Abstract
Background/purpose
The impact of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osseous destruction on bone mineral density (BMD) remains unclear due to controversial findings. Besides, no previous study has explored the relationship between idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) and body composition. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ICR and BMD or body composition.
Materials and methods
Between July 2018 and August 2022, patients evaluated by an experienced dentist and diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) were referred to our center. They were recruited while they received the magnetic resonance image (MRI) examination, BMD and body composition completely. Patients were further categorized into TMDs with or without ICR groups according to MRI findings. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the variables of BMD and body composition in the two groups.
Results
In total, 67 patients were included in the analysis, with 42 categorized as TMDs with ICR and 25 as TMDs without ICR. Patients with ICR had a significantly higher lean mass percentage and lower fat mass percentage; lower android/gynoid fat ratio, and visceral adipose tissue area than those without ICR (P < 0.05). Besides, patients above age 30 with ICR had lower Z scores (P = 0.017) compared with subjects without ICR.
Conclusion
TMDs patients with ICR show a relationship with body composition and affect the lean and fat mass distribution, especially android/gynoid fat ratio. The pathophysiological mechanism remains unclear. Further researches to investigate teeth binding, malocclusion and dietary habits are important to understand the association of ICR, BMD and body composition.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases.
The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
