“…Joint tenderness was seen in 5.2% of the sample and this is in agreement with studies done by Pullinger et al [10], Solberg et al [8], Spencer [9], Swanljung et al [15], Hansson et al [16] and Grossfield et al [17] which showed joint tenderness from 2 to 10%. In this study no significant relation was found between joint tenderness and attrition.…”

A study was planned to determine the severity of dental attrition in adults of both sexes in different age groups and its possible relationship to temporomandibular disorders. 500 subjects comprising of 260 females and 240 males in the age group of 18-55 years were clinically examined for bruxism, attrition, and signs of temporomandibular disorders. Tooth sensitivity, tooth or restoration fracture, scalloping of tongue, ridging of buccal mucosa, TMJ sounds, muscle tenderness, TMJ tenderness, referred pain, pain on mouth opening and limitation of mouth opening were recorded along with attrition score in a proforma. The basic data was then analysed to arrive at certain conclusions. A high prevalence of attrition (88.0%) with increase in age (P < 0.00) and was seen more in males as compared to females (P < 0.01). On comparing attrition with some of the signs of bruxism it was shown that tooth or restoration fracture and scalloping of tongue had no relation to the severity of attrition score. Whereas a significant relation was seen between attrition and tooth sensitivity (P < 0.00), and ridging of buccal mucosa (P < 0.05). Muscle tenderness (P < 0.00), pain on mouth opening (P < 0.05) and deviation of mandible on mouth opening (P < 0.00) had significant relation to attrition. Other signs of temporomandibular disorders such as joint tenderness, referred pain, joint sounds and limitation of mouth opening had no relation to attrition score. This study showed a limited association between the severity of attrition and TMJ dysfunction.

“…Mild forms of signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders (CMD) with only a few sex, but many racial, differences, were found to occur to a high degree, similar to the prevalences reported from studies on the 7-yearold age group (Grosfeld & Czarnecka, 1977;Egermark et al, 1981). Bruxism was more common in AfrieanAmerican children, bui only at the 5% level.…”

Children, 4-6 years old, 153 Caucasian and 50 African-American, from a pre-school and kindergarten programme in a low income industrial area, who participated in a voluntary oral health examination, were questioned and examined for signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders (CMD) and of oral parafunctions. Most of the CMD signs and symptoms were mild. Eight per cent had recurrent (at least 1-2 times per week) TMJ pain, and 5% had recurrent neck pain, African-American children more often than Caucasian children (P < 0.05). Seventeen per cent had recurrent headache. Three per cent had recurrent earache. Pain or tiredness in the jaws during chewing was reported by 25% of the children, more often by African-American than by Caucasian children (P < 0.001) and more often by girls than by boys (P < 0.05). Pain at jaw opening occurred in 10% of the children, more often in the African-American than in the Caucasian group (P < 0.001). Thirteen per cent of the children had problems in opening the mouth. Deviation during opening was observed in 17% and reduced opening in 2%. Reduced lateral movements, locking or luxation were not observed in any child. Palpation pain was found in the lateral TMJ area in 16%, in the posterior TMJ area in 25%, in the temporalis and masseter areas in 10%, and pain for all regions was found more often in the African-American than in the Caucasian children (P < 0.01). Thirty-four per cent of the African-American, and 15% of the Caucasian children admitted to having ear noises (P < 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

“…However, the possible effect of morphological occlusion parameters on TMJD is not well known: some authors mention significant associations between occlusal factors and TMJD (Williamson, 1977;Mohlin et al, 1980;Brandt, 1985;Riolo et al, 1987), while others do not (Grosfeld & Czarnecka, 1977;Green & Marbach, 1982;Gunn, Woolfolk & Faja, 1988;Helm & Petersen, 1989). Some state that morphological occlusion aspects, together with functional occlusion problems, can cause TMJD (Egermark-Eriksson et al, 1983).…”

Cross-sectional data were obtained from 1182 Japanese high school girls of 12 and 15 years old. The data were analysed for the prevalence of specific occlusal features and the prevalence of cardinal Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) symptoms in different occlusion groups. The associations between occlusal features and TMJD symptoms were analysed by the Z-analysis. The results were as follows: the prevalence of TMJD symptoms (total) was about 23% in both age groups examined. Noise had the highest prevalence of the specific TMJD symptoms in both age groups (16% and 11%). With age and for different occlusion groups, there was a significant increase in deviation on opening (P< 0-001) and a decrease in pain and noise (F<0-05). No significant associations were found between the occurrence of TMJD symptoms (total) and occlusal features in all the examined occlusion groups. With respect to specific TMJD symptoms, however, the investigation of the different groups revealed a significant association (P<0-05) of intra-arch occlusal (crowding) features with the occurrence of deviation on opening and with the occurrence of the combined TMJD symptoms which include deviation on opening. This indicates that crowding may be an important sign for predisposing TMJD. For the other single disorder symptoms (except pain), we did not find a significant relationship (P<0-05) with aspects of occlusion, which may confirm a multifactorial TMJD problem wherein occlusal features can have a contribution to TMJD.
