Beyond Basic Screening

We organize bite, joint, muscle, and imaging signals so a clinician can review how the occlusion relates to TMJ movement.

DDwR & DDwoR

Disc displacement with or without reduction can be screened by correlating opening pattern, reciprocal clicks, limitation, and imaging findings.

Myofascial Pain & Bruxism

Chronic clenching may overload masseter and temporalis muscles. Surface EMG adds muscle-activity context for clinician review.

Condylar Asymmetry

Asymmetrical condylar form or growth can contribute to bite shifts. CBCT and clinical examination help determine the relevant pattern.

TMJ Knowledge Hubs

Focused pages for TMJ diagnosis support, TMD analysis, TMJ education, digital temporomandibular planning, digital occlusion, and how to perform occlusion analysis digitally.

TMJ Diagnosis Support

How clinician review uses symptoms, jaw motion, imaging, muscle, and occlusion evidence before diagnosis.

TMD Analysis

How TMJ cases are reviewed across pain, movement, muscle activity, imaging, and bite data.

TMJ

A plain clinical overview of the temporomandibular joint, common symptoms, and digital review context.

Digital Occlusion Analysis

How digital occlusion records and bite timing can support TMJ and TMD clinician review.

Digital Temporomandibular Planning

How structured TMJ evidence supports clinician-led planning, communication, and follow-up.

Dr. Haitham Sharshar is a Cairo-based perio-implantologist and digital dentistry educator building Occlusa around a simple clinical principle: TMJ and occlusion decisions should be reviewed from organized evidence, not isolated symptoms or single-device screenshots.

His work connects CBCT, jaw-motion tracking, Surface EMG, digital occlusion, virtual articulator planning, CAD/CAM workflows, and clinician-led TMD analysis into the AI TMD Analyzer platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my jaw pop when I eat? ▼
Jaw popping may be consistent with Disc Displacement With Reduction (DDwR), where the disc is anterior in the closed position and reduces during opening. Digital jaw tracking helps document the movement pattern for clinician review.
Is TMJ causing my morning headaches? ▼
Morning headaches may be associated with nocturnal bruxism, muscle overload, or other factors. Surface EMG can add useful muscle-activity context, but interpretation still needs clinical correlation.
What is the difference between DDwR and DDwoR? ▼
DDwR (with reduction) may present with reciprocal clicking while opening can remain near normal. DDwoR (without reduction) may present with limited opening or a closed-lock pattern. Digital jaw tracking supports screening, and MRI/clinical examination help correlate the finding.
How do dentists screen TMJ disorders digitally? ▼
Modern digital screening combines DC/TMD-style clinical examination, Zebris JMA jaw tracking (3D condylar path), Surface EMG (muscle tone), and CBCT/MRI imaging, then organizes the findings for clinician review.
Can a splint fix TMJ? ▼
A splint plan should be clinician-reviewed and based on the full case context. AI TMD Analyzer helps organize jaw-tracking and occlusal data that can support a CAD/CAM splint workflow when appropriate.
