“…It is estimated that 40 to 75% of the general population have some sign of TMD and 33% have at least one symptom (1,2). TMD is a collective term that covers a large number of clinical problems involving the chewing muscles and/ or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) (3). This dysfunction generates a range of signs and symptoms that are often similar to those of other disorders or diseases.…”

Anterior and medial angulations of the styloid process in subjects with TMD: clinical and radiographic findings

et al. 2013

This study investigated the existence of association between the angulation of the styloid process on the anterior and medial directions with the intensity of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) symptoms. Fifty patients (8 men and 42 women) aged 25 to 70 years, with relevant TMD symptoms were evaluated. Clinical examinations were performed to determine the severity of TMD symptoms (orofacial pain, headache, tinnitus and dizziness) based on the RDC/TMD criteria and the visual analogue scale (VAS), and digital radiographic images of the styloid process were obtained: lateral cephalometric skull radiograph (analysis of anterior angulation) and posteroanterior skull radiograph (reverse Towne's projection) (analysis of medial angulation). The anterior angulation average of the styloid process was 20.89° while the medial angulation average was 19.1° in the right side and 19.04° in the left side. There was no statistically significant difference among the patient groups (severe, moderate and mild symptoms) associating the TMD symptoms and the anterior or medial angulation of the styloid process (p>0.05). There was no correlation between the intensity of the TMD symptoms and the measurements of anterior and medial angulation of the styloid process using either lateral cephalometric or posteroanterior radiographs (reverse Towne's projection).

“…Other symptoms, such as headache, earache, neck pain, tinnitus and dysphagia are also related to this disorder [28][29][30]. Similar signs and symptoms may be found in other diseases, such as Eagle's syndrome, and it may be difficult to establish the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment [10,31].…”

The prevalence of torus mandibularis, Eagle's syndrome and parafunctional activity was reported to be higher in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and might be useful as an indicator of increased risk of temporomandibular disorders. This study case report was to evaluate a 62-year-old female patient, with limited mandibular and cervical movements, articular and muscular pain, ear fullness, irritation of the lingual mucosa, discomfort associated with movement of her tongue, involving temporomandibular dysfunction, torus mandibularis and Eagle's syndrome. The treatment comprehended the collection of data of Helkimo's Clinical Dysfunction Index, electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles in rest position and bite force, masticatory efficiency, speech evaluation and oclusal splint, after the excision of the stylohyoid process and mandibularis torus. The authors found a decrease in electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles, a reduction of painful symptoms throughout the region muscular and joint pains, an increase in the amplitude of mandibular movements, an improvement in masticatory efficiency and an increase in bite force.

“…37 In this context, the RDC/TMD and Fonseca Index have been employed as assessment methods for the diagnosis and degree of sever- ity of TMD, respectively. 24,25,38 The RDC/TMD is currently considered the most complete assessment tool for the evaluation of individuals with TMD, as it encompasses the physical and psychological aspects related to this disorder and allows different diagnoses based on the involvement of the masticatory muscles, joint disc and/or temporomandibular joint.…”
