“…Several research and clinical diagnostic criteria were introduced have been used to diagnose the TMDs including: Helkimo index (HI) -in 11.7% research studies, criteria (RDC/ TMD) for TMDs; 23.5%, craniomandibular index (CMI) 58.8%, anamnesis questionnaires 35.2% [4], and Fonseca's anamnesis index (FAI) [5]. It has been report that prevalence of TMDs ranged from 20% to 50 % [6], but those who seek treatments accounts about 2-7% [7], the most affected age group varied between 20 years to 40 years with female predilection.…”

“…Over a 20-year period, investigations on TMD have revealed predominately mild signs and symptoms already present in childhood. An increase in symptoms occurs until young adulthood, after which they level out [4,13]. The concept of TMD may be attributable to specifi c genes that are inheritable.…”

“…The frequency of severe disorders that are accompanied by headache and facial pain characterized by urgent need of treatment is 1% -2% in children, about 5% in adolescents and 5% -12% in adults [16] . A non-patient population has been reported prevalence rates vary broadly (from 26% to 50%) [17].…”

“…This makes epidemiological surveys and treatment follow-up by using this index is more feasible. An additional advantage is that a self-applied questionnaire would provide a severity index with less infl uence from the examiner and less variability in the measures [5,11,17].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence of temporomandibular Joint disorders (TMDs), among dental university student in Yemen. Material and methods:A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine and Oral Diagnosis, Faculty of Dentistry, Thamar University, Yemen. Study sample consisted of 207 university students (114 males and 93 females). Predictor's variables were age, gender and marital status. The outcomes variables were the signs and symptoms of TMDs using the Helkimo clinical dysfunction (Di) and anamnestic (Ai) indices. Results:The results revealed that prevalence of TMDs among Yemeni dental students was 41.07 % (mild: 14.01%, sever: 27.05%). In the clinical examination, 49.76 % (mild: 20.77%, moderate; 12.08% and sever; 16.91%) showed some degree of dysfunction. Females showed a signifi cant higher prevalence of TMDs than males. There was signifi cant association between the dysfunction of TMD and gender (P > 0.005). Conclusion:The result of this study showed that prevalence of TMDs among Yemeni dental students was higher than some studies have reported in the literature. Also, the results revealed that majority of studied sample were not aware of the presence of their TMD

Orthopedic clinicians frequently encounter patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and associated sleep disordered breathing (SDB) that coexists with the patient's orthopedic conditions. The systemic effects and associated comorbidities caused by TMJ and associated SDB are commonly not recognized as potential contributors to the patient's long-term orthopedic outcome. This article describes a comprehensive and interdisciplinary medical dental treatment, which was able to successfully address patient's severe chronic TMJ, head, neck and shoulder pain as well as other health concerns including SDB. Moreover, a new teledontic and telegnathic treatment protocol and principles utilizing total joint replacement for care of patients with chronic TMJ pain and SDB will be introduced describing a completed case.

Purpose This article will review the etiology, risk factors, history, and physical assessment of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). In particular, this article discusses the role of the pediatric provider in diagnosing and beginning the initial treatment of TMDs, as well as the appropriate treatment plans. It also reveals some of the controversies regarding etiology and treatment of TMDs, as well as the paucity of research specific to TMDs in pediatrics. Data sources A computerized search in PubMed and Ovid Medline, from 2006 to 2012, was conducted. A few seminal articles were included that were published before 2006. Hand searching was also performed, which included a few articles between 2012 and 2015. Conclusions Although TMDs are mostly found in adults, it is also a finding in pediatrics, which increases in prevalence during adolescence. More research specific to pediatric patients with TMDs needs to be conducted so that pediatric‐specific care can be provided. Implications for practice TMD is a condition found in the pediatric population, and it is important for providers to take an adequate history and physical examination that incorporates the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and muscles of mastication. It is also critical that providers begin initial education and management, followed by appropriate referrals.
