Abstract
Objective: This systematic review summarised the results reported in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) aimed at evaluating the different treatment approaches in patients with tinnitus associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) evaluated with the diagnostic criteria of temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD), and the possible predictive factors influencing treatment outcomes.
Methods: The electronic databases Medline, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACs) were searched systematically up to March 2023. Only RCTs with full texts were included in this study. The eligibility of the RCTs selected was based on the PICO model (participants, intervention, comparators, outcomes), and subjects of any age, sex or ethnicity, were included when showing both tinnitus and TMD, diagnosed through DC/TMD criteria.
Results: From a total of 635 articles, only five RCTs were included and the data from a total of 329 participants were examined. Two RCTs focused on the efficacy of the multidisciplinary approach among people with tinnitus who have TMD; two RCTs examined prognostic indicators predicting a positive outcome after multidisciplinary orofacial treatment; one RCT analysed low-level laser therapy's effectiveness with Nd:YAG laser.
Conclusion: A multidisciplinary non-invasive approach is the most efficacious treatment for tinnitus in patients diagnosed with TMD. Baseline tinnitus severity, gender, quality of life, age, and tinnitus duration were considered predictive factors of clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with DMTs and referring tinnitus.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
