Objectives: This study investigated the association between craniofacial morphology and temporomandibular disorders in adults. The influence of different craniofacial morphologies on painful temporomandibular disorders was also evaluated.
Material And Methods: A total of 200 subjects were selected, including 100 with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and 100 without TMD (control), diagnosed by research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders. All subjects were submitted to lateral cephalometric radiographs, and classified as brachyfacial, mesofacial, or dolichofacial by Ricketts' analysis. Data were analysed by Tukey-Kramer and Chi-square tests.
Results: No association between craniofacial morphology and TMD was found (P = 0.6622). However, brachyfacial morphology influences the presence of painful TMD (P = 0.0077).
Conclusions: Craniofacial morphology is not related to temporomandibular disorders in general.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a common disease often accompanied by pain, seriously affecting physical and mental health of patients. Abnormal innervation at the osteochondral junction has been considered as a predominant origin of arthralgia, while the specific mechanism mediating pain remains unclear. To investigate the underlying mechanism of TMJ-OA pain, an abnormal joint loading model was used to induce TMJ-OA pain.

Introduction: Chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect a notable portion of the population, with a prevalence of 5% to 12%. These conditions often lead individuals to adopt a soft-food diet to manage pain, but such dietary adjustments can inadvertently cause nutritional deficiencies. This issue may be compounded by medications used to manage TMD symptoms, which can contribute to fatigue and reduced daily functioning.

Large language models (LLMs) offer potential in primary dental care. We conducted an evaluation of LLMs' diagnostic capabilities across various oral diseases and contexts. All LLMs showed diagnostic capabilities for temporomandibular joint disorders, periodontal disease, dental caries, and malocclusion.

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.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between orthodontic treatment and development of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in pediatric patients.
Methods: This study analyzed 122 pediatric patients (age 10-18 years) who underwent orthodontic treatment. The inclusion criteria included comprehensive orthodontic records and substantial clinical documentation, while the exclusion criteria targeted preexisting TMDs or syndromes affecting the temporomandibular joint.
