Chin hook ring mouth opening restricted

The jaw hook is part of the head joint. If the joint in this area is damaged, it will affect people's chewing function. Therefore, when a problem is found in this area, it needs to be treated in time. Otherwise it may cause serious physical problems. If you find that your chin is hooked and your mouth opening is restricted, you should find out the problem in time and deal with it in time. Today I will give you a detailed introduction on the problem of chin hook and restricted mouth opening.

The chin hook is called the temporomandibular joint (the temporomandibular joint is also called the "temporomandibular joint" or "mandibular joint". It is composed of the mandibular head, the mandibular fossa and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone, and the left and right sides are combined into a joint joint, which is responsible for opening and closing the mouth and chewing movements). This is probably the pain in the temporomandibular joint area caused by trauma.

1. Drug treatment:

(1) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: They inhibit cyclooxygenase and prevent arachidonic acid from synthesizing prostaglandins, which are inflammatory and pain mediators, thereby exerting analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

(2) Glucosamine sulfate: The purpose of drug treatment for osteoarthritis is to eliminate inflammation and relieve pain. Although there is currently no drug that can definitely inhibit or repair the degeneration of joint tissue and articular cartilage, evidence suggests that glucosamine sulfate may be a drug that can simultaneously improve osteoarthritis symptoms and joint structure.

(3) Opioid analgesics.

(4) Antidepressants.

(5) Anticonvulsant drugs.

(6)Corticosteroids.
