Objectives This study aimed to assess the frequency of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and their correlation with improper operating posture in Iranian dentists. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 59 dentists practicing in Yazd city, Iran with improper operating posture according to the rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) tool (level 2 or higher). Neck pain and disability were evaluated by the neck disability index (NDI), and neck flexion and rotation were assessed by the flexion rotation test-active (FRT-A). The frequency of TMDs was evaluated by clinical examination and Fonseca’s questionnaire. Data were analyzed by the Fisher’s exact test and Spearman’s correlation test (alpha = 0.05). Results A significant correlation was noted between improper posture and TMDs in 23-28-and 29–34-year-old age groups, males and females, in dentists with less than 4 years of work experience, in general dentists, in participants working for a maximum of 38 hours/week and a minimum of 39 hours/week, those visiting a maximum of 3 patients or a minimum of 4 patients per shift, those not using a dental loupe, and those with a suitable dental unit according to their dominant hand (P < 0.05). A significant correlation was found between the RULA level and severity of TMDs in dentists (r = 0.476, P < 0.001). The NDI score had a significant direct correlation with the TMD score (r = 0.476, P < 0.001) while a significant inverse correlation was found between the FRT-A and TMD scores (r=-0.414, P = 0.023). Conclusion The frequency of TMDs and neck disability was higher in dentists with improper operating posture.

“…TMD most commonly develops in females aged 20 to 40 years. 28 Considering the control group's average age and gender, these factors might play a role in the high rate of TMD in the control group. However, a high rate of TMD in the study group cannot be explained by risk factors for TMD.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess bruxism and temporomandibular disorder in mothers of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Materials and Methods: 18 mothers of children with CP and 18 mothers of healthy children were included in study. The pressure pain threshold of the masticatory muscles and the upper trapezius were measured with a digital dynamometer. Maximum mouth opening was assessed with a digital caliper. Bruxism was evaluated by a non-instrumental method. Sleep quality, depression, neck disability, and temporomandibular disorder were evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Beck Depression Index, Neck Disability Index, and Fonseca Questionnaire. Results: Pain thresholds were lower (p<0.05), sleep disturbance, depression, neck disability, and temporomandibular disorder were higher in the mothers of children with CP (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed that bruxism and temporomandibular disorder are highly observed in mothers of children with CP.

“…The SCM is a biomechanical unit consisting of the mandible, skull, hyoid bone, supra-and infrahyoid muscles, and cervical spine, acting in an interconnected manner for stable functioning. Owing to this interrelationship, the presence of cervical changes can have an impact on the stomatognathic system and may affect the mandible and skull base, leading to TMD (Iunes, et al, 2009;Zieliński, et al, 2021;De Abreu, et al, 2021;Balthazard, et al, 2020).…”

“…Imbalances in these complexes can result in myofascial pain caused by hyperactivity of masticatory muscles, decreased contraction force, and increased fatigue. This pain can be generalized, not only restricted to the muscles of the face and neck but extending to the shoulder region (Iunes, et al, 2009;Cuccia & Caradonna, 2009;Zieliński, et al, 2021;De Abreu, et al, 2021;Balthazard, et al, 2020).…”

The muscular structures of the body are interconnected, with the cervical and masticatory systems forming a part of the complex called Manducatory System, which is a part of the organic postural system. Alterations in one of these components induce compensatory changes and affect other systems. These adjustments can lead to temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and craniocervical dysfunction. Their etiology is multifactorial, with a high prevalence of chronic pain, especially in cases of headaches. Cervical alterations are common in TMD, considering the degree of pain and discomfort experienced by patients. This study aimed to conduct a survey of medical records regarding the frequency of TMD with cervical changes in patients who visited our institution between 2017 and 2019. Approximately 81.86% of patients showed cervical changes, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle showed the greatest involvement, especially in the mastoid portion. TMD showed greater involvement in women and was most prevalent between 40-49 years of age. This study contributes to scientific literature, since there are few reports highlighting the need to promote research and financial support in this subject area, which can help improve the diagnosis and treatment of these craniocervicomandibular disorders.
