“…When approached for the study, 36 declined to participate and 1,546 did not respond, leaving a final sample at 1,372 subjects (46%). Detailed information about self‐reported prevalence of the conditions is reported elsewhere (Oghli, List, John, & Larsson, ). The inclusion period was from October 2009 to January 2010, during which subjects received a total of three reminders.…”

Objectives For jaw functional limitations measured by the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS), (a) determining prevalence in the Swedish general adult population, (b) investigating the influence of demographic factors and self‐reported dental status and (c) deriving normative values. Methods A random sample of the general adult population in Sweden was approached (response rate: 46%, N = 1,372). Prevalence was determined for the JFLS summary score and individual items. The influence of age, gender and dental status was investigated with regression analyses and normative values presented. Results The JFLS median score was 0, and all items had prevalences ≤30%. Age and gender did not influence jaw functional limitations but dental status did. Normative JFLS scores were 1, 9 and 28 for the 7th, 8th and 9th deciles, respectively. In dental status‐stratified norms, 9th deciles were 20, 43 and 100, for subjects with natural teeth only, removable and complete dentures, respectively. Conclusions The Swedish general adult population had excellent jaw function, but dental status was major determinant. In the absence of information linking JFLS scores to important patient concerns, the score distribution can serve as a reference with the 9th decile as threshold for functional limitation.

“…During postnatal development, from suckling to chewing, the masticatory apparatus undergoes a fundamental conversion in function (Herring, ; Oghli, List, John, & Larsson, ). A decrease in muscle‐fiber to muscle‐length in different parts of the masseter muscle is observed during its development (Herring & Wineski, ; Nam, Kim, & Kho, ; Weijs, Brugman, & Kiock, ).…”

The masticatory muscles achieve a broad range of different activities such as chewing, sucking, swallowing, and speech. In order to accomplish these duties, masticatory muscles have a unique and heterogeneous structure and fiber composition, enabling them to produce their strength and contraction speed largely dependent on their motor units and myosin proteins that can change in response to genetic and environmental factors. Human masticatory muscles express unique myosin isoforms, including a combination of thick fibers, expressing myosin light chains (MyLC) and myosin class I and II heavy chains (MyHC) -IIA, -IIX, α-cardiac, embryonic and neonatal and thin fibers, respectively. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge regarding the importance of fiber-type diversity in masticatory muscles versus supra- and infrahyoid muscles, and versus limb and trunk muscles. We also highlight new information regarding the adaptive response and specific genetic variations of muscle fibers on the functional significance of the masticatory muscles, which influences craniofacial characteristics, malocclusions, or asymmetry. These findings may offer future possibilities for the prevention of craniofacial growth disturbances.

“…For example, with the increase in neglect among elders, this environmental factor may change SOC among the elders overtime (Petti, ). Moreover, it was not possible to examine the influence of other oral and systemic comorbidities frequently found in elderly individuals that may be associated with QoL, TMD, and SOC (Oghli, List, John, & Larsson, ). Nonetheless, in a context in which little is known about the role of SOC in the individual perception of TMD on OHRQoL and QoL, our findings contribute as an initial step to the understanding of this relationship.…”

Sense of Coherence mediates the association between temporomandibular disorders and quality of life

et al. 2019

Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether sense of coherence (SOC) mediates the association between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) and general quality of life (QoL) in Brazilian elders. Methods Informations on sociodemographic, psychological, and presence or absence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) were collected by trained dentists among non‐institutionalized elders (n = 110). OHRQoL was measured with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP‐14) and QoL using the WHOQOL‐BREF. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to estimate the standardized direct effect of TMD on OHRQoL and on QoL, and the indirect effect mediated by SOC. Results Temporomandibular disorders had no direct effect on OHRQoL (coef. −0.10), whereas indirect effect mediated by SOC was noted (coef. 0.35). Regarding QoL, the indirect effect of TMD, mediated by SOC, on QoL (coef. 0.58) was higher than the direct effect (coef. 0.34). Conclusion Sense of coherence mediated the effect of TMD on oral and general quality of life among elders.

Prevalence and oral health‐related quality of life of self‐reported orofacial conditions in Sweden

Abstract: Orofacial conditions were common and often coexist. The comorbidity group experienced the highest impact on oral health-related quality of life: the more the comorbid conditions, the greater the negative impact.
