Abstract

Today, the issue of improving the effectiveness of treating temporomandibular joint disorders is relevant. According to world statistics, this pathology affects 3 to 7% of the population.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of dental restorative materials such as light-cured photopolymer composites, lithium disilicate, and zirconium dioxide.

Material and methods. The scientometric medical databases PubMed, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library were used with the following keywords: temporomandibular joint, disorders, minimally invasive, occlusal, composites, and lithium disilicate.

Results. According to the analyzed modern scientometric databases, the treatment method of temporomandibular joint disorders is the restoration of the dentition with permanent structures using direct composite restorations, zirconium dioxide, and lithium disilicate-based structures. The main advantage of composite restorations is that they are minimally invasive, but this solution is problematic regarding durability. The advantage of zirconium dioxide and lithium disilicate-based structures is load-bearing capacity, and therefore stability and durability.

Conclusions: Composite restorations are prone to fractures and chipping, unlike ceramic restorations. Among ceramic restorations, successful rehabilitation of dentition has been demonstrated using both lithium disilicate ceramics and zirconia.
