Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of comprehensive nursing combined with intraoperative correction via computer navigation on mouth opening and satisfaction in patients with temporomandibular joint(TMJ) ankylosis. METHODS: A total of 104 patients with TMJ ankylosis who underwent treatment in Nanjing Stomatological Hospital from February 2016 to February 2023 were included and randomly divided into the control group (n=52, treated with intraoperative correction via computer navigation) and the experimental group(n=52, treated with comprehensive nursing on the basis of the control group). TMJ function, masticatory efficiency, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC) scores, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scores, and patients' satisfaction were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. SPSS 27.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS: After treatment, the maximum mouth opening and masticatory efficiency in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, while DI, PI and CMI were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05). The CD-RISC subscale scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the OHIP-14 subscale scores were significantly lower (P<0.05). Patients' satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive nursing combined with intraoperative correction via computer navigation demonstrates significant therapeutic effects in patients with TMJ ankylosis, which can effectively improve mouth opening, patients' satisfaction and joint function, and is suitable for clinical application.
