UNLABELLED Temporomandibular disorders are a set of musculoskeletal dysfunctions within the masticatory system, with multiple etiologies. OBJECTIVE Since craniocervical dystonia can involve the same neuromuscular structure as the temporomandibular joint, we sought to assess the correlation between temporomandibular disorders and craniocervical dystonia. METHOD We applied the Research Diagno...

Introduction: Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a disorder including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and of the masticatory muscles their associated structures. TMD accounts for most common orofacial pains arising from musculoskeletal origin or non-dental with prevalence 5-12% in population.
 Aim: The aim current study was to assess knowledge, attitude practice dental practitioners about U...

Purpose: Using simultaneous multi-cross sectional imaging, four cross sections, including the mandibular midline and the right and left temporomandibular joints, were imaged to observe one movement of mouth opening and closing and analyze the movement of the mandible and temporomandibular joints. Materials and Methods: Four cross sections, including the midsagittal section of the mandible, the ...

BACKGROUND Temporomandibular disorder poses a diagnostic challenge to otolaryngologists as orofacial pain, headache and otology symptoms are very common in temporomandibular disorder, and mimic a number of otolaryngological conditions. Missed diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder can lead to unnecessary investigation and treatment, resulting in further patient suffering. OBJECTIVES To revie...

[Purpose] Temporomandibular disorder is one of the many different adverse health conditions that can be triggered by stress. Therefore, a biopsychosocial model has been proposed to characterize the multifactorial nature of temporomandibular disorder. The aim of the present study was investigate the correlation of salivary cortisol levels with the activities of the masseter and anterior temporal...

Introduction: Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPDS) is one of the most important causes of the orofacial pain. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate 40 related variables in this regard. Materials and Methods: Thirty nine patients with MPDS were evaluated in this study. Different factors including age, gender, occupation, marital status, sensitivity of masticatory muscles, maxi...
