“…The data from the present review indicate that TMD patients with a history of whiplash trauma have more TMD pain and more severe jaw dysfunction, compared with TMD patients without a history of neck injury . These results are in line with previous studies, which suggest that patients with TMD and whiplash comorbidity have more severe TMD pain and dysfunction , seem to have a poorer prognosis for recovery, and seek and demand more treatment .…”

“…In the present review, there were large variations between the primary studies in the reported prevalence of whiplash trauma, with the highest prevalence (70% and 54%) reported in two private TMD clinics . The other studies based in TMD clinics reported prevalence between 24·5% and 39·7% , whereas the only study not based in a TMD clinic reported the lowest prevalence of 8·4% . This study also had the lowest quality score of all included studies, and thus there are uncertainties with regard to the reliability of the reported data from this study.…”

“…The main reasons for exclusion were that studies were not based on TMD populations (62%), did not report original data (27%), or did not define TMD/trauma groups (11%). Six studies on the prevalence of whiplash trauma in patients with TMD met the inclusion criteria and were deemed eligible for inclusion (Table ).…”

“…To improve the diagnosis of TMD, the research diagnostic criteria/temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMDs) were introduced in 1992 and are now widely used by clinicians and researchers. In the present systematic review, most of the primary studies were carried out before 1992 and only one study used these criteria, which have a proven reliability and validity for the diagnosis of TMD . A new evidence‐based DC/TMD protocol for use in both clinical and research setting has recently been developed .…”

The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the prevalence of whiplash trauma in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and to describe clinical signs and symptoms in comorbid TMD/whiplash compared with TMD localised to the facial region. A systematic literature search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library and Bandolier databases was carried out for articles published from 1 January 1966 to 31 December 2012. The systematic search identified 129 articles. After the initial screening of abstracts, 32 articles were reviewed in full text applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Six studies on the prevalence of neck trauma in patients with TMD met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Two of the authors evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies. The reported prevalence of whiplash trauma ranged from 8·4% to 70% (median 35%) in TMD populations, compared with 1·7-13% in the non-TMD control groups. Compared with patients with TMD localised to the facial region, TMD patients with a history of whiplash trauma reported more TMD symptoms, such as limited jaw opening and more TMD pain, and also more headaches and stress symptoms. In conclusion, the prevalence of whiplash trauma is higher in patients with TMD compared with non-TMD controls. Furthermore, patients with comorbid TMD/whiplash present with more jaw pain and more severe jaw dysfunction compared with TMD patients without a history of head-neck trauma. These results suggest that whiplash trauma might be an initiating and/or aggravating factor as well as a comorbid condition for TMD.
