“…Although excessive loading may stress the masticatory muscles, in this study the association between excessive overjet and TMD was not significant in the multiple regression analysis. In a bivariate analysis, TMD symptoms have a statistically significant relationship with excessive overjet as well as myofascial pain and disc displacement with reduction.…”

“…The relation between Angle molar relationship and TMD is controversial on the literature. Thilander (2002) evaluated 4724 children and adolescents (5‐17 years old) and Bilgiç (2017) examined 923 children (7‐12 years old) found a significant association between Class III and TMD. Other authors found no evidence of this relationship .…”

“…We observed a strong positive association between Class III malocclusion and TMD. Class III malocclusion can be an important role in the deviation of the temporomandibular joint components and also on the masticatory muscle tenderness …”

“…TMDs were associated most commonly with posterior crossbite, anterior open bite, Angle Class II and III malocclusions, and maxillary overjet. [27] Although this was not statistically significant, further investigations can divulge conclusive information on the presence or absence of a relationship between TMDs and orthodontic therapy. The other factors that were added into the questionnaire included trauma to chin or jaw and previous history of treatment for TMDs.…”

“…Twenty-six percent of the students reported the presence of different symptoms of TMDs. A study by Bilgiç and Gelgör[27] revealed that in children aged between 7 and 12 years many subjects with TMD had malocclusions. TMDs were associated most commonly with posterior crossbite, anterior open bite, Angle Class II and III malocclusions, and maxillary overjet.…”

Aim:The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) among university students.Objectives:The etiology of TMD is of multifactorial, and our study is designed to assess the prevalence of TMD in an institution within a university. Various parameters including trauma, malocclusion, stress assessment - its correlation with the timing, the duration of TMD in meeting the deadlines, and examinations have been assessed.Materials and Methods:A standard questionnaire-based study with modified Fonseca anamnestic index is used. The questionnaire study was conducted with a statistically calculated sample size of 402 students within a university. The data were analyzed statistically for significance and correlations. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows release 14.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Differences at the 5% level were accepted as being statistically significant.Results:TMD and its associated symptoms are frequent among students of health and science studies. Female predominance is seen. There was also an increased prevalence of symptoms in people who described themselves as being tense. The relationship between orthodontic therapy and TMDs were also evaluated, and the duration of therapy is found to be significant. There was a significant association between history of trauma and presence of TMDs.Conclusions:TMD and its associated symptoms are frequent among students of health and science studies. A simple anamnestic index is of use in identifying and classifying temporomandibular joint and TMD symptoms in patients according to the severity of the disorder. Females showed a greater prevalence of signs and symptoms of TMD than males. Longitudinal studies are recommended to identify and follow-up the prevalence and health-care needs of patients with TMDs.

Background Understanding symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) can help doctors and patients document, monitor, and manage the disease and help researchers evaluate interventions. Patients with TMDs experience symptoms ranging from mild to severe, primarily in the head and neck region. This study describes findings from formative patient focus groups to capture, categorize, and prioritize symptoms of TMDs towards the development of a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). Methods We conducted ten focus groups with 40 men and women with mild, moderate, and severe TMD. Focus groups elicited descriptions of symptoms and asked participants to review a list of existing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from the literature and patient advisor input and speak to how those PROs reflect their own experience, including rating their importance. Results We identified 52 distinct concepts across six domains: somatic, physical, social, sexual, affective, and sleep. Focus groups identified the ability to chew and eat; clicking, popping, and other jaw noises; jaw pain and headaches; jaw misalignment or dislocation; grinding, clenching, or chewing, including at night; and ear sensations as most important. Participants with severe TMDs more often reported affective concepts like depression and shame than did participants with mild or moderate TMDs. Conclusion Findings support PROM item development for TMDs, including selecting existing PROMs or developing new ones that reflect patients’ lived experiences, priorities, and preferred terminology. Such measures are needed to increase understanding of TMDs, promote accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, and help advance research on TMDs.
