“…These were uncommon: The incidence of treated temporomandibular disorders in WAD claims was 0.05% over a five-year period. 51 One study by Matsumoto et al, found that cervical lordosis and angular kyphosis were equally prevalent in normal controls and in patients with acute WAD (presenting to hospital after the injury). 37 Nine cross-sectional studies/case series described associations between various health complaints and having persistent WAD.…”

“…22,23,33,34,36,37,39,42,47,50,51 Three of these studies were cohort studies describing the incidence and/or prevalence of factors associated with WAD. 33,37,51 One study describes the prevalence of various precollision health conditions and incidence of postinjury symptoms affecting neck injury insurance claimants in Saskatchewan. 33 Both sexes also had a high incidence of WAD symptoms other than neck pain, although in general, females reported more postinjury symptoms than males.…”

“…8 A retrospective study utilizing accident records suggested that 0.5% of whiplash-injured patients reported concurrent treatment for TMD, with a female-to-male ratio of 5 to 2. 64 However, a study of subjects treated for acute neck pain following an MVA in Lithuania showed no increase in jaw symptoms compared with controls not involved in MVA. 23 In a prospective study using blinded evaluators, no difference in the incidence of TMD was observed between subjects seen following MVA and matched subjects with an acute ankle injury.…”

We have reviewed the literature relevant to pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) since 1995 and provided a brief summary of literature pertaining to forces action on the head and neck during a motor vehicle accident. The scope of the current review is confined to the Quebec guidelines for WAD grades 1-3 but excludes grade 4 (neck complaints and fracture or dislocation). After excluding papers without scientific data and single case reports or case series with fewer than 20 patients, articles were reviewed for methodological quality. The diagnosis remains clinical. No imaging, physiological, or psychological study provides specific diagnostic criteria. In the acute period up to 2 weeks, soft collars or rest and work-leave do not shorten the duration of neck pain. Sick leave is reduced by high-dose methylprednisolone given within 8 h of injury, but confirmatory studies examining the cost-benefit relationship are needed. In the first 6 months, active as opposed to passive treatment results in improved outcomes. Specific exercise strategies have not been studied. For those with symptoms lasting more than 6 months, percutaneous radio-frequency neurotomy can provide pain relief for many months in those responding to blind local anesthetic facet blocks. Intra-articular corticosteroids are ineffective. Uncontrolled trials suggest that multimodal rehabilitation programs result in improved overall function. The overall prognosis for recovery has varied considerably across studies. Such variability is likely due to differences in case identification methods and whether outcome is assessed in terms of symptoms or the receipt of financial compensation for injury. The impact on prognosis of both collision- and patient-related factors is also reviewed.

“…These findings are categorized into 2 groups for comparison purposes and are listed in reverse chronological order. The first 8 studies, including 4 prospective (Visscher et al, 12 Kasch et al, 13 Bergman et al, 14 Heise et al 1 ) and 4 retrospective studies (Carroll et al, 15 Ferrari et al, 2 Deboever et al, 16 Probert et al 17 ), indicate a low incidence or prevalence. A second group of 8 studies, including 4 prospective studies (Sale et al, 18 Haggman et al, 19 Garcia and Arrington, 20 Kronn 21 ) and 4 retrospective studies (Klobas et al, 22 Pullinger and Seligman 3 , Pullinger and Monteiro, 23 Weinberg and Lapoints 24 ), indicate a moderate to high incidence or prevalence.…”

Objective: The purpose of this article is to offer a narrative review and discuss the possible relationship between temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and whiplash injuries. Methods: Databases from 1966 to present were searched including PubMed; Manual, Alternative, and Natural Therapy Index System; and Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature. Search terms used included whiplash injury, temporomandibular disorders and craniomandibular disorders. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies on orofacial pain of a musculoskeletal origin addressing the following topics: posttraumatic temporomandibular disorder (pTMD) incidence and prevalence, mechanism of injury, clinical findings and characteristics, prognosis (including psychologic factors). Excluded were studies of orofacial pain from nontraumatic origin, as well as nonmusculoskeletal causes including neurologic, vascular, neoplastic, or infectious disease. Results: Thirty-two studies describing the effects of whiplash on TMD were reviewed based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. The best evidence from prospective studies indicates a low to moderate incidence and prevalence. Only 3 studies addressed mechanism of injury theories. Most studies focusing on clinical findings and characteristics suggest significant differences when comparing pTMD to idiopathic/nontraumatic patients. Regarding prognosis, most studies suggest a significant difference when comparing pTMD to idiopathic/nontraumatic TMD patients, with pTMD having a poorer prognosis. Conclusions: There is conflicting evidence regarding the effects of whiplash on the development of TMD. Furthermore, because of lack of homogeneity in the study populations and lack of standardization of data collection procedures and outcomes measured, this review cannot conclusively resolve the controversies that exist concerning this relationship. This review of the literature is provided to clarify the issues and to provide useful clinical information for health care providers managing TMD such as doctors of chiropractic, physical therapists, dentists, and medical doctors.
