“…Masseter and ear muscles have a common embryological origin, the first pharyngeal arch being mentioned in studies as a factor contributing to this correlation between otological symptoms and TMJ pathology 10,11 . Muscle involvement in the occurrence of otic symptomatology in patients with TMJ pathology is supported by many other studies 6,[19][20][21] . Also, edentation, pathological attrition or occlusal trauma may be factors contributing to a posterior posi- tion of the mandibular condyle, causing compression of the tympanic artery and vein.…”

Functional connection between the stomatognathic system and the acoustic-vestibular apparatus is mentioned from ancient times, being at the same time approached with interest in topical studies, in an attempt to elucidate in depth the cause-effect relationship between pathology and symptom.The theoretical and practical knowledge of anatomy accumulated over the years represent an indisputable proof of the connection that exists between the two entities, but there is a continuing debate nowadays about the extent to which the pathology of the temporomandibular joint can generate otological symptoms and especially the limits within which the treatment for this disorder can influence the diminution of the manifestations of the acoustic-vestibular system.Although symptoms such as otalgia, tinnitus, vertigo are commonly found in the ear pathology, ENT specialists are constantly confronted with situations where these phenomena are the clinical expression of certain disorders that go beyond the acoustic-vestibular analyzer. As the components of the dento-maxillary apparatus are, in many situations, cited as a source of the same symptomatology, the interdisciplinary collaboration between the ENT specialist and the dentist is essential in shaping a correct diagnosis and, implicitly, in focusing on an ideal treatment plan.

“…The center of attention of their involvement starts when it is understood that anatomically they are muscles of the middle ear although they are really muscles of mastication because they are modulated by motoneurons coming form the trigeminal motor nucleus (V3). (Campbell et al, 1982;Myrhaug;Eckerdal, 1991;Ciancaglini et al, 1994;Greene, 2001;Travell & Simons, 2002) TMD high muscular activity can be exacerbated originating in this nucleus with its possible otic consequences from the tensor tympani and tensor veli palatine muscles participation.…”

SUMMARY:For many years otic symptoms have been closely observed in TMD clinical practice. This review includes trials that meet eligibility criteria in the field of otic symptoms diagnosed and treated by a stomatognathic focal point. The aim is centered on the implications of the debated cause-effect connection between otic symptoms and TMD offering a probable bond between the TMJ, ear and adjacent structures. The rationalization is based on an embryological and anatomical approach that offers explanations on the otic pathogenic mechanisms symptoms interconnected with TMD. The accompanying reciprocity among disciplines of odontology and otolaryngology is brought together by TMD and otic referred mutual symptomatology as is showed in multiple trials. This research is an attempt that targets the integration of these two health specialties in the diagnosis and treatment of this type of population.

“…The TMJ can also be inspected for sounds and tenderness by placing the tips of the fingers in front of the tragus of the ear while the client opens and closes the mouth (Figure 3B). It is important to note that tenderness in this area may indicate capsulitis (inflammation of joint capsule), whereas an audible or palpable opening and closing click may suggest an ADD with reduction (25). The masticatory muscles may also be inspected for tenderness.…”

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) encompass a multitude of signs and symptoms that arise from dysfunction of the muscles of mastication (eating), temporomandibular joint tissues, and associated anatomical structures. TMDs are recognized as a significant cause of orofacial pain, presenting in approximately 5-12% of the general population. TMDs are also common in sports with an estimated lifetime prevalence ranging from 11.7 to 77.8% of the athletic population. Basketball, handball, hockey, water polo, and swimming carry the highest risk. Given the prevalence of TMDs in the athletic and nonathletic population, there is a high likelihood that strength and conditioning (S&C) specialists will encounter individuals with TMDs. Thus, this article aims to provide the S&C specialist with an overview of the pathology and the management of TMDs with an emphasis on postrehabilitation exercise programming and selfmanagement.
