“…Another interesting statistical finding from the study is that males have a higher risk (1.433 times) of having both their condyles affected compared to females and have a higher risk of bilateral tooth loss (1.635 times) compared to females. Malheiros AS et al have studied the incidence of temporomandibular disorder edentulous patients and found that the degree of tooth loss is directly related to the signs and symptoms of TMD [ 55 ]. The above study agrees with our findings.…”

This study aimed to compare condylar bony pathology in patients with and without temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) using orthopantomography at Ajman University dental clinics between 2017 and 2021. Patient data from the Ajman University archives were collected after obtaining ethical approval. OPG (orthopantomogram) views were evaluated for potential TMJ pathology. Three independent observers underwent calibration and image analysis, with their agreement level calculated using Kappa statistics (score 0.781). Condylar changes were coded from 0 to 6. Statistical tests such as the Mann–Whitney Test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Spearman’s correlation, and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The inter-examiner reliability for OPG was 0.903, and intra-examiner reliability was 0.908. The most common condylar bony changes observed in OPG views were flattening and osteophyte. Female participants had a higher prevalence of all bony changes. Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) can manifest with symptomatic and detectable bony changes in OPG views. The prevalence of temporomandibular disorder appeared similar between genders, but differences were observed regarding the number of teeth lost, with unilateral tooth loss being more common. Interestingly, bruxism did not seem to significantly impact of temporomandibular disorder patients.

“…10 There are also records of a possible association of this condition with the presence of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a common complaint among patients attending dental clinic 19 and represents a set of musculoskeletal conditions affecting bone, fibrous, cartilaginous, and\or muscular structures involved in mandibular movements. It is characterized by the presence of one or more symptoms such as pain at pre-auricular region, face or temple, limiting movement, raising up joint noise, among others.…”

Updating The General Practitioner on The Association Between Teeth Loss and Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review

The belief about a possible association between the absence of one or more teeth and the presence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), although old, is still present among the dental class. Although evidence points to a lack of association between loss of posterior support and the presence of TMD, we do not have critical studies on the extent, quantity, or location of these losses. In this sense, this systematic review aims to investigate the association between tooth loss and the presence of TMD signs or diagnostic subgroups. Search strategies using a combination of keywords tooth loss and TMDs were performed in six databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Livivo, Lilacs, and Scopus) and gray literature from August to September 2020. Observational studies that investigated the association between tooth loss in TMD were considered. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Assessment Checklist for cross-sectional analytical studies, case–control, and cohort studies. Finally, the level of certainty measured by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) was assessed. Six articles were included in the review according to the eligibility criteria. Of these, five had a high risk of bias and one had a moderate risk. Only one study showed an association between the loss of posterior teeth and the presence of joint sounds and joint pain, the others found no significant association with sign or TMD subgroups diagnostic.There is no scientific evidence to support the association between one or more tooth loss and the presence of TMD signs and symptoms or diagnostic subgroups.

“…Furthermore, the higher severity of TMD signs and symptoms in edentulous subjects 8,9 has already been proven and it is important to be considered, whereas the most prevalent edentulous population is aged 65-74 years 10 . Thus, this study aimed to evaluate patient characteristics and the diagnosis of orofacial pain through the Research Diagnostic Criteria/ Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) and their association with the impact on OHRQoL in a private elderly community dwelling.…”

Objective: to assess the characteristics associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and their impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of institutionalized elderly people. Subjects and method: it was a cross-sectional study performed in 30 private institutions for the elderly. The data collected included the TMD questionnaire and clinical evaluation assessed by the Research Diagnostic Criteria/Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), as well as the OHIP-49 questionnaire for OHRQoL. Results: twenty-four institutions accepted to participate in the study (n = 375 with 133 fit for answering both questionnaires). Considering the characteristics, tinnitus was the most frequent symptom reported, while 98.5% of the research participants did not present myofascial pain. Disc displacement was observed in 26.3%, while 93% of individuals did not present chronic pain. Severe depression was found in 23.3% of the elderly with 24.1% presenting moderate levels of non-specific physical symptoms, including pain. Poisson regression analysis showed that the characteristics reported were associated with a negative impact on OHRQoL. Conclusion: the domain-specific analysis showed that all domains were affected negatively by TMD characteristics and higher levels of depression are associated with a negative impact on OHRQoL.
