Aims: To determine the prevalence of treatment need for temporomandibular disorders in adult populations by meta-analysis of nonpatient studies and to investigate factors influencing temporomandibular disorder treatment-need estimates.
Methods: Population-based and nonpatient studies of adult subjects with temporomandibular disorders published in the English language prior to July 2006 were systematically reviewed. Electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Science Citation Index Expanded) were searched (n = 641). To combine data, fixed- and random-effects meta-regression models were used. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess factors influencing treatment need estimates.
Results: Of 676 articles identified, 17 (9,454 subjects) met the study criteria. The prevalence of treatment need for TMD in adults (95% confidence interval) was estimated to be 15.6% (10.0, 23.6) for the fixed effect model and 16.2% (11.2, 21.1) for the random-effects model. Criteria of estimating treatment need and place of study strongly influenced summary estimates of treatment need (P < .001). Need estimates derived from clinical TMD signs were higher than estimates based on subject-reported symptoms (P = .010). Estimates for younger subjects (19 to 45 years) were higher than for older subjects (46+ years; P = .013).
Conclusion: The treatment need for TMD in the general adult population is substantial and varies according to definition, criteria, and age. Findings of this meta-analysis can be used for planning and allocating health-care resources.

The management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in elderly patients can present a significant challenge for dentists due to its multifactorial etiology, aging-related changes that contribute to TMD, and the fragile psychological state of these patients. Despite the growing prevalence of TMD in the elderly population, the scientific literature provides limited information about effective management strategies for this group. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers and clinicians to focus on improving our understanding of TMD in the elderly population and to develop more effective treatment approaches.

Department of Prosthodontics, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary.
Purpose: Arthrogenic temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that do not respond to conservative treatment necessitate the use of semi-conservative methods, such as arthrocentesis. However, the ranking of intraarticular devices used in arthrocentesis remains controversial. Therefore, a network meta-analysis and systematic review were conducted to compare the different materials used for arthrocentesis.
