Region Stockholm Folktandvarden

Clinical research at Region Stockholm Folktandvarden in Dental Medicina focuses on stomatognathic diseases, especially temporomandibular disorder. The studies are exploring whether new treatment approaches can better relieve jaw muscle pain and improve care for people with myogenous TMD.

• Evaluation of botulinum toxin as a possible treatment for myalgia and myofascial pain
• Assessment of treatment effectiveness for temporomandibular disorder
• Research aimed at improving symptom relief and everyday oral function

This work is designed to clarify how well the therapy performs in practice and whether it can support more effective, patient-friendly management of jaw-related pain.

Another research focus at this Stockholm site involves musculoskeletal diseases, with attention to pain-related conditions affecting the jaw muscles and surrounding structures. The clinical trials are examining whether targeted interventions can improve comfort and function for patients with persistent muscle-related symptoms.

• Study of muscle pain linked to temporomandibular disorders
• Testing a new therapy approach for jaw muscle symptoms
• Investigating whether treatment response varies by dose

The goal is to strengthen understanding of how to manage muscle pain in the jaw region and to support better treatment choices for patients with chronic discomfort.

Research in bacterial infections and mycoses at this hospital/clinic is centered on infection prevention in dental surgery, particularly in cases involving oral bone augmentation. The trials are assessing ways to improve protection against infection while supporting successful implant-related procedures.

• Evaluation of antibiotic prophylaxis in dental implant surgery
• Study of infection prevention around bone augmentation procedures
• Comparison of different approaches to support surgical safety and recovery

This research aims to determine which preventive strategy offers the best balance of effectiveness and clinical usefulness for patients undergoing oral reconstruction.
