“…A relevant percentage of patients (19.8%) also reported new-onset vertigo, confirming that balance disorders are possible complications of TMD [8,17]. Although the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the link between vertigo and TMD are poorly understood, possible hypotheses described in the literature include arterial constriction in the temporal region and irritation of the auriculotemporal nerve due to dysfunction of the masticatory muscles [8,18].…”

“…Parafunctional habits could contribute to the onset and progression of painful TMD due to the great sensitization of afferent nociceptors caused by persistent mechanical stimuli [6]. Some studies have also shown a significant relationship between TMD and otological symptoms [7][8][9], possibly due to excessive mechanical forces on the discomalleolar ligament or direct pressure on the auriculotemporal nerve [10]. In particular, TMDs have been suggested to be a risk factor for the development of severe tinnitus [11].…”

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the prevalence of new-onset otological symptoms and the possible associations between tinnitus and oral parafunctional habits among patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) who attended a Craniofacial Pain Outpatient and a Dentistry Clinic. The medical reports and charts of patients who experienced TMD between 1 February 2016 and 31 December 2017 were reviewed, in order to evaluate the prevalence of new-onset aural fullness, vertigo and tinnitus. Tinnitus was also analyzed in more detail to evaluate possible associations with parafunctional habits. A total of 400 patients (301 females, 99 males) met the inclusion criteria, with a median age of 39.6 ± 15.6 years. Overall, new-onset otological symptoms were reported by 304 (76%) subjects with TMD. Among otological symptoms, aural fullness was the most common (n = 133, 33.3%), followed by tinnitus (n = 92, 23%) and vertigo (n = 79, 19.8%). No significant correlations were found between tinnitus and bruxism (p = 0.28), clenching (p = 0.11), nail-biting (p = 0.96), sleeping prone (p = 0.27), chewing gum (p = 0.99) and talking for a long time (p = 0.42). The present study suggests that all patients with TMD should be investigated for new-onset otological symptoms, regardless of oral parafunctional habits. Early diagnosis would allow to plan personalized and appropriate therapeutic and rehabilitative pathways, minimizing the negative impact due to TMD.

Introduction: Vertigo appears as a result of a sudden neural activity imbalance of the vestibular system. The vertigo prevalence is higher in patients over 60 years of age compared to patients under 40 years of age. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of craniosacral osteopathy on dizziness and balance in individuals who have peripheral vestibular pathology. Methods: A total of 30 individuals, aged 24–50 years, participated in this study. Twenty-four of the participants were female (80%) and 6 were male (20%). The participants were separated into 2 groups, with 15 patients included in the cranial osteopathy treatment group (study group) and 15 patients included in the group that used dimenhydrinate (control group). The individuals were evaluated in terms of dizziness and balance. A visual analog scale was used to evaluate dizziness. Balance was evaluated using the Berg balance scale and the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence scale. The craniosacral treatment program was applied once per week for 6 sessions. All of the individuals included in this study were evaluated 3 times, i.e., prior to treatment, on the third week of treatment, and on the sixth week of treatment. Results: Significant improvement was noted within each group in terms of dizziness and balance (p < 0.05). When the groups were compared with each other, it was observed that craniosacral osteopathy was more effective than dimenhydrinate treatment for dizziness and balance (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Craniosacral osteopathy is an effective treatment choice in individuals who have chronic peripheral vestibular pathology. In individuals who have resistant and chronic vestibular pathology, craniosacral osteopathy should be evaluated among the treatment choices.

Introducción: El bruxismo está definido como una actividad oral motora que consiste en el apretamiento o rechinamiento involuntario (rítmico o espasmódico no funcional) de los dientes, con una prevalencia de 5.9% a 49.6% en niños. Lo que podría contribuir a problemas clínicos asociados con la articulación temporomandibular. La asociación entre la disfunción temporomandibular (DTM) y el bruxismo en niños aún no está totalmente establecida. Objetivo: El objetivo de esta revisión de literatura es recopilar información actualizada de estudios que hayan abordado la asociación entre el bruxismo y la disfunción temporomandibular en niños de 3 a 12 años. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos de Scopus, Pubmed y Scielo usando los descriptores “Niño”, “Niños”, “Preescolar”, “Bruxismo”, “Bruxismo del sueño”, “Disfunción Temporomandibular”; y, “Síndrome de la Disfunción de Articulación Temporomandibular”. Fueron incluidos artículos publicados en los últimos 15 años en idiomas español, inglés y portugués. Fueron incluidos estudios transversales, de cohorte, casos controles y ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. Resultados: Se evaluaron 242 artículos, de los cuales solo 11 fueron incluidos de acuerdo a los criterios de inclusión. Entre los estudios incluidos, dos de ellos no encontraron asociación entre DTM y bruxismo, tres encontraron una tendencia o probable asociación y seis encontraron una asociación positiva. Conclusiones: Existen estudios que relatan asociación entre el bruxismo y las disfunciones temporomandibulares en niños de 3 a 12 años, relacionando la presencia de signos y síntomas de la DTM con el bruxismo, pudiendo ser este último, un factor de riesgo para la presencia de DTM.
