Abstract
Objective: To verify temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and cervical angles in a young and middle-aged population.
Methods: Ninety participants were included, 45 of whom had TMDs. The participants were diagnosed according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs. Lateral cervical radiographs were taken, and relevant cervical angles were measured. The general characteristics of the TMD group and control group were analyzed using chi-square analysis, and the relationship between cervical angles and TMDs was evaluated using the unpaired t-test.
Results: The decrease in C2-C7 Cobb and increase in the posterior occipitocervical angle (POCA) were associated with the incidence of TMDs (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: This study revealed that the cervical angle was related to TMDs. People with a long-time habit of head bending posture had a decrease in C2-C7 Cobb and an increase in the POCA. This group of people was more likely to develop TMDs.
期刊介绍:
The Russian Journal of Marine Biology was founded in 1975 by Alexey V. Zhirmunsky, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Russian Journal of Marine Biology covers a wide range of research and some applied aspects of marine biology as a synthetic science related to various fields of study on marine biota and environment. It presents fundamental research on biological processes at molecular, cellular, organismal, and populational levels in marine organisms. Consideration is given to marine objects as models in life sciences. The journal also publishes papers dedicated to events in Russian and international marine biological science and the history of biology.
