The best explanation for that pain-free days than women suffering hormonal fl uctuations related to their naturally occurring menstrual cycles; nevertheless, the differences were not statistically signifi cant and a predominant temporal pattern could not be discerned in this small sample [49].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence of temporomandibular Joint disorders (TMDs), among dental university student in Yemen. Material and methods:A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine and Oral Diagnosis, Faculty of Dentistry, Thamar University, Yemen. Study sample consisted of 207 university students (114 males and 93 females). Predictor's variables were age, gender and marital status. The outcomes variables were the signs and symptoms of TMDs using the Helkimo clinical dysfunction (Di) and anamnestic (Ai) indices. Results:The results revealed that prevalence of TMDs among Yemeni dental students was 41.07 % (mild: 14.01%, sever: 27.05%). In the clinical examination, 49.76 % (mild: 20.77%, moderate; 12.08% and sever; 16.91%) showed some degree of dysfunction. Females showed a signifi cant higher prevalence of TMDs than males. There was signifi cant association between the dysfunction of TMD and gender (P > 0.005). Conclusion:The result of this study showed that prevalence of TMDs among Yemeni dental students was higher than some studies have reported in the literature. Also, the results revealed that majority of studied sample were not aware of the presence of their TMD

Moreover, women appear to exhibit more severe symptoms of TMD [6,7]. Although the biological basis for this possible gender-based disparity is unclear, the time course of symptoms associated with TMD is of note in females.…”

“…As far as it concerns the genders, many researchers point out that women have a predisposition for TMDs 11,14,16,[19][20][21][22][23] . Recent surveys have showed a significantly higher prevalence of TMDs and greater need for treatment respecting the girls 24 especially during the puberty 25,26 .…”
