This prospective clinical study evaluated the correlation among temporomandibular disorder (TMD), otologic manifestations, and parafunctional habits in a sample of 100 patients with TMD. The subjects were evaluated by clinical examination, use of a simplified anamnestic questionnaire for TMD diagnosis, and the investigation of otologic manifestations and parafunctional habits of the stomatognathic system. The prevalence of TMD and correlations with otologic manifestations and parafunctional habits were calculated. Patients ranged in age from 13 to 70 years, and 79.0% of the patients were between the ages of 30 and 59 years. Women represented 88.0% of the sample. Otologic manifestations were found in 92.0% of patients with TMD. Sex showed a significant correlation with severity of TMD (P = 0.024). A significant correlation was observed between female patients and both otalgia (P = 0.036) and ear pruritus (P < 0.001). Otalgia showed a significant association with the symptoms of TMD (P = 0.003). Significant correlations between severe TMD and otalgia (P < 0.001), tinnitus (P = 0.010), ear pruritus (P < 0.001), and aural fullness (P = 0.014) were also observed. Ear pruritus, otalgia, and aural fullness are the most common otologic manifestations in patients with TMD, showing a significant correlation with the female sex, severity of TMD, and frequency of TMD symptoms.
这项前瞻性临床研究评估了100例颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMD)患者样本中颞下颌关节紊乱病、耳科表现和副功能习惯之间的相关性。通过临床检查、使用简化的用于TMD诊断的记忆问卷以及对口腔颌面部系统的耳科表现和副功能习惯进行调查来评估受试者。计算了TMD的患病率以及与耳科表现和副功能习惯的相关性。患者年龄在13至70岁之间,79.0%的患者年龄在30至59岁之间。女性占样本的88.0%。92.0%的TMD患者存在耳科表现。性别与TMD严重程度呈显著相关性(P = 0.024)。在女性患者与耳痛(P = 0.036)和耳痒(P < 0.001)之间均观察到显著相关性。耳痛与TMD症状呈显著相关性(P = 0.003)。还观察到严重TMD与耳痛(P < 0.001)、耳鸣(P = 0.010)、耳痒(P < 0.001)和耳闷(P = 0.014)之间存在显著相关性。耳痒、耳痛和耳闷是TMD患者中最常见的耳科表现,与女性性别、TMD严重程度和TMD症状频率呈显著相关性。
