Abstract
Objective: Between 5-12% of the population suffers from Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). TMDs are known for their multifactorial aetiology and one of the proposed associated factors is orofacial trauma. This study investigated the possible association between orofacial trauma and TMD in a tertiary referral clinic.
Methods: Patients were diagnosed with one or more TMD diagnoses; myalgia, arthralgia, headache associated with TMD and/or a TMD function diagnosis. 659 consenting patients were included. The majority were female. Ages ranged between 18 and 86 years. All patients were included in a logistic regression analysis, and 236 were included in a network analysis.
Results: Neither analysis yielded a statistically significant association between orofacial trauma and TMD. Results showed associations between psychosocial variables and TMD diagnoses.
Discussion: These results are contradictory to a recent review, where an association between orofacial trauma and TMD was found. The results on psychosocial variables and TMD diagnoses are corroborated by literature.
Conclusion: In conclusion, in this tertiary referral clinic, no association between orofacial trauma and TMD was found.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
