A total of 135 patients (thirty-three males, 102 females) seeking treatment for pain and dysfunction of the TMJ were divided into five subgroups using the clinical dysfunction index of Helkimo. No relation could be found between the number of occluding molars and premolars and the severity of the symptoms nor the evolution of the complaints. A weak correlation was found between the outcome of the treatment with the occlusal splint and occlusal adjustment, and the above mentioned occlusal parameters (r = 0.47).
共有135名因颞下颌关节疼痛和功能障碍而寻求治疗的患者（33名男性，102名女性），使用赫尔基莫临床功能指数被分为五个亚组。未发现咬合磨牙和前磨牙的数量与症状严重程度或主诉进展之间存在关联。发现咬合夹板治疗和咬合调整的治疗结果与上述咬合参数之间存在弱相关性（r = 0.47）。
