Purpose: To determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in medical university students and to analyze the relationship of TMD with psychological and functional occlusal parameters.
Materials And Methods: 200 students (mean age 21.81 ± 1.99) were screened for TMD with the TMD Pain Screener. Clinical examinations identified the participants with TMD. Based on their diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) axis I diagnosis, participants were divided into three groups: group 1- non-TMD, group 2- pain related TMD and headaches, and group 3- intra-articular joint disorders. Further study was continued involving patients diagnosed with TMD as the study group, and an equal number of age- and sex-matched participants were selected in control group. Among these, emotional distress was evaluated using the "hospital anxiety and depression scale" (HADS). Occlusal evaluations were done by using the T-Scan computerized occlusal analysis system. Occlusion time, left lateral disclusion time, right lateral disclusion time, and protrusion disclusion time were measured with T-Scan III. These parameters were compared among the groups with ANOVA test at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: 17% of the population were affected by TMD. The mean HADSd (depression) and HADSa (anxiety) scores were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in group 2 (7.67 ± 3.68; 10.60 ± 3.33) and group 3 (6.89 ± 3.23; 9.26 ± 4.05) as compared to group 1 (3.18 ± 2.33; 5.29 ± 3.21). The mean values of occlusion time, left lateral disclusion time, right lateral disclusion time, and protrusion-disclusion time were also higher for group 2 and group 3 as compared to group 1.
Conclusions: This study found that the prevalence of TMD in this university student population was 17%. There were significant associations of TMD with psychological parameters and functional occlusal parameters.

Influence of disclusion time reduction on changes in posterior implant prosthesis occlusion and its association with crestal bone loss: A clinical study.
J Prosthet Dent
June 2023
Professor and Head, Department of Prosthodontics and Implantology, Vishnu Dental College, NTR University of Health Sciences, Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Statement Of Problem: A prolonged period of high magnitude occlusal contact can be associated with rapid changes of the occlusal surfaces and, in turn, may lead to overloading of an implant-supported prosthesis. Crestal bone loss may be one of the repercussions of overloading, but the influence of disclusion time (DT) reduction (DTR) is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the role of DTR in preventing the occlusal changes and crestal bone loss at progressive time intervals of 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months in posterior implant-supported prostheses.
Evaluation of pre- and post-treatment masticatory and bite force efficiency in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery using T-Scan Novus occlusal analysis: A factorial randomized controlled trial.

Introduction And Background: Orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment require quantified occlusion finish to rule out any temporomandibular disorders. Hence, the present study was proposed to analyze the occlusal efficiency in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic and combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgery using digital occlusal analysis.
Methodology: A randomized multi-arm controlled trial was conducted on 55 patients divided into four groups, that is, group I: class I crowding/proclination required extraction for fixed orthodontic treatment, group II: class II div 1 required orthodontic treatment and/or myofunctional therapy, group III: skeletal class II required combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment, and group IV: skeletal class III required combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment.

Prosthodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Aydin University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occlusal problems and hearing symptoms.
Methods: Electromyography, occlusion analysis, and hearing tests were performed on 24 patients with temporomandibular disorders and concurrent ear symptoms and 16 subjects in the control group.
Results: The null hypothesis of no statistically significant relationship between pure tone audiometry (PTA) values and disclusion times (DT) > 0.
Occlusal analysis of patients with chewing side preference and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders.

Dept. of Stomatology, The First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing 100853, China.
Objectives: In this study, TeeTester digital occlusal analysis system was used to analyse the occlusal characteristics of chewing side preference (CSP) and non-CSP patients with TMD symptoms.
Methods: According to the questionnaire and oral examination, 80 subjects were screened and divided into four groups: 20 CSP patients with TMD symptoms, 20 CSP patients without TMD symptoms, 20 non-CSP patients with TMD symptoms, 20 non-CSP patients without TMD symptoms. TeeTester digital occlusal system was applied to measure the occlusal characteristics in all four groups, including total contect area (TCA), total occlution force (TOF), distribution of occlusal force (DOF), asymmetric index of occlusal force (AOF), occlusal time (OT), disclusion time (DT) and center of occlusal force(COF).

: The objective of our clinical trial was to determine the effectiveness of the deep dry needling technique (DDN) (neuromuscular deprogramming) as a first step in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders. : The double-blind randomized clinical trial comprised 36 patients meeting the inclusion criteria who had signed the corresponding informed consent form. The participants were randomly distributed into two groups, the Experimental group (Group E) and the Control group (Group C).
