Abstract

Aim: Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a disorder that affecting especially temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and surrounding tissues. Because of that TMD affect on patient comfort negatively. The aim of this study determine to prevalence of TMD and its relationship between parafunctional habits.
Material and Methods: A total of 129 people, 71 female and 58 male students, studying at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Faculty of Dentistry were included in the study. A questionnaire including sociodemographic questions, Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI), parafunctional habits and bruxism was applied to the participants.
Results: It was determined that 74.42% of the participants included in the study had TMD, 70.5% had at least one parafunctional habit, and 40.3% had bruxism. The prevalence of TMD, parafunctional habits and bruxism was found to be statistically significantly higher in female than in male (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Determining the prevalence and severity of TMD using FAI has advantages such as low cost and easy applicability. Determining the prevalence of TMD, especially in young adults, is of great importance in terms of diagnosing TMJ problems before its progress, preventing possible complications and prognosis of treatment.

Abstract

Amaç: Temporomandibular disfonksiyon (TMD), temporomandibular eklem (TME) başta olmak üzere çiğneme kasları ve çevre dokuları etkileyen bir bozukluktur. Bu nedenle TMD hasta konforunu olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı TMD prevalansını ve parafonksiyonel alışkanlıklar ile olan ilişkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören 71’i kadın, 58’i erkek öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 129 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik sorular, Fonseka Anamnestik İndeksi (FAİ), parafonksiyonel alışkanlıklar ve bruksizmi içeren anket uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen katılımcıların %74,42’ sinin TMD’ye, %70,5’inin en az bir parafonksiyonel alışkanlığa, %40,3’ünün ise bruksizme sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. TMD, parafonksiyonel alışkanlar ve bruksizm prevalansının kadınlarda erkeklere oranla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç: TMD prevalans ve şiddetinin FAİ kullanılarak belirlenmesi, düşük maliyet ve kolay uygulanabilirlik gibi avantajlara sahiptir. Özellikle genç erişkinlerde TMD prevalansının tespit edilmesi, TME problemlerinin ilerlemeden teşhis edilmesi, olası komplikasyonların önlenmesi ve tedavi prognozu açısından büyük öneme sahiptir.
