“…The division of the patients into main diagnostic groups (Table 2) undoubtedly involves differential diagnostic problems. It is probable, for instance, that the proportion of TMJ osteoarthrosis is too low (Carlsson, 1980). Patients with TMJ clicking only can, by definition, not be expected to have a high dysfunction score.…”

A follow-up study on 154 females was performed approximately 7 years after the start of treatment for TMJ pain dysfunction. At the follow-up the function of the patients' masticatory system had on average greatly improved. The individual variation was great, however. In this paper the influence of such factors as diagnosis, age, general health, occlusal disharmonies, dentition and social environment on the long-term effect of treatment was analysed. Patients with TMJ osteoarthrosis had, on average, no more signs or symptoms of dysfunction at the follow-up than those judged to have had mainly neuromuscular problems. Poor general health was found to have a negative influence both on the immediate response to treatment of TMJ pain dysfunction and on the long-term prognosis. Few correlations were found between occlusal factors and dysfunction. Occlusal interferences showed no correlation to dysfunction at the first examination and at the follow-up were mainly correlated to some reported symptoms. Loss of molars and premolars was correlated to impaired TMJ-function. The patients with repeated periods of treatment (14%) did not differ from the rest with respect to signs and symptoms of dysfunction at the follow-up. In eight patients with extremely long periods of treatment general health problems and/or psychosocial factors were evident.

“…Disorders of the TMJ include osteoarthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and condylar displacement (Carlsson, 1980;Weinberg, 1979b). Osteoarthrosis has been defined as 'a primarily non-infiammatory disease characterized by both deterioration and abrasion of the articular soft tissue surface and by simultaneous remodelling processes in the underlying bone' (Carlsson, 1980, p. 658).…”

“…Crepitus sounds usually occur early in the course of the disease process, and diagnosis is made on the basis of radiography (Weinberg, 1979b). Carlsson (1980) reports that the prevalance of osteoarthrosis in all joints increases with age although the epidemiology of the disease in the TMJ is not known. Schwartz & Cobin (1957) studied 491 TMJ patients and noted that arthritis and neurologic conditions were present in only 8 %.…”

“…In patients seeking treatment for TMJ dysfunction, Kopp & Rockier (1978) found radiographic signs of osteoarthrosis in 20% of those examined. In relation to these studies, Carlsson (1980) feels that there may have been many more cases of undiagnosed incipient osteoarthrosis since the disease had not progressed to the point allowing a diagnosis to be made radiographically.…”

“…In contrast to osteoarthrosis, the pathologic process erodes from the periphery toward the centre and is usually bilateral. Other joints of the body are usually affected first (Weinberg, 1979b) and only rarely is the TMJ the first site to be affected (Carlsson, 1980). Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is often difficult since erosive changes are usually not visible radiologically during the first year of the disease (Carlsson, 1980).…”

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome and myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome: a critical review

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction syndrome and myofascial pain dysfunction (MPD) syndrome have been primarily viewed as dental problems and have only recently received close attention by psychologists. The literature reviewed in the present paper reveals that a substantial portion of the population is affected by these disorders. There is, however, a great deal of confusion that exists in relation to the aetiology and treatment of these syndromes. In an attempt to clarify the current understanding of these disorders, the present review first presents a discussion of the symptoms which comprise each of these syndromes and the proposed physiological mechanisms associated with each symptom. Next, the aetiological theories for each of these syndromes are reviewed and critically evaluated. Treatments which have been derived from the theoretical models are then discussed. Finally, methodological considerations involving classification, assessment and treatment issues are presented and future research needs are outlined.
