BMC Oral Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 23(1)

Published: Oct. 4, 2023

Abstract Introduction Some of the conditions affected by COVID-19 pandemic were Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and bruxism. The present study compares effect on TMD bruxism (sleep awake) in three time periods: before (pre-COV), during (during-COV) after subsided (post-COVR). Material Methods A total 587 adult patients (108 pre-COV group, 180 during-COV group 252 post-COVR group) who arrived for a routine dental treatment between October 2018 January 2023 evaluated according to Axis I diagnosis Diagnostic Criteria (DC/TMD). Each patient received DC/TMD as follows: (i) Painful (defined presence at least one following - local myalgia, myofascial pain with referral, arthralgia or headache attributed TMD); (ii) Non painful disc displacement with/without reduction, degenerative joint disorders and/or dislocation), (iii) Possible sleep (SB) (iv) awake (AB). Statistical methods Logistic regression analyses conducted establish impact gender prospects TMD, non-painful SB AB.

ABSTRACT Background There is limited understanding of how temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms, psychological distress, and well‐being are related to each other OHRQoL in Chinese young adults. Objectives This study aimed identify correlations between TMD symptom severity, status, while also examining factors associated with low OHRQoL. Methods Participants, recruited from a major university the capital city, completed survey that included demographics, versions expanded five symptoms (5Ts) screener, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales‐21 (DASS‐21), Ryff's Scales Psychological Well‐being‐18 (SPWB‐18), Oral Health Impact Profile for TMDs (OHIP‐TMD). Data were analysed using Chi‐square Kruskal‐Wallis/Mann–Whitney U tests, Spearman's correlation, logistic regression ( α = 0.05). Results The sample consisted 414 individuals (mean age 22.0 years [SD 2.1], 77.8% female). Among them, 23.4%, 22.2%, 15.7%, 38.6% had no (NT), intra‐articular (IT), pain‐related (PT), combined (CT) respectively.

Using Propensity Score Subclassification to Estimate the Population‐Average Causal Effect of Temporomandibular Dysfunction Experience on Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life Among Australian Adults

Community Dentistry And Oral Epidemiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 17, 2025

ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) experience might impair oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL). Causal inference using population‐based cross‐sectional data is challenging given the potential for bias. Propensity Score Subclassification (PS‐Subclassification) provides a tool to mitigate confounding The aim this study was estimate Population‐Average Treatment Effect (PATE) having TMD among Australian adults on OHRQoL PS‐Subclassification and statistically estimated Minimally Important Differences (MID‐S). Method Australia's National Survey Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) 2004–06 were used which included Computer Assisted Telephone Interview, mailed questionnaire epidemiological examination. Data demographics, socioeconomics, caries (DMFT index), periodontitis, Diagnostic Criteria Question, Impact Profile (OHIP‐14) perceived stress. Analysis steps included: (1) generating propensity scores (PS) probability causal model‐derived confounders while incorporating survey design elements; (2) weighting; (3) assessing common support group balance (4) estimating PATE OHIP‐14 overall domains complex samples GLM. Results Of 4063 NSAOH participants, 397 with 3656 without in (all used) shared their PS established adequate covariate (SMD < 0.2).

Published: March 2, 2025

Background/Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) on oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL), determine effects different influencing factors, and identify most affected dimensions among Saudi Arabian population. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted 110 individuals visiting Department Oral Medicine at Dental University Hospital (DUH), King Saud University. Participants were equally categorized into two groups: TMD controls. The diagnosis based Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMDs). OHRQoL assessed using OHIP-TMD scale. Statistical analyses included independent t-tests, chi-square tests, multivariate regression models association between OHRQoL. Results: population consisted 72.7% females, with 91.8% holding a degree 81.8% being married. patients showed significantly lower scores in all domains (p ≤ 0.05), pronounced impairments observed terms physical pain psychological discomfort = 0.000). Marital status significant predictor 0.02; OR 0.277), whereas gender education no associations. Conclusions: is associated impaired OHRQoL, particularly discomfort. emerged as demographic factor Given nature this study, findings highlight associations rather than causation.

Exploring the Four‐Dimensional Impact of Pain‐Related and/or Intra‐Articular Temporomandibular Disorder Symptoms on Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life Among Young Adults

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 4, 2025

A four-dimensional structure for oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was recently proposed, comprising function (OF), orofacial pain (OP), appearance (OA) and psychosocial impact (PI). This study examined the different temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms on four OHRQoL dimensions in young adults. It also correlated with seven Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) domains. Young adults were recruited from a large university. The quintessential five TMD (5Ts) OHIP-14 used to assess OHRQoL. Participants categorised into no (NT), pain-related (PT), intra-articular (IT) combined (CT) groups, total, dimension domain OHIP scores computed. Data evaluated using chi-square test non-parametric analyses (α = 0.05). Among 1097 eligible participants (mean age 19.9 years [SD 1.3]; 69.7% women), 47.2% reported symptoms, while 20.5%, 14.9% 17.4% had PT, IT CT respectively. Significant differences noted between individuals without across all domains (CT, > NT). Additionally, notable distinctions normalised evident participant groups (OP, OA OF, PI). Moderate strong correlations discerned domain, except functional limitation (rs 0.35). Adopting as standard metric assessing can improve comparability enhance understanding impacts.

Sleep Bruxism Is a Significant Risk Factor for the Recurrence of Temporomandibular Disorder: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 2, 2025

ABSTRACT Background Oral behaviours are risk factors for temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but the associations between oral and TMD prognosis remain unclear. Objective To assess effect of on prognosis. Methods This single‐centre retrospective study included 99 patients (12 males 87 females, median age: 28 years) who received physical therapy January August 2022 completed a 6‐month follow‐up. Pain intensity, mouth opening, jaw function were assessed at baseline. At follow‐up, disease recurrence abovementioned indicators assessed. Paired‐samples t tests used to compare pain, opening before after treatment. Chi‐squared changes in behaviours. Multivariate logistic regression analyses identify recurrence. p < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results was reported by 25 patients, yielding rate 25%. After therapy, patients' significantly improved ( 0.001). The behaviour during waking hours effectively corrected 0.05); however, it difficult improve nocturnal > 0.05). analysis revealed that sleep bruxism an independent factor (OR = 4.411, 0.023).
