Q. What is functional analysis?
A. In 1970, Dr. Bernard Jankelson developed an electronic instrumentation for the diagnosis and treatment of stomatognathic disorders. The functional occlusion theory was, from that moment, backed-up by scientific evidence. Many clinicians and researchers have developed and extended the Jankelson concepts into an established clinical procedure mainly for the prosthetic patient. Research must still be carried out in the growing patient for interceptive therapy and in the general orthodontic field. Instruments are:
- T.E.N.S.: Trancutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation.
- Surface Electromyography.
- Mandibular Kinesiograph.
Q. Do I need all the instrumentation to be a member of the ICNOG?
A. No. Neuromuscular concepts make the difference.
Q. Can I send my clinical cases for discussion?
