Temporomandibular disorders have common signs and symptoms, including pain in the masticatory muscles, limitation or deviation in a mandibular range of motion, and other common patient complaints, such as headache and earache. The main focus of this study was to collect comprehensive and integrated data on the effect of the posterior stop on temporomandibular joint disorders, as well as prevention, treatment, and follow-up care for the patients. The authors conducted the search in PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINHAL, Medline, ProQuest, Google Scholar, Magiran, IranDoc, SID, and Iranmedex databases for relevant articles. A list of selected study sources, related conferences, and grey literature were manually searched in addition to the databases mentioned above. A 21-year time limit was imposed (2000-2021). Finally, 16 articles were selected to be reviewed in this systematic review. The designs of the included studies were heterogeneous, and due to the low number of studies covered, the authors could not carry out a meta-analysis. The causes of temporomandibular disorders are multifactorial and complex. Therefore, it is difficult to investigate the relationship between this disorder and predictors. The results of the present study indicate that to determine the effect of the posterior stop on temporomandibular joint disorders, more clinical trials and case-control studies should be conducted.
颞下颌关节紊乱病有常见的体征和症状，包括咀嚼肌疼痛、下颌运动范围受限或偏斜，以及其他常见的患者主诉，如头痛和耳痛。本研究的主要重点是收集关于后牙合垫对颞下颌关节紊乱病的影响以及患者预防、治疗和随访护理的全面综合数据。作者在PubMed、SCOPUS、科学网、考克兰图书馆、护理学与健康领域数据库、医学在线数据库、ProQuest、谷歌学术、Magiran、伊朗文献数据库、伊朗科学信息数据库和伊朗医学数据库中检索相关文章。除上述数据库外，还手动检索了选定的研究来源列表、相关会议和灰色文献。设定了21年的时间限制（2000 - 2021年）。最后，选择了16篇文章进行本系统评价。纳入研究的设计具有异质性，且由于所涵盖的研究数量较少，作者无法进行荟萃分析。颞下颌关节紊乱病的病因是多因素且复杂的。因此，很难研究这种疾病与预测因素之间的关系。本研究结果表明，为确定后牙合垫对颞下颌关节紊乱病的影响，应开展更多的临床试验和病例对照研究。
