Pojavnost temporomandibularnih poremećaja u muškoj populaciji nepacijenata.

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders is a collective term embracing a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joints, or both. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders in a male nonpatient population and to examine an association between occlusal factors and temporomandibular disorders. Material and methods: A questionnaire including data from history and clinical functional examination according to Gutowski was used in the study. All subjects (a total of 230) were male, from 19 to 28 years of age (mean 21.3 &plusmn ; ; ; ; ; 2.1 years). Results: The study indicated that 38% of subjects had at least one symptom (subjects with slight, moderate and severe discomfort) and 44.3% of subjects had at least one sign of temporomandibular disorders. Ninety-one subjects had TMJ clicking, 3 subjects TMJ crepitation, 78 subjects TMJ pain on palpation and functional manipulation, 58 subjects masticatory muscle pain on palpation and functional manipulation, and 43 subjects had mandibular deviation on opening and closing movements greater than 2 millimetres. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed several weak but statistically significant correlations between the occlusal factors and observed clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders in a male nonpatient population. Conclusion: Clinical signs and symptoms were correlated with some occlusal variables (malocclusion traits (Angle classes II/1 ; II/2 ; III, crossbite), centric slide between centric relation and maximum intercuspidation ≥ 1 mm, midline discrepancy ≥ 2 mm, ≤ 10 contacts during maximal biting pressure, nonworking side interferences, and horizontal overlap ≥ 5 mm), but their association, however, can not be considered unique or dominant in defining of temporomandibular disorder population.
