Relationship between occlusal factors and signs and symptoms of mandibular dysfunction. A clinical study of 48 dental students. 1984

B Droukas, and C Lindée, and G E Carlsson

Forty-eight young adults answered a questionnaire and were examined clinically for determination of symptoms and signs of mandibular dysfunction in accordance with the Helkimo indices. Occlusal conditions recorded included contacts in centric and excentric mandibular positions in accordance with specified criteria for registration of "ideal occlusion', various occlusal patterns, occlusal interferences, and dental attrition. Relatively frequent but mainly mild signs and symptoms of mandibular dysfunction were found. The occlusal conditions were extremely varied and did not show any significant correlations with signs and symptoms of mandibular dysfunction.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D013706 Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome A symptom complex consisting of pain, muscle tenderness, clicking in the joint, and limitation or alteration of mandibular movement. The symptoms are subjective and manifested primarily in the masticatory muscles rather than the temporomandibular joint itself. Etiologic factors are uncertain but include occlusal dysharmony and psychophysiologic factors.

D014072 Tooth Abrasion The pathologic wearing away of the tooth substance by brushing, bruxism, clenching, and other mechanical causes. It is differentiated from TOOTH ATTRITION in that this type of wearing away is the result of tooth-to-tooth contact, as in mastication, occurring only on the occlusal, incisal, and proximal surfaces. It differs also from TOOTH EROSION, the progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes not involving bacterial action.
