Sažetak
The aetiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) remains controversial. The role of stress is stil under discussion. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of subjective symptoms of TMD in a group of Croatian War veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occuring as a conseguence of exposure to war stress. Methods: A group of 100 male subjects (x=35.56± ; 6.12, range 25-52) who had participated in the War in Croatia and had PTSD was examined. The control group comprised 100 subjects of the same sex and age (x=34.5± ; 7.67, range 24-51) who hadn't participated in the war and hadn't PTSD (Harvard trauma Questionaire). The examination was performed by means of a questionaire in which the subjects answerwd questions with 'yes' – ; 'no'. Results: Eighty two per cent of the group with PTSD had at least one symptom compared to 24% of the healthy subjects (chi-square 55.26 ; p<0.0001). Sound in TMJ was the most frequent symptom in both groups (60% in PTSD group, 12% in healthy subjects, chi-square 22.96 ; p<0.0001). The greatest difference between the groups is related to teeth clenching and greeding (84% PTSD group, 8% healthy subjects, chi-square 55.11 ; p<0.0001), and headaches (78% PTSD group, 4% healthy subjects, chi-square 53.58 ; p<0.0001). Conclusion: High presence of subjective symptoms in exameenes with PTSD and statistically significant difference compare to healthy control group confirms the important role of war stress on the genesis of TMD.
