RECOMMENDED TREATMENT PROTOCOLS
The protocols for the treatment of certain diseases include a brief information of recommended treatment
algorithm: the choice of a tip force and frequency of shocks, the position of the patient.
Temporomandibular joint
Force
Frequency
Load line
The number of shocks
per point:
10
12
90° to the surface
25
Tip:
(Tip No.8) a large rubber protocol tip
Note
*
Treatment without preload. How to level the preload: Take the head in the hand, move the
moving part of the tip with the thumb and index finger. So you can remove a threekilogram load
before percussion.
Test a patient with a 75% opened mouth, the side with the changes being the side
of the correction. The place of contact is the entire mandibular joint.
IMPORTANT: Instruct the patient NOT TO CLOSE his mouth and clench his
teeth. The patient quickly opens and covers his mouth so that only 50% of the
movement of the joint is involved (25% -75%) in the process of correction.
Repeat the previous steps, check the movement of the lower jaw joint. Do not
make more than three sessions per visit. Repeat the protocol three times a week
for one to three weeks. Instruct the patient at home to apply ice for 20 minutes,
then remove ice for 40 minutes. Repeat the procedure three times a day on a day
of treatment.
Sinus
Force
Frequency
Load line
The number of shocks
per point:
10
12
90° to the surface
10-15
Tip:
(Tip No.6) a small rubber protocol tip
Note
* Treatment without preload. How to level the preload: Take the head in the hand, move the
moving part of the tip with the thumb and index finger. So you can remove a threekilogram load
before percussion.
Point 1: frontal process. Point 2: supraorbital fossa. Point 3: nasal bone, anterior
edge of the orbital plate. Point 4: the middle of the malar bone. Point 5: glabella.
Point 6: 12mm above the glabella. Point 7: 25mm above the glabella. Percuss the
points mentioned above and then repeat the procedure again. Perform as
necessary for 1-4 weeks.
