Abstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Temporomandibular disorder is considered to be a set of clinical manifestations that affect the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint and adjacent structures, whose signs and symptoms can negatively impact the quality of life of their patients. A population group in which the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder has increased in recent years is that of athletes. The aim of the present study was to conduct an integrative literature review to verify the prevalence of temp… Show more
“…According to Lietz-Kijak et al (8), men with headaches associated with TMD are up to 10% of the general population and women are up to 15%. In scuba divers, TMD's prevalence is close to 20% due to barotrauma (2). The 1990 data published by the American Dental Association said that 44% to 99% of TMJ problems are caused by trauma with a higher risk in contact sports (9).…”

“…Scuba divers are prone to TMD due to tightening and biting, especially when their mask is in a lower position (2). TMD can cause pain with chewing and palpation, pain and fatigue in the TMJ and masticatory muscles, increased masticatory muscle tone, occlusal parafunctions, overgrowth of the masseter, otalgia, tinnitus, aural fullness, vertigo, subjective hearing impairment, crackling or clicking of the TMJ, wear on the teeth from bruxism, headache, tinnitus, and psychological changes (2,4,5,8). TMJ may cause pain with capsulitis, synovitis, meniscal derangement, tendonitis, degenerative joint disease, and infection (6).…”

“…TMDs are complex and should have an interdisciplinary approach so that predisposing and contributing factors can be managed (2)(3)(4)(5)8). Myofascial versus articular disorders of the joint itself should be determined (4).…”

“…Dysfunctions can cause pain in the preauricular area and masticatory muscles, limitations and/or deviations with mandibular movement, noises during chewing, joint edema, or a combination of these. Changes in posture, balance, and physical performance can be seen with changes in lower jaw position due to changes in synchronization of head and jaw muscles with other muscles in the body (2). Postural alterations can lead to hypotonic or hypertonic muscles, cervical spine restrictions, visceral insufficiency, and neuronal irritation (6).…”
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is common in both the general population and athletes with a much higher incidence in women than in men. We review current research on temporomandibular joint disorders, discuss relevant risk factors, manifestations of temporomandibular disorders in athletes, and treatment options. Certain sports, particularly contact sports, pose an increased risk for problems with the temporomandibular joint. The stress of athletic performance also may be a contributing factor. Mouthguards should be encouraged for prevention of injury and physical therapy is the most effective treatment.

Sports activities may induce long-lasting changes in mandibular trajectories. The aim was to compare condylar and mandibular movements in athletes with orofacial injuries with values measured in non-injured athletes. The group of 132 athletes without mandibular injury included asymptomatic athletes with a history of a blow to the right side (N = 43) and the group included asymptomatic athletes with a history of a blow to the left side (N = 41) of the mandible. The injured athletes suffered from stiffness/pain and/or limitation of jaw movements. The symptoms disappeared shortly after the injury. Athletes with a history of injury have smaller mean values of Bennett angle on the side of impact, and Bennett angle on the opposite side is greater than the mean found in non-injured athletes. Significantly smaller Bennett angle values in athletes with a history of a blow to one side of the mandible are due to the adaptability of the orofacial system. The larger Bennett angle on the opposite side of the injury is also due to the adaptive mechanism of the TMJ. Clinical Relevance: An individualized approach to TMJ values is mandatory in restorative procedures in every patient, especially in patients with a history of trauma to the orofacial system.
