“…Some studies oppose this result done by (Yadav et al,and Mathew et al), in their studies they say that the old age group is more prone to TMJ disorder as their bone becomes weak they also say there is no any exact reason found behind TMJ disorder. 20,21 Out of 61 patients, 32 were males and 27 females patients in figure 2.In a study done by (H et al, and Charizopoulos et al,) state that the male are more prevalence to TMD disorder which is similar to this study 22,23 ,some studies done by (Bagis et al and Wizel et al) stated that females are more prevalent than the male due to nutrition differences and many other factors 24,25 . This hold true as male are more prone to TMD disorder as they have habit and more prone to trauma.There are different types of TMD disorder like degenerative disorder, disc condyle disorder and MPDS among them the more prevalence we observe the disc condyle disorder types(61.02%) followed by MPDS (35.59%) as shown in figure 3.…”

Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder commonly called "TMJ '' disorder, are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscle that control the jaw movement. The general and clinical consequences of discomfort, pain and disturbance of mastication are similar in most patients. TMD can be caused by injury to the jaw, TMJ or muscles on head and neck, such as from a heavy blow. Other causes includes: Grinding or clenching the teeth (puts a lot of pressure on TMJ), dislocation of the soft cushion or disc between the ball and socket, presence of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the TMJ, stress which can cause a person to tighten muscles in the face and jaw as to clench the teeth. Some symptoms of TMD are like -Pain and tenderness, clicking, popping or limited jaw opening or there will be swelling on the side of the face.Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of TMJ disorder attending private dental colleges in Chennai. Case sheet of all the patients reporting to the OPD of Saveetha Dental College with TMJ problems.The study was conducted between June 2019-March 2020. This university setting study a sample of 61pateints.Data tabulated with parameters of age, gender and TMD types Microsoft excel 2016 (microsoft office 10) was used to collect data and later was imported to spss software for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics having frequency, percentage and chi-square test done for association.The prevalence of TMD Temporomandibular joint disorder was found to be more among males than females. Among the age groups of 11-25 years, 26-40 years and above 40 years, TMJ disorder was more prevalent between 26-40 years age group (64.41%). Prevalence of TMD Degenerative disorder, Disc condyle disorder and MPDS among them Disc condyle is more common(61.02%) as compared to others. The association between age and TMD was found to be statistically highly significant using chisquare test (p<0.001).Within the limit of this study,male were more affected and the disc condyle disorder was more common among study participants in the age group between 26-40 year.

“…As in other studies, disc displacements showed a significantly higher prevalence in females 8‐9,36,37 . However, studies such as Foucart et al 38 , Larheim et al 26 and Crusoé‐Rebello et al 39 do not reflect gender difference in disc displacement prevalence.…”

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is part of the craniofacial complex and is made up of a large number of structures and elements, making its operation complex, so that small alterations can cause a wide variety of functional problems. 1. These problems are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD), a generic term covering a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that affect the TMJ, the masticatory muscles and all associated tissues. 2,3 AbstractTemporomandibular joint disc displacement is common in the world's population and could be associated with bone and functional characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. The aim of these study was to analyse the association between temporomandibular joint disc position evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the inclination of the mandibular condyle evaluated by computed tomography (CT).One hundred and seventy temporomandibular joints (TMJ) were retrospectively analysed. The temporomandibular disc position was evaluated by MRI and classified into three types: normal (N), disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) and disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR). The mandibular condyle measurements evaluated by CT included horizontal, sagittal and coronal inclination. ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey's test was used to evaluate the interaction between condylar inclination and disc position. There was an association between disc position and the horizontal and sagittal condylar inclination (P < .05). There are statistically significant differences in the mean of horizontal and sagittal inclination of the mandibular condyle between the DDWoR and the other disc positions (P = .002 and P = .004). Disc position was not statistical associated with coronal inclination of condyle (P > .05). These results indicate that the inclination of the mandibular condyle may be different in TMJ with various disc position. A more medial horizontal inclination and a more posterior sagittal inclination of the mandibular condyle are associated with DDWoR. K E Y W O R D Scomputed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, mandibular condyle, temporomandibular joint, temporomandibular joint disc |The TMD are a major health problem, affecting more than 50% of the world's population at some point in their lives and usually occurs in children, youth and adults of all ages and gender. 4,5 TMD can be classified into two major categories: temporomandibular joint disorders and masticatory muscle disorders. 2,3 Among the disorders of the TMJ are the alterations of the intra-articular mobility and the disorders of the disc-condyle complex. 2,6 Disorders of the disc-condyle complex consist of an abnormal position of the articular disc with respect to the mandibular condyle and the articular eminence. [7][8][9] Abnormal disc position or disc displacement has often been diagnosed in patients of diverse populations and can occur even in the growing population and is considered to be a condition that may worsen over time. 10,11 It has been observed that disc displacement of the TMJ is ab...

“…It has additionally been demonstrated that TMD changes over time, and no reasonable denouement has been arrived yet about its natural progression or about the factors contributing to the evolution of TMD. In addition, the quantity of individuals who see subjective manifestations or signs of TMD is more than the quantity of individuals looking for treatment, and females will probably look for treatment than male partners [6,7] . There are some controversial issues such as over closure of the jaws in persons with natural dentition which can predispose to TMD whereas long-standing edentulous span individuals without dentures rarely develop TMDs despite over closure.…”

To determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients wearing complete denture (CD). Material and Methods: This study was carried out SGRD Institute of Dental Sciences & Research, Amritsar, India. 100 completely edentulous patients in the age group of 22-74 years who did not complain of any TMD and were denture bearers with a varied denture wearing span, were examined for the existence of TMD signs and symptoms were included in the study. Results: Out of total 100 subjects examined, majority of the patients that is 28% fell in the age group of 50-60 years, followed by 40-50 years 22%. There was no statistically significant association between different genders and age. The distribution of patients with or without TMD, 61.67% males out of the total male subjects and 65% females out of total female subjects showed the presence of signs. The difference was found to be statistically insignificant. 42% of the subjects had 1-3 years of edentulous span followed by 32% with more than 5 years of edentulous span and 26% of the subjects showed 3-5 years of edentulous span. 34 % of the subjects showed limited mouth opening as a sign of TMD followed by jaw deviation which is shown by 27(27%) of the subjects. Conclusion:The most common finding was limited mouth opening while crepitus and clicking were least encountered.
