The aim of this research was to measure the incidence of craniomandibular disorders in a group of patients with functional-type cervical alterations. The group consisted of 50 patients undergoing treatment for disorders of the cervical sectors of the spine. Each patient was subjected to a medical examination to investigate the presence of CMD signs or symptoms. From the data statistical analysis a higher percentage of cases with muscular and joint pain, limited mouth opening, deviation and deflection, were found in comparison with the percentage found among the general population. This demonstrates an overloading of the entire masticatory apparatus. Joint noise was less frequent, probably due to its exclusion from our sample of patients with arthrosis-type degenerative pathology.

Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation, Hangzhou TCM Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Objective: To observe the effect of warming needle moxibustion combined with rehabilitation techniques on clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR).
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 66patients, with ADDwoR, attending the Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Patients were assigned to the Experimental (12 sessions of warming needle moxibustion combined with rehabilitation manipulation therapy) and Control (rehabilitation therapy only) group (n = 33, each).

Article Synopsis
- Periodontitis is linked to systemic chronic inflammatory diseases, but there's limited understanding of how anti-cytokine therapies affect periodontal health and microbiome in such patients.
- This study involved 13 patients, assessing their periodontal status and gingival fluid before and 14 weeks after starting anti-cytokine treatment, with a focus on changes in the microbiome.
- Results showed a significant increase in microbial diversity, suggesting improvement in periodontal health, indicating a need for further research on the effects of biological treatments on periodontal conditions.

Purpose: To observe the effect of orthodontics combined with restoration on masticatory function in deep overbite patients with severe lower anterior teeth attrition.
Methods: From January 2018 to January 2022, a total of 164 deep overbite patients with severe lower anterior teeth attrition were collected and divided into two groups according to different treatment plans: control group(72 patients, with restoration treatment) and experimental group(92 patients, with orthodontics combined with restoration treatment). The chewing efficiency of the two groups was evaluated, temporomandibular joint dysfunction index (DI), muscle palpation index (PI) and cranio-mandibular index (CMI) were calculated.

Background: This study investigates the relationship between professional and recreational singing on temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in women compared to a nonsinging control group.
Methods: A total of 288 female subjects between the ages of 18 and 45 participated in the self-assessment questionnaire including demographic data, as well as questions on vocal practice and TMDs symptoms. Depending on the singing time per week, the (non)vocalists were assigned to the groups professional (n = 96), recreational (n = 96) and nonsingers (n = 96).
Is low back pain a risk/prognostic factor for the development and/or progression of temporomandibular disorders? A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the link between low back pain (LBP) and painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) through a systematic review of existing research.
- Eight observational studies were analyzed, revealing that individuals with chronic LBP were significantly more likely to develop TMDs, with a hazard ratio of 1.53 and odds ratio of 3.25.
- Although a strong correlation between chronic LBP and TMDs was identified, the authors highlighted the need for more research to draw definitive conclusions about this association.
