Abstract

Objective: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) have been historically linked to symptoms such as tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the association between TMDs and audiological symptoms.

Methods: Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search in three databases was performed searching for studies utilizing imaging and audiometric assessments to diagnose TMDs and audiological symptoms. Of the 1153 studies retrived, a total number of 6 studies were included.

Results: Although tinnitus was commonly reported among patients with TMDs, objective audiological deficits were not consistently confirmed. The majority of existing studies lack standardized diagnostic methods and the heterogeneity of methodologies and limited sample sizes restricted the feasibility of a meta-analysis.

Conclusions: The lack of appropriate instrumental diagnostic tests makes it difficult to draw conclusions about the causal relationship between TMDs and audiological symptoms. Future trials are needed to clarify this clinical association.

通过仪器诊断评估颞下颌紊乱与听力学症状的关系：一项系统综述。

目的：颞下颌紊乱（TMDs）历来与耳鸣、听力损失和眩晕等症状有关。本系统综述的目的是调查tmd与听力学症状之间的关系。方法：根据PRISMA指南，在三个数据库中进行全面的文献检索，寻找利用影像学和听力学评估诊断tmd和听力学症状的研究。在检索到的1153项研究中，共纳入6项研究。结果：虽然耳鸣在tmd患者中普遍报道，但客观听力学缺陷并不一致。大多数现有研究缺乏标准化的诊断方法，方法的异质性和有限的样本量限制了荟萃分析的可行性。结论：由于缺乏适当的仪器诊断试验，很难得出颞下颌关节痛与听力学症状之间因果关系的结论。未来的试验需要澄清这种临床关联。

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.
