Self-reported bruxism and temporomandibular disorders: findings from two specialised centres

The aims of this investigation were to report the frequency of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) diagnoses and the prevalence of self-reported awake and sleep bruxism as well as to describe the possible differences between findings of two specialised centres as a basis to suggest recommendations for future improvements in diagnostic homogeneity and accuracy. A standardised Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) assessment was performed on patients attending both TMD Clinics, viz., at the University of Padova, Italy (n=219; 74% women) and at the University of Tel Aviv, Israel (n=397; 79% women), to assign axis I physical diagnoses and to record data on self-reported awake and sleep bruxism. Significant differences were shown between the two clinic samples as for the frequency of TMD diagnoses (chi-square, P<0·001) and the prevalence of at least one positive response to bruxism items (chi-square, P<0·001). The more widespread use of TMJ imaging techniques in one clinic sample led to a higher prevalence of multiple diagnoses, and the higher prevalence of self-reported bruxism in patients with myofascial pain alone described in the other clinic sample was not replicated, suggesting that the different adoption of clinical and imaging criteria to diagnose TMD may influence also reports on their association with bruxism. From this investigation, it emerged that the features of the study samples as well as the different interpretation of the same diagnostic guidelines may have strong influence on epidemiological reports on bruxism and TMD prevalence and on the association between the two disorders.     

‘I was cracking more than everyone else’: young adults' daily life experiences of hypermobility and jaw disorders

Most studies on general joint hypermobility (GJH) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are quantitative and have concluded that joint hypermobility is a risk factor for development of TMD. The present qualitative study aimed to explore young adults' daily life experiences of GJH, specifically these relating to jaw function, and their experiences of medical and dental care providers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine young adults (18–22 yr of age) and data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The overarching thematic category that emerged was ‘Hypermobility in daily life’, which was broken into six subthemes and three themes: ‘emotional perception’, ‘dealing with symptoms’, and ‘outside influences’. Participants' narratives centred on experiences of complex symptoms, awkward jaw function and joint noises, feeling different, and a lack of support from general medical and dental care providers. The findings show that young adults with joint hypermobility need early support from medical and dental care providers for managing their symptoms and conditions related to GJH. Future studies are warranted to develop guidelines for professionals in medical and dental care to detect and prevent forthcoming problems and to offer relevant support to hypermobile youths.     

Self‐report of temporomandibular joint clicking and psychological factors: is there an association?

The objectives of this study were to test the hypothesis that self‐reported TMJ clicking sounds in adolescents are positively associated with non‐specific somatic symptoms, self‐perception of body image and care‐seeking behaviour. A cross‐sectional study was carried out in 353 young adolescents (48·4% females) recruited from community (N = 272) and orthodontic clinic (N = 81) settings. Assessments included self‐reported TMJ clicking, non‐specific physical symptoms, body image concerns and for the clinic sample only, the source of motivation for treatment. TMJ sounds were self‐reported by 19% of the sample and were associated with higher scores for non‐specific physical symptoms and body image concerns (P < 0·001). Adolescents who were self‐motivated to seek orthodontic treatment had greater scores for non‐specific physical symptoms, more body image concerns and tended to report TMJ sounds more often (26·3% and 7·7% respectively; P = 0·41) than those who were solely parent/family‐motivated to seek treatment. Self‐reported TMJ sounds in adolescents were associated with a propensity to somatisation and concerns with body image. Care‐seeking adolescents have greater non‐specific physical symptoms and body image concerns and tend to report more frequent TMJ sounds.

Comparison of two groups of patients with TMJ-disorder

A total of 49 patients seeking treatment for TMJ-disorders in a district in Northern Norway during a period of 3 months, were described according to social, medical and dental characteristics, amount and type of symptoms, and clinical findings. Data were compared with those obtained from a group of TMJ-patients at the Dental Faculty, University of Oslo. In both materials women were heavily overrepresented. In the group presently studied, the age profile and the amount of reported stressors were higher, and the social class composition somewhat lower, than those in the material obtained at the University. These inequalities should be seen in context with the demographic composition of the two communities. It is anticipated that the main characteristics of the university group are generally valid for patients with TMJ-disorders in Norway.     

Irrigation fluid volume requirement for conventional arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint: a cadaver study

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis is considered an effective and minimally invasive procedure for certain conditions related to temporomandibular disorders. The ideal irrigation volume for arthrocentesis lavage has not yet been defined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different saline solution volumes in removing methylene blue from the TMJ space of fresh human cadavers. Nineteen cadavers were selected and 1 ml of 10 μM methylene blue solution was injected into the upper joint space unilaterally. Conventional arthrocentesis was then conducted by infusion of 300 ml of 0.9% saline solution, collecting a 1-ml sample from the drained quantity for every 25 ml injected. Finally, the samples were assayed by measuring photo absorbance of the methylene blue solution. There was a statistically significant difference between the irrigation volumes regarding the removal of methylene blue solution from the joint space (P < 0.001), specifically between the first 25 ml and 200 ml (P = 0.014), 225 ml (P = 0.001), 250 ml (P < 0.001), and 275 ml (P = 0.001). Based on this ex vivo study, a 25-ml perfusion volume appears to be sufficient for joint lavage in conventional arthrocentesis of the TMJ.     

Clinical comparison between two different splint designs for temporomandibular disorder therapy

Objective. To compare splint therapy in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients using two splint designs. Material and methods. In a double-blind randomized parallel trial, 40 consenting patients were selected from the dental faculty pool of TMD patients. Two splint designs were produced: an ordinary stabilization (Michigan type) and a NTI (Nociceptiv trigeminal inhibition). The differences in splint design were not described to the patients. All patients were treated by one operator. A separate, blinded, examiner assessed joint and muscle tenderness by palpation and jaw opening prior to splint therapy, and after 2 and 6 weeks' and 3 months' splint use during night-time. The patients reported headache and TMD-related pain on a visual analog scale before and after splint use, and were asked to describe the comfort of the splint and invited to comment. Results. Thirty-eight patients with mainly myogenic problems were observed over 3 months. A reduction of muscle tenderness upon palpation and self-reported TMD-related pain and headache and an improved jaw opening was seen in both splint groups (p<0.05; paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-ranks tests). There were no changes for TM joint tenderness upon palpation. No differences were noted between the two splint designs after 3 months for the chosen criteria of treatment efficacy (p>0.05; Mann-Whitney U-test). Conclusion. No differences in treatment efficacy were noted between the Michigan and the NTI splint types when compared over 3 months.
