Dental factors commonly associated with signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders were investigated in a group of nonpatients. A highly sensitive technique was used to establish the presence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds. In a discriminant analysis nonworking side interferences, attrition, molar contacts, horizontal range of jaw movement, and morphologic occlusion contributed significantly to the prediction of sounds. Further study of morphologic aspects of the joint and stress-related parafunctions may contribute to the understanding of the development of TMJ sounds. We concluded that TMJ sounds are a fairly common sign associated with mild deviations in certain morphologic and functional aspects of the stomatognathic system.
在一组非患者中，对通常与颞下颌关节紊乱症的体征和症状相关的牙齿因素进行了调查。采用一种高度敏感的技术来确定颞下颌关节（TMJ）弹响的存在。在判别分析中，非工作侧干扰、磨耗、磨牙接触、下颌运动水平范围和形态咬合对弹响的预测有显著贡献。对关节形态方面和与压力相关的副功能的进一步研究可能有助于理解TMJ弹响的发生发展。我们得出结论，TMJ弹响是一种相当常见的体征，与口颌系统某些形态和功能方面的轻度偏差有关。
