Abstract: The prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is higher in females, reaching their high peak during reproductive years, probably because of the action of some female hormones, which alter pain threshold. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of TMD in postmenopausal women and its relationship with pain and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In total, 284 patients were evaluated and classified using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). Pain was measured usin… Show more

“…This procedure can also result in increased TMD prevalence because of intubation [22], potentially biasing the results. In contrast, three recent studies found no significant difference in the prevalence of TMD in post-menopausal women on HRT compared to no treatment [23][24][25]. Taken together, the aforementioned studies suggest that hormone replacement may have no significant effect on the prevalence of TMD diseases overall.…”

“…Almost 5% of the global population has some form of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and one third exhibit at least one TMD symptom [27]. Epidemiological studies suggest that TMD-related symptoms are more prevalent in 20 to 40-year-old women [5,10,28].…”

“…This has been attributed to inflammatory responses to stress, sociocultural behavior in response to pain and effects related to hormonal characteristics. One hypothesis is that endogenous reproductive hormones play a role in TMD-related pain, but the exact mechanism of these hormonal effects remains unknown [28]. Given the distribution of TMD in the population, our study opted for a sample consisting primarily of women aged 18 to 40 years.…”

“…Temporomandibular disorders are a group of conditions potentially associated with significant psychological distress, psychosocial impairment and behavioural upset . Notwithstanding, although several studies have reported these associations, an estimate of the prevalence of psychosocial disorders in TMD patients has never been evaluated systematically.…”

“…Investigations have described high levels of psychosocial impairment and a high prevalence of psychological disorders in TMD patient populations . Their presence is related to chronic pain and has important implications at the therapeutic level . Therefore, an assessment of psychosocial factors is a fundamental step during the diagnostic process of TMD patients…”
