Forty-seven patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction were studied. A total of 100 subjective symptoms localized in the ear were encountered in thirty-nine patients. The treatment of dysfunction eradicated or reduced 56% of these symptoms. A hearing defect was established audiometrically in eight cases and the probable cause was outside the masticatory apparatus in seven cases. There was conceviably a causal relationship in one case between the patient's cochlear hearing defect and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The neuro-otological finding was pathological in nine cases, in three of which the causative agent was independent of the masticatory apparatus. The vestibular disturbance diagnosed in six cases may have originated from temporomandibular joint dysfunction, but this could not be confirmed.

This study aims to compare two different single-puncture arthrocentesis (SPA) Type 2 techniques, the Y-shaped cannula and the concentric needle methods, in terms of intraoperative parameters. In the study, data from 32 unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis procedures, including procedure duration (seconds), the number of cannula relocations, and procedural difficulty (evaluated using a visual analog scale), were retrospectively analyzed. The Y-shaped cannula technique was found to significantly reduce procedure duration (284.

Department of Prosthodontics, Taiyuan Conatant lun Dental Hospital, Taiyuan, 030001, Shanxi, China.

Introduction And Aims: Epidemiological observational studies have explored the link between bone joint-related diseases and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but inconsistent conclusions have emerged due to various limitations. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between bone joint-related diseases and TMD using Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods: We utilized a two-sample MR design, applying pooled genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from six subtypes of bone and joint diseases and TMD.
