Paulo Renato Junqueira Zuim
Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)
Paulo Renato Junqueira Zuim has made significant contributions to the fields of dentistry, orofacial pain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) research. Recent studies have explored the effects of occlusal splint treatment on TMJ temperature, the relationship between anxiety and chronic orofacial pain in university students with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), and the impact of acupuncture on post-implant paresthesia. Additionally, research has investigated the effect of short-term increases in occlusal vertical dimension on masticatory muscle electrical activities and pressure-to-pain thresholds, as well as the role of TMJ vibration before and after exercises and occlusal splints.
