To verify temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and cervical angles in a young and middle-aged population.
Ninety participants were included, 45 of whom had TMDs. The participants were diagnosed according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs. Lateral cervical radiographs were taken, and relevant cervical angles were measured. The general characteristics of the TMD group and control group were analyzed using chi-square analysis, and the relationship between cervical angles and TMDs was evaluated using the unpaired -test.
The decrease in C2-C7 Cobb and increase in the posterior occipitocervical angle (POCA) were associated with the incidence of TMDs ( < 0.0001).
This study revealed that the cervical angle was related to TMDs. People with a long-time habit of head bending posture had a decrease in C2-C7 Cobb and an increase in the POCA. This group of people was more likely to develop TMDs.
验证年轻及中年人群中的颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMDs)与颈椎角度情况。
纳入90名参与者,其中45人患有TMDs。参与者根据TMDs的研究诊断标准进行诊断。拍摄颈椎侧位X线片,并测量相关颈椎角度。采用卡方分析对TMD组和对照组的一般特征进行分析,采用非配对t检验评估颈椎角度与TMDs之间的关系。
C2-C7 Cobb角减小和枕颈后角(POCA)增大与TMDs的发生率相关(P<0.0001)。
本研究表明颈椎角度与TMDs有关。长期有头部弯曲姿势习惯的人C2-C7 Cobb角减小,POCA增大。这群人更易患TMDs。
