Abstract
Objective: To assess jaw and neck function, pressure pain threshold (PPT), and the presence of trigger points (TrPs) in disc displacement with reduction (DDWR) subjects compared to healthy subjects.
Methods: One hundred DDWR subjects and 100 matched controls were studied. Clinical evaluations included demographic data, range of motion, jaw and neck disability, PPT, and muscle TrPs.
Results: DDWR subjects have limited pain-free opening limitation (p < 0.001), jaw and neck disability limitation (p < 0.001), and higher presence of active and latent TrPs limitation (p < 0.001) compared to healthy subjects.
Conclusion: DDWR subjects present a limited pain-free mouth opening, higher jaw and neck disability, lower PPT, and major presence of active and latent TrPs compared to healthy subjects. Cervical spine and TMJ evaluation and treatment should be considered in DDWR patients.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
