“…Participants reported daily gum chewing (86%), lip/object biting (59%), clenching (45%), nail-biting (36%), and grinding (32%). In the study conducted on healthcare students [ 19 ], TMD coexisted with oral parafunctions in 48.6% of examined students. Moreover, the occurrence is significantly correlated with a TMD diagnosis.…”

This study aimed to investigate if intensive exercise affects the stiffness of the masticatory muscles measured with shear-wave elastography. The study included a cohort of healthy adults (n = 40) aged 40 ± 11 years. In each individual, the stiffness of both the masseter and temporalis muscle was examined three times: at baseline, after 10 min of intensive exercise (chewing gum), and after 10 min of relaxation. Stiffness values (median (IQR)) of both the masseter and temporalis muscle were the lowest at the baseline (11.35 (9.7–12.65) and 10.1 (9.1–10.95)), increased significantly after the exercise (12.5 (11.1–13.25) and 10.3 (10.2–10.52)) and then dropped significantly after 10 min of relaxing (11.75 (9.95–12.6) and 10.2 (9.65–11.9)). The stiffness of the temporalis muscle was significantly lower than that of the masseter muscle. The values of the stiffness of the masseters correlated significantly with the values of the stiffness of the temporalis muscles. Shear wave elastography proved to be a sensitive method for showing changes in the stiffness of the muscles involved in the mastication occurring as a response to the effort, which increased the muscle stiffness. Further research is needed to broaden knowledge on the impact of eating habits and the occurrence of parafunctions on the development of temporomandibular disorders and the condition of masticatory muscles.

“…Considering the correlation of 0.505 between FAI and OBC determined in the study conducted by Karabicak and Kanik 19 , it was determined that at least 45 cases should be investigated with 95% confidence (1α), 95.4% test power (1β), and ρ = 0.505 effect size.…”

“…The Turkish version of the 10-question questionnaire of Fonseca, which included factors such as chewing, parafunctional habits, movement limitations, joint noise, and dizziness, was applied to all volunteers and was presented as a low-cost and easy-to-apply alternative to TMD findings. 12,16,19 For each of the ten questions prepared as a three-point Likert scale, "yes, no, and sometimes" answer options were given. Students were asked to mark only one option without any time limitation, with 10 points for each "yes" answer, 5 points for "sometimes," and 0 points for "no" answers.…”

“…1,3,5,[14][15][16][17] It has been reported that the prevalence of TMD shows a wide range between 47-81% in studies conducted on students from the Turkish population, with studies conducted in some of the populations. [15][16][17][18][19] TMD problems have been reported to be on the rise in the adolescent and adult population. 9,20,21 It is known that oral parafunctional behaviors, such as clenching and/or grinding; prolonged nail, lip, cheek, pencil sucking and/or biting; and frequent gum chewing, play an important role in the etiology of TMD.…”

“…22 Therefore, in various studies in the literature, the prevalence and relationship between TMD and oral parafunction were examined. 5,7,16,19 However, it is still needed to determine which oral behaviors caused TMD and further work to examine the relationship between them. 21 TMD problems, which are often encountered in a wide range of ages and different populations, can sometimes be available as an asymptomatic character without the painful finding of patients who consult the physician.…”

Objective: This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and oral parafunctions in dental assistant students and examine the effects of sex and years of education. Materials and Methods: One-hundred five dental assistant students were included in the study. The Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) was used to evaluate the presence of TMD in individuals, and the Oral Habit Checklist (OBC) was used to evaluate oral parafunctions. Results: Sixty-eight individuals (64.8%) had TMD at some level. It was determined that 46 of the females, who constituted the majority of the participants, had mild-TMD, which was significantly different from the males (p<0.001). According to the OBC results, oral parafunctions were associated with TMD, with low-moderate significant correlations (p <0.05). Conclusion: Early diagnosis of temporomandibular joint problems with various questionaries in the university, especially in the young population, is vital in terms of disease prognosis and will prevent future complications.

Aim In this cross‐sectional descriptive study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and oral parafunctions in dental assistant students and to evaluate the effects of gender and education years. Methods The results of 105 individuals (mean age: 20.72 ± 3.51 years; 75 females, 30 males) were analyzed in this descriptive cross‐sectional study, which included student participants who received dental assistant education program from Erciyes University Vocational Health College. The Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) questionnaire was used to define the presence and symptoms of TMD, and the Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC) questionnaire was used to determine the oral parafunctions of individuals. Fisher's exact, Mann–Whitney U, Kendall tau‐b, and Spearman correlation and linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the data. Results Any level of TMD was detected in 64.8% of all individuals included in the study, and most of these patients were women (74.3%). No significant difference was found between the TMD prevalence of the first‐ and second‐grade students based on the years of education of the participants (p = 0.614). Considering the sex and class parameters, statistically significant weak (r = 0.378 for females; r = 0.375 for the first grade) and middle (r = 0.418 for males; r = 0.478 for the second grade) degree positive correlation was determined (p < 0.01) between the OBC and TMD scores for both parameters. Conclusion The prevalence of TMD is higher in dental assistant students, especially females, and this is associated with certain degrees of oral parafunctions.
