Comparison of Clinical Findings in Different Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: An Observational Study
Öz
Aim:
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are complex disorders affecting the temporomandibu-lar joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles and related structures, often causing severe pain and func-tional limitations. This study aims to compare clinical findings among three different TMD sub-typesosteoarthritis (OA), disc displacement with reduction (DDWR), disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR) and bruxism and to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of tinnitus in these groups.
Material and Method:
A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 patients with primary diagnoses of OA, DDWR, DDWoR or Bruxism. Clinical parameters evaluated included impairment in daily activities, masticatory pain and efficiency, joint sounds, muscle palpation scores, maximal mouth opening and presence of tinnitus. Data were statistically analyzed by accepting the significance level as p<0.05.
Results:
DDWoR patients showed the highest levels of impairment in daily activities, chewing pain, and decreased maximal mouth opening. Bruxism patients had the highest masseter palpation scores and tinnitus prevalence. Joint sounds were most prominent in the DDWR group, while OA pa-tients showed relatively milder symptoms. No significant difference was found between the groups in temporal palpation scores.
Conclusion:
This study evaluates the effects of different TMD subtypes and bruxism on clinical findings, re-vealing the unique symptom profiles and common features of these diseases. The findings empha-size the importance of individualized approaches in TMD diagnosis and treatment processes. In particular, the relationship between bruxism and tinnitus and the significant effect of DDWoR on daily life activities may contribute to the development of more targeted treatment strategies. The development of such studies will help clinicians provide more appropriate and effective solutions to the needs of patients.
