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.
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.
No association between craniofacial morphology and TMD was found (P = 0.6622). However, brachyfacial morphology influences the presence of painful TMD (P = 0.0077).
Craniofacial morphology is not related to temporomandibular disorders in general.
本研究调查了成人颅面形态与颞下颌关节紊乱病之间的关联。还评估了不同颅面形态对疼痛性颞下颌关节紊乱病的影响。
共选取200名受试者,其中100名患有颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMD),100名无TMD(对照组),均根据颞下颌关节紊乱病的研究诊断标准进行诊断。所有受试者均拍摄头颅侧位片,并通过里克茨分析法分为短面型、中面型或长面型。数据采用Tukey-Kramer检验和卡方检验进行分析。
未发现颅面形态与TMD之间存在关联(P = 0.6622)。然而,短面型形态会影响疼痛性TMD的发生(P = 0.0077)。
一般而言,颅面形态与颞下颌关节紊乱病无关。
