Association between temporomandibular disorders with clinical and sociodemographic features: An observational study

Abstract

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a gliding joint formed by the mandibular condyle, the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone, a ligamentous synovial capsule, an articular disk, and retrodiskal tissue allow for smooth joint movement. 1 This synovial joint showed free nerve endings and different sensory nerve organs regarding the sensorial and proprioceptive innervation by the masseteric and auriculotemporal nerves and contributes to nourish and lubricate avascular surfaces and to protect bacterial infections. 1 Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are the most common orofacial impairment and the second most common musculoskeletal condition after chronic low back pain affecting the 5%-12% of the entire population and involving a high economic impact (up to $4 billion in USA). 2 TMD are heterogeneous musculoskeletal disorders characterised by symptoms associated with limited range of movement, adventitious sounds (eg clicking, crepitus, grating, popping),

Temporomandibular disorder severity and its association with psychosocial and sociodemographic factors in Turkish adults

“…Several studies have demonstrated an association between psychological factors and TMD, with higher depression/anxiety levels found in patients with TMD [ 3 , 8 , 13 , 28 ]. On the other hand, other studies have failed to find any such association [ 29 , 30 ]. In this study, a significant association was found between the presence and severity of symptoms of TMD and signs/symptoms of depression/anxiety.…”

Sociodemographic Profile: A Forgotten Factor in Temporomandibular Disorders? A Scoping Review

“… 249 patients (150W, 99M), not practicing social isolation during COVID-19 pandemic. Delgado-Delgado, 2021 39 (Spain) Observational DC/TMD 59 participants with (n = 45) and without (n = 14) TMD (35 F, 24 M, mean age = 28.0 ± 10.1 years). Tavares, 2021 40 (Brazil) Cross-sectional cohort cut RDC/TMD 15 patients (5 W, 10 M, mean age = 69.0 years), elderly people with Parkinson’s disease associated with TMD and depression.…”

CMD und Kieferorthopädie

“…Trotz reichlich epidemiologischer und experimenteller Studien konnte keine eindeutige kausale Beziehung zwischen Okklusion und CMD festgestellt werden [13][14][15]. So reichen die Meinungen über die Bedeutung der Okklusion bei CMD von Hauptverursacher, bis hin zu fehlender Korrelation überhaupt [16].…”
