and holistic dental diagnosis performed at CBOM is a broad and integrated approach to oral health, which is not limited to identifying problems located on the teeth and gengiva, but also considers the body as a whole. It seeks to understand how the condition of the oral cavity affects and is affected by the general functioning of the body, considering emotional, postural and metabolic factors. It is important to note that the time of diagnosis varies for each patient, and can be from one to several days.
Functional Diagnosis
In functional dentistry, the focus is on understanding the relationship between occlusion and the stomatognathic system, considering craniomandibular biomechanics. The patient’s chewing, speaking, and breathing process are assessed, in addition to checking for dental wear, problems related to occlusion (bite), bruxism (stress management), temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and muscle disorders that may impact postural balance or cause pain.
Holistic Diagnosis
The holistic approach to dentistry analyzes oral health in an integrated manner, connecting it to other systems in the body. This diagnosis considers the patient as an indivisible being, identifying signs related to general health and lifestyle habits, such as diet, stress and sleep, including emotional factors. Aiming at personalized care, this approach gathers data that reveal causes for treatments involving areas such as dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, surgery, orthodontics and posturology. The proposal is multidisciplinary, focusing on oral functionality and the impact of oral health on general well-being.
Clinical evaluation and complementary exams
To obtain a more complete and functional dental diagnosis, in addition to the anamnesis and clinical examination, it is necessary to use complementary exams that aid to accurately identify problems related to the stomatognathic system and oral health in general. These tests provide a more detailed view of structures such as bones, muscles, joints and soft tissues, allowing for a more effective and personalized diagnosis.
Clinical history (anamnesis) and occlusal index
The first stage of the assessment is to collect the patient’s medical and dental history, investigating symptoms and habits such as oralfacial pain, jaws, ears and head, nocturnal habits (teeth grinding), tension due to stress, anxiety, sleep disorders and muscle fatigue upon waking. The patient is the protagonist in this process, enabling a focused or broad analysis, with questions about teeth, occlusion, temporomandibular joint, neuromuscular system and areas of the head, neck, throat and posture.
Postural analysis and postural imaging exams
Assessment of body posture, checking for imbalances that affect occlusion and the stomatognathic system.
Includes imaging exams such as postural photography, which helps in the analysis of possible correlations between postural problems and orofacial pain.
Muscle palpation
Muscle palpation is a fundamental technique in dental diagnosis, regardless of whether we are dealing with cases of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) or severe bruxism, for example. This evaluation allows the dentist to identify possible muscle changes, such as pain, tension or inflammation in the muscles involved with mandible movements, in addition to assisting in the diagnosis of occlusal, postural problems and other disorders in the stomatognathic system.
The importance of accuracy at every step of the diagnosis
Accuracy in each step of the dental diagnosis is essential to ensure the oral health of patients, guide appropriate treatment and prevent future complications. An accurate diagnosis involves a series of steps, from the anamnesis to complementary exams, and each of them contributes to the formulation of an effective treatment plan.
