The present study
aimed to evaluate the long term results of our previous study. In the previous
study, we found that temporomandibular joint disorders(TMJDs) are related to
habitual prone sleeping position and nasal septal deviation. Of 200
participants 104 patients were diagnosed as TMJD. After five years we evaluated
101 of 104 patients by means of TMJD sympthoms. By these years 27 of 65
patients with nasal septal deviation had gone to septoplasty. And we saw that
24 of this 27 improved (88.8%). Additionally, 27 of 50 patients who changed
their habitual sleeping position also improved (54%). This study showed that
correcting nasal septal deviation and habitual prone sleeping position improves
temporomandibular joint disorder sympthoms.
