Description of population and progress of symptoms in a longitudinal study of temporomandibular arthropathy

Abstract: – The progress of symptoms in‐termporomandibular arthropathy can be divided into six phases. Phases 1 and 2 make up an initial stage of clicking and locking, Phase 3 and 4 an intermediare stage of temporomandibular joint pain and constriction, and Phases 5 and 6 make up a terminal stage of crepitation and constriction followed by freedom from symptoms. The abrupt replacement of clicking and locking by pain and constriction is highly characteristic and may be considered the true debut of arthropathy. During th… Show more

“…Symptoms related to temporomandibular dysfunction decrease with age and are often remitting and self-limiting. [13][14][15][16] Kurita, et al 10 suggested that the presence of TMJ pain on mandibular movement is not a reliable predictor of osteoarthritis of the TMJ. Mechanical and chemical stimuli are proposed as possible causes of pain in and around the osteoarthritic joint.…”

“…3 Others have suggested that minor dysfunction may progress to more serious joint disease. 5,6 The American Academy of Orofacial Pain has estimated that between 40% and 75% of the U.S. population displays at least one sign of TMD, while 33% report at least one symptom. 6 In addition, the 2002 U.S. National Health Institute Survey (NHIS) of 31,000 individuals found an overall prevalence of TMJ and muscle-disordertype pain of 4.6% (6.3% in women, 2.8% in men).…”

“…These disorders were classically described as a longitudinal progression from normal disc position to DD with reduction (DDwR) to DD without reduction (DDw/oR) to DJD (Rasmussen 1981;Wilkes 1989). However, the longitudinal course of TMJ DD and DJD has never been conclusively described with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for soft tissue diagnoses and computed tomography (CT) for hard tissue diagnoses.…”
