A Study on the Applicability of TMJ Balancing Therapy for the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

There are many studies that show the association between Parkinson’s disease and temporomandibular joint disorder. However, no clinical studies have yet been reported that TMJ Banlancing Therapy (TBT) can treat Parkinson’s disease. In this study, the applicability of TBT for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease was investigated by reviewing several studies on the factors related to Parkinson’s disease and temporomandibular joint disorder and clinical studies of patients with Parkinson’s disease using conventional oral appliances and exercises. In summary, it is considered that TBT has a high potential for use in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, but it is thought that prospective clinical research is needed in the future to establish objective evidence related to this.
