“…Indeed, recent evidence in the literature reports that approximately 30% of asymptomatic 20‐year‐olds have some form of cervical degeneration (disc degeneration, disc bulging or protrusion) with approximately 80% of those affected at the age of 80, identified using MRI scanning . Furthermore, TMJ degeneration/abnormalities are also reported to occur in up to 35% of asymptomatic patients . These findings are dependent on imaging modality used, as well as the reporting radiologist, with cervical and TMJ abnormalities likely picked up more on MRI as opposed to CT.…”

“…In epidemiological samples, 3 to 7% of individuals report seeking treatment for TMDs (5). TMJ osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) is an age-related degenerative joint disease that results in progressive destruction of articular tissues in the TMJ condyle and glenoid fossa (6). TMJ OA is very common and an important subtype of TMD (7).…”

We evaluated the correlation between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the Helkimo clinical dysfunction index (HDI) in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA). Clinical data and scores for the Chinese version of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-C14) were recorded and analyzed for 541 patients with TMJ OA. Each patient was assigned an HDI score of 1 to 25, which was used to classify severity into three categories. OHRQoL was assessed by using OHIP-C14 score, which ranged from 0 to 56. Both HDI score and severity were significantly correlated with total OHIP-C14 score (P < 0.001 for both comparisons). The scores for all HDI domains except function impairment (P = 0.205) were significantly correlated with OHIP-C14 score. The scores for all seven OHIP-C14 domains were significantly correlated with HDI score and severity. Several correlations between OHIP-C14 domains and HDI domain scores were significant. HDI score and severity were correlated with OHIP-C14 score in TMJ OA patients. As compared with function-related domains, pain-related HDI domains were more strongly inversely related to OHRQoL.

Radiation‐induced temporo‐mandibular joint disorder in post‐radiotherapy nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients: assessment and treatment

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in southern China, and its incidence in Hong Kong is relatively high. Radiotherapy is the mainstay treatment for NPC due to its relatively high radiosensitivity and deep‐seated anatomical position, which is not readily accessible by surgery. Although the technique of radiotherapy in NPC has been advancing and offers promising treatment outcome, complications around the irradiation areas are inevitable and the quality of life of the post‐radiotherapy patients is often compromised. Trismus, which is defined as the restricted mouth opening or jaw movement due to the disorder of temporo‐mandibular joint (TMJ), is one of the possible late complications for radiotherapy of NPC and is found in 5–17% of the post‐radiotherapy (post‐RT) patients. Trismus at early stage may only affect the speech, but in severe cases nutritional intake and oral hygiene condition may deteriorate seriously. This article reviewed the possible causes of radiation‐induced TMJ damage, the various assessments including imaging modalities and possible treatments. The conclusion is that the availability of simple, yet effective examinations for trismus is essential for delaying the progression and restoring TMJ functions. Although there is no absolutely effective treatment for trismus, many supportive, restorative and palliative management are possible under different clinical situations.
