“…Nerve endings in the area are Ruffini, Paccini, and free nerve endings responsible for pressure and pain. If noxious stimuli and nociception affect the auriculo‐temporal nerve due to retral CD and/or microtrauma, then various aspects of auriculo–temporal neural interactions could be affected, leading to an array of disorders (Demerjian, Barkhordarian, and Chiappelli 2018 ; Barkhordarian, Chiappelli, and Demerjian 2018 ). The pathogenesis of migraine is widely believed to involve peripheral and central activation of the trigeminovascular system.…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate possible differences of functional occlusal variables between a group of migraine patients (MG) and a control group (CG).Materials and MethodsEach group included 50 individuals. Instrumental functional analysis and digital occlusal analysis were performed. Variables examined were condylar displacement from a reference position to maximum intercuspation; angular difference between the steepness of the articular eminence and the contra‐lateral canine guidance; and angular difference between the steepness of the articular eminence and the ipsilateral central incisor guidance and occlusal plane inclination. Self‐reported grinding and occlusal index were also investigated.ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in the extent of retral condylar displacement assessed both clinically [MG: 0.49 mm (SD 0.67 mm), CG: 0.29 mm (SD 0.27 mm), p = 0.012] and digital‐mechanically [MG: 1.53 mm (SD 0.95 mm), CG: 0.9 mm (SD 0.66 mm), p = 0.001], the angular difference between the steepness of the articular eminence and the contra‐lateral canine guidance [MG: 13.11° (SD 8.33°), CG: 9.47° (SD 7.08°), p = 0.021 and MG: 12.94° (SD 8.71°), CG: 9.44° (SD 8.70°), p = 0.017], and the occlusal plane inclination [MG: 11.16° (SD 4.66°), CG: 9.09° (SD 4.37°), p = 0.024]. Self‐reported grinding (MG: 39/50, CG: 12/50, p < 0.001) and occlusal index [MG: 1.92 (SD 0.46), CG: 0.21 (SD 0.66), p < 0.001] were also significantly higher in migraineurs.ConclusionsArticular and occlusal structures could play a role in migraine and thus should be considered in an interdisciplinary approach.

“…Nerves innervating the cervical region are interconnected with those serving the stomatognathic apparatus. For instance, the trigeminal nerve, responsible for sensory innervation of the face and jaw, may have interconnections with cervical nerves, contributing to neurological communication between the two regions [10][11][12].…”

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study were to compare the cervical ROM data obtained from accelerometer exams between patients suffering from TMDs (study group) and healthy patients (control group). Material and Methods: A sample of 43 young adult subjects (23 control subjects and 20 TMD patients) were included in this study and analyzed with the accelerometer (Baiobit™, BTS, Garbagnate Milanese, Milan, Italy) to assess cervical ROM using a standardized protocol, including the following occlusal conditions: mandibular rest position, clenching, clenching with cotton rolls, maximal intercuspation, and mandibular position with cotton rolls. The cervical ROM was measured in degrees and expressed as the mean and standard deviation. Results: TMD patients showed a reduced cervical extension compared to control subjects in all the conditions, with statistically significant relevance. Regarding the other movements, the differences were not statistically or clinically significant. Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study, it can be observed that temporomandibular disorders are associated with a decreased cervical extension range, while the remaining components of ROM do not seem to be significantly associated. The use of accelerometers in ROM analysis could be helpful in improving interdisciplinary communication between dentists and physiotherapists.
