Abstract

The management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in elderly patients can present a significant challenge for dentists due to its multifactorial etiology, aging-related changes that contribute to TMD, and the fragile psychological state of these patients. Despite the growing prevalence of TMD in the elderly population, the scientific literature provides limited information about effective management strategies for this group. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers and clinicians to focus on improving our understanding of TMD in the elderly population and to develop more effective treatment approaches. This article provides an overview of the prevalence, etiology, pathophysiology, and management of TMD in elderly patients, with a particular emphasis on the challenges associated with this population. By increasing our knowledge of TMD in the elderly, we can improve the quality of care provided to this vulnerable patient group.

老年患者颞下颌关节紊乱。
老年患者颞下颌疾病(TMDs)的治疗对牙医来说是一个巨大的挑战,因为它的多因素病因、年龄相关的变化会导致TMD,以及这些患者脆弱的心理状态。尽管TMD在老年人群中越来越普遍,但科学文献提供的有效管理策略信息有限。因此,对研究人员和临床医生来说,提高我们对老年人TMD的认识和开发更有效的治疗方法是至关重要的。本文概述了老年患者TMD的患病率、病因学、病理生理学和管理,并特别强调了与该人群相关的挑战。通过增加我们对老年人TMD的了解,我们可以提高对这一弱势患者群体的护理质量。
