Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The role of the occlusion in the etiology and prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has not been conclusively demonstrated. Occlusal factors and condyle position asymmetry as deduced from computed tomography (CT) axial scans were correlated with signs and symptoms of TMD in 49 young adults (mean age 24 years, range 15-33 years) with complete or almost complete dentition. A statistically significant correlation was noted between these signs and symptoms and occlusal variables describing asymmetry (the amount and lateral deviation of the slide from the retruded contact position (RCP) to the intercuspal position (IP), deviation of protrusion and asymmetry in bilateral cuspid occlusion). It seems that occlusal discrepancy can be a predisposing factor to TMD, especially when it is asymmetrically expressed. |
