Abstract

Objective: To evaluate possible temporomandibular disorders (TMD) symptoms that may occur due to mask use in dentists during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic period and identify potentially effective factors.

Methods: An online questionnaire consisting of three parts was sent to dentists and clinical dental students. The first part included questions regarding sociodemographic information. In the second part, questions were asked to evaluate stress levels, TMD symptoms, and treatment of TMD, if any, before (T0) and during the pandemic (T1). In the last part, professional mask choice, mask-related parafunctional movements, and breathing patterns while wearing a mask were evaluated.

Results: TMD symptoms and stress levels were significantly higher at T1. An increase in mouth breathing and mask-related parafunctional movements was reported during the use of N95 masks compared with daily life in dentists whose professional mask selection was an N95 respirator. The change in temporomandibular joints pain and muscle pain at rest between T0 and T1 was higher in those whose professional mask choice was N95 respirators than in those who chose to wear one surgical mask.

Conclusion: The increase in mouth breathing and mask-related parafunctional movements during the use of N95 respirators may increase TMD.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间使用口罩对颞下颌关节紊乱的体征和症状的影响:调查研究。
目的评估冠状病毒病-2019年大流行期间牙科医生因使用口罩而可能出现的颞下颌关节紊乱(TMD)症状,并确定潜在的有效因素:向牙科医生和牙科临床专业学生发送了一份由三部分组成的在线问卷。第一部分包括有关社会人口学信息的问题。第二部分的问题是评估大流行前(T0)和大流行期间(T1)的压力水平、TMD 症状和 TMD 治疗(如果有)。最后一部分是对专业口罩的选择、与口罩相关的辅助功能动作以及戴口罩时的呼吸模式进行评估:结果:在 T1 阶段,TMD 症状和压力水平明显升高。与日常生活相比,专业口罩选择为 N95 呼吸器的牙医在使用 N95 口罩时口呼吸和与口罩相关的辅助功能动作有所增加。T0和T1之间颞下颌关节疼痛和休息时肌肉疼痛的变化在专业口罩选择为N95口罩的牙医中高于选择佩戴外科口罩的牙医:结论:在使用 N95 呼吸器期间,口呼吸和与面罩相关的辅助功能运动的增加可能会增加 TMD。
