Sažetak
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms in the population of Rijeka, Croatia. The study was performed on the sample of 408 adult subjects, aged 18-84 years divided into three groups by age and gender. Methods: The presence and severity of TMD was determined by using a self-reported anamnestic questionnaire comprised of 11 questions regarding common TMD symptoms. Occlusal evaluation included analyses of RCP, ICP, anterolateral guidance, and nonworking side contacts during mandibular movements. Palpation of the muscles and TMJ was performed to detect clinical signs of TMD. Results: A total of 16% examinees had self-reported noctural bruxism and 33% had daily bruxism. 26% of the examinees experienced TMJ clicking. 28% of the examinees experienced tension type headache for more than once a month. 37% of the patients with presence of bruxism had headaches, 35% had painful necks and shoulders, and 33% experienced TMJ clicking. Of those who did not suffer from bruxism, 41% had headaches, 29% had painful neck and sholders and 24% had TMJ clicking Conclusion: It appears that sleep bruxism is related with presence of painful neck and sholders and TMJ clicking.
