Temporomandibular disorders, voice and oral quality of life in women

Abstract

Some studies have shown a relationship between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and dysphonia, as well as quality of life in oral health. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between severity of vocal self-perception and TMD severity and the correlation between oral health-related quality of life impairment and TMD severity. Material and methods: Thirty-three women aged 20 to 40 years, with or without complaint of dysphonia, were recruited at the Bauru campus of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and the local community. All participants were subjected to an investigation of quality of life related to dental and speech aspects by the application of Oral Health Impact Profile-short form (OHIP-14) and the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) protocol. Also, a questionnaire was applied to detect the presence and severity of TMD. Results: There was significant correlation between TMD and quality of life for all aspects analyzed in the oral health protocol, except for function and physical limitation (p>0.05). There was negative correlation between TMD and voice-related quality of life in the total score (p=0.007) as weel as physical (p=0.008) and socio-emotional aspects (p=0.017). In addition, there was statistically significant correlation between TMD and vocal self-perception (p=0.037). Conclusion: There is an association between TMD severity, voice-related and oral health-related quality of life. It is important to investigate in future studies the vocal self perception as well as the oral and voice conditions in patients with TMD.

Oral Health- Related Quality of Life Assessed in Adults: Integrative Review

“…Surge como instrumento único de avaliação em 13 estudos: na Jordânia (Al Habashneh et al, 2012); no Brasil (Pereira et al, 2009); Japão (Inukai et al,2010); na China (Zheng et al, 2011); no Irão (Motallebnejad et al, 2011); Finlândia (Miettinen et al, 2012;Rusanen et al, 2012;Silvola et al, 2012); Espanha (Gil-Montoya et al, 2013;Montero et al, 2009;Perea et al, 2013); Nova Zelândia (Thomson et al, 2006) e com indivíduos croatas e eslovenos (RenerSitar et al, 2008). É utilizado em simultâneo com outro instrumento numestudo desenvolvido noCanadá por Locker e Gibson (2005).…”

“…Destaca-se a utilização da variável referente à presença ou número de dentes naturais presente em 10 estudos (Gil-Montoya et al, 2013;Hsu et al, 2014;Inukai et al, 2010;Locker & Gibson, 2005;Montero et al, 2008;Motallebnejad et al, 2011;Perea et al, 2013;Pistorius et al, 2013;Wright, 2009;Thomson et al, 2006;); a presença de dentes deteriorados (cariados), perdidos ou obturados e doenças periodontais em 4 estudos (Montero et al, 2008;Montero et al, 2009;Motallebnejad et al, 2011;Thomson et al, 2006); a má oclusão avaliada em 4 estudos (Hsu et al, 2014;Rusanen et al, 2012;Sardenberg et al, 2011;Silvola et al,2012); a utilização de próteses dentárias em 3 estudos (Montero et al, 2008;Perea et al, 2013;Pistorius et al, 2013;Wright et al, 2009); a xerostomia em 2 estudos (Perea et al, 2013;Thomson et al, 2006); a dor facial em 2 estudos Zheng et al, 2011); as disfunções temporomandibulares em 3 estudos (Miettinen et al, 2012;Pereira et al, 2009;Rusanen et al, 2012) e a dor de dentes em apenas 1 estudo (Rener-Sitar et al, 2008).…”

An unusual case of post-anaesthesia voice loss

“…There is evidence that TMJ disorder and/ or dysfunction (TMD) affects voice-related quality-of-life, especially vocal self-perception. Also, any chronic TMD, as in our case, induces cranio-skeletal malalignment and asymmetrical stress patterns, which further complicates the voice-loss issue [1,2].…”

Also, any chronic TMD, as in our case, induces cranio-skeletal malalignment and asymmetrical stress patterns, which further complicates the voice-loss issue [1,2].To conclude, for voice dysfunction after contentious TMJ surgery, the anesthesiologist must always collate-andconsider specific information on preoperative voice profile (generation, pitch) and peri-surgical factors (masseter spasm, TMJ dislocation) to arrive at a precise diagnosis, take corrective action, and avoid responses that have their own set of problems.Conflict of interest None.

Sinais e sintomas da disfunção autônoma em professores

“…Although voice is the teacher's work instrument, the health-disease process related to voice is still little understood by this professional, having as consequence little perception of its own self-evaluation and its voice disturbs 6,19-21 . There is a correlation between voice self-perception and temporomandibularjoint dysfunction (TJD) in women, considering that as severe the TJD, higher the vocal disturb perception 25 . The symptoms related to voice presented by the vocal complaint group showed that teachers of the present research may be susceptible to develop voice disturbances and autonomic dysfunction.…”
