Abstract:Objective: To assess the frequency and severity of the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), the frequency of parafunctional oral habits and the correlation between the variables by means of the patients' perception regarding their problem.
Methods:One hundred patients diagnosed with TMD, through a clinical examination of their masticatory system, answered the questions of a previously published protocol concerning the signs and symptoms most frequently reported in the literature.Results: Ac… Show more
“…Moreover, some studies have reported that the amount, frequency, intensity and duration of habits can determine the severity of signs and symptoms of TMD. 10 The prevalence of oral parafunctions in children ranges from 7% to 15.1%, 11 with girls reporting higher frequencies. 12 Frequently encountered oral parafunctions in children are bruxism, nail biting and non-nutritive sucking, 13 and the persistence of these activities might have detrimental effects on the oro-facial structures.…”

“…It is believed that oral habits can be considered as an important aetiologic factor of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), as they lead to a traumatic dental occlusion that may affect the teeth and the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, causing the disruption of the functional balance of the stomatognathic system, or worsening the already present TMD. Moreover, some studies have reported that the amount, frequency, intensity and duration of habits can determine the severity of signs and symptoms of TMD .

Background
The prevalence of malocclusion, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and oral parafunctions is highly debated in children population.
Objectives
To investigate the prevalence of malocclusion, self‐reported oral parafunctions and TMD‐pain in Italian schoolchildren and to assess the association between the examined factors.
Methods
A total of 700 children aged 9‐11 years were selected among six public schools in Campania region (Italy). Molar relationship, overjet, overbite and cross‐bite were assessed through a clinical examination. Furthermore, the subjects were demanded to fill in a validated questionnaire for TMD‐pain screening and the short form of the Oral Behaviours Checklist. Descriptive statistics were used to report the frequencies. The associations between occlusal traits, oral parafunctions and TMD‐pain were analysed with a Pearson chi‐square test, as expressed by odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. The significance level was set at P < 0.05.
Results
Molar Class I was the most frequently encountered molar relationship, followed by molar Class II, subdivision and molar Class III. Increased overjet was more common than negative overjet. Posterior cross‐bite was observed in 12% of children. TMD‐pain was recorded in 14.7% of subjects. High frequency of oral parafunctions was reported in 21.3% of subjects. A significant association was found between TMD‐pain and negative overbite. Cross‐bite and high frequency of oral parafunctions were associated with TMD‐pain.
Conclusion
The current results show that malocclusion, self‐reported oral parafunctions and TMD‐pain are frequent findings among Italian schoolchildren and that some occlusal factors and high frequency of oral parafunctions might be associated with TMD‐pain.

“…Segundo a literatura, a DTM é uma patologia comum, cujos sinais e sintomas clínicos e subclínicos chegam a afetar em torno de 50% da população geral, sendo mais prevalente em mulheres, entre as idades de 20 e 40 anos (Cordeiro & Guimarães, 2012;Dugashvili et al, 2013;Oliveira et al, 2012). Os estudos demonstram que a DTM está relacionada a fatores psicológicos, emocionais, fi siopatológicos e comportamentais (Melchior et al, 2012;Sydney & Conti, 2011). No entanto, não existe consenso entre os pesquisadores acerca da etiologia exata da DTM.…”

“…A intensidade da dor referida pelos indivíduos com DTM e mensurada com base em uma escala de autorrelato constatou média total de 5,75 pontos, de acordo com a Tabela 2. Dessa forma, verifi ca-se que a intensidade da dor apresentou-se em nível moderado, o que pode estar relacionado à procura por atendimento odontológico (Conti et al, 2012;Melchior et al, 2012;Oliveira et al, 2012;Rollman et al, 2013).

A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) constitui uma patologia orofacial relacionada a aspectos articulares, da musculatura, ou a ambos, da articulação temporomandibular (ATM), sendo a dor um dos seus principais sintomas. Muitos dos pacientes respondem de maneira adequada aos tratamentos odontológicos convencionais, mas em muitos casos de DTM o tratamento odontológico, isoladamente, não é efi caz, sendo necessário acompanhamento psicológico para trabalhar as questões da dor. A dor compreende uma vivência que pode ser infl uenciada por eventos negativos da infância e pelos esquemas iniciais desadaptativos (EIDs), que compreendem estruturas cognitivas mais rígidas e infl exíveis associadas às psicopatologias. Objetivou-se identifi car sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e os EIDs numa amostra de pacientes odontológicos com sintomas de DTM. Participaram 40 pacientes odontológicos, 20 com e 20 sem DTM que responderam ao questionário sociodemográfi co,
AimDetermining the occurrence of oral parafunctional behaviors is essential for the clinical management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). For this reason, the evaluation of parafunctional behaviors in patients with TMDs is highly important.MethodsThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Oral Behaviours Checklist (OBC‐T) in patients with TMDs. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire, it was applied in 142 patients with TMDs twice at a 2‐week interval. For concurrent validity of the OBC, Spearman correlation analysis was performed with Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI), Patient Health Questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9), Jaw Function Limitation Scale‐20 (JFLS‐20), and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for TMDs (TSK‐TMDs).ResultsItems had good to excellent test–retest reliability. The OBC‐T score was correlated with FAI, JFLS‐20, PHQ‐9, and TSK‐TMDs scores.ConclusionThese results provided important evidence that the OBC‐T can be used to evaluate parafunctional behaviors in individuals with TMDs in Turkish‐speaking populations.
