“…In the present study, TMJ sound (clicking or crepitus) (10%) was the most common symptom which is slightly higher to the findings in the study done by Rani et al [3] and Gopal et al [18] These were followed by pain (3%) and fatigue in TMJ (2%). The results are in accordance to the study done by Rani et al [3] and Hegde et al [19] Clinical examination reveals limited mouth opening in most affected students (9%) followed by locking of mandible (2%), jaw deviation (3%), and reduced mandibular movements (2%) of TMJ.…”

“…[3][4] Mild symptoms (13%) found in our study were more frequent than severe symptoms (1%), this finding is consistent with other studies in the literature. [3,[17][18][19] According to dysfunction component, 84% students were found to have no dysfunction, 15% students were having mild dysfunction, and only 2 % students were having moderate dysfunction, whereas not a single student was having severe dysfunction. In our study, mild dysfunction symptoms were found in 15 % of cases which was higher to the study done by Rani et al [3] The Helkimo index has been applied in a number of studies and it has been claimed that it is a good indicator of the severity of TMJ dysfunction.…”

“…These lead to muscular overuse, fatigue and spasm, and subsequently pain. [ 4 ] Many symptoms may not have manifestations related to TMJ itself, for example, headache, earache, sounds, etc., In the present study, TMJ sound (clicking or crepitus) (7%) was the most common problem which was in accordance with the study done by Gopal et al . [ 7 ] Although the methods and criteria for recording joint sounds differ in the various reports apart from natural fluctuations, they are the possible reasons for the wide range of joint sounds.…”

“…The most frequent symptoms of TMD are sound in the area of the TMJ,[ 4 ] a sensation of fatigue in the jaw area, a sensation of stiffness of the jaw upon waking up or when opening the mouth, luxation or locking of the mandible when opening the mouth, pain when opening the mouth, and pain in the region of the TMJ or in the area of the masticatory muscles.

Aim and Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) by the use of Helkimo's index (anamnestic [Ai] and clinical dysfunction [Di] component) in the nonpatient population (dental students) of Faridabad college.Settings and Design:A questionnaire-based survey was carried out among students of dental college for signs and symptoms of TMD and also clinical examination was done. The results were scored and according to scoring severity of TMD were assessed in the specified population.Materials and Methods:About 580 students were assessed for TMD by the use of Helkimo's index (Ai and Di component). Descriptive statistical analysis was done.Results:Among the study group, 15% were found to have TMDs. Out of the affected students, 79% females and 21% males were having symptoms. Out of the signs and symptoms present, 7% students were found to have sound in temporomandibular joint followed by pain in 3% and fatigue in 2% of students. On clinical examination, limited mouth opening was found in 6% students followed by locked mandible in 1%, deviation of jaw in 0.6%, and jaw rigidity of mandible in 0.6% of individual.Conclusion:To summarize, Helkimo index is a well-founded index to assess TMD in a specified population. Signs and symptoms of TMD were present among students although low prevalence of TMD was found in the students.

“…Problems in the upper neck and shoulder region can produce Temporomandibular Dysfunction. Less frequently TMJ problems can lead to neck and shoulder pain and/or dysfunction [7]. The Temporomandibular region is often overlooked during examinations for facial pain, unless conducted by a dentist/dental specialist, and/ or oral surgeon.…”

Pregnancy is a happy stage in life of every woman, but at the same time it is a rather diffi cult period, since pregnancy represents a serious strain on the body. In the body of a woman during this period there are signifi cant physiological changes that ensure the correct development of the fetus, prepare the body for the upcoming delivery. In this diffi cult period, the burden on all organs and systems of the woman's body is signifi cantly increased. Especially often suffer joints; there is a risk of permanent pain, the development of diseases or exacerbation of existing diseases. One of the most common problems is Temporomandibular Dysfunction or Disorder (TMD) which many women face, but still hasn't been explained. Review ReviewOften the term TMJ is being used instead of TMD. In actuality, using the phrase "You have TMJ" is inaccurate. TMJ is neither a disease nor syndrome. It is the joint in front of your ear that allows the jaw to move. TMJ=Temporomandibular Joint TMD=Temporomandibular Dysfunction or DisorderThe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is formed by the articulation of the mandible and the temporal bone of the cranium. It is located anteriorly to the tragus of the ear, on the lateral aspect of the face. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. You have one joint on each side of your jaw [1]. TMJ disorders-a type of temporomandibular disorder or TMD-can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement (Figure 1).TMD is a failure of coordinated joint activity due to impaired occlusion of teeth, the location of the TMJ and muscle function. Occurs in 25-30% of the population, in women 3-5 times more often than men. The peak incidence falls on the age of 20-40 years which is the reproductive period for women. The pathophysiology of TMD is the
