Xu L, Zhou H. Causal associations between sleep traits and temporomandibular disorders: a bidirectional mendelian randomization analysis. Front Genet 2024; 15:1429190. [PMID: 39113681 PMCID: PMC11303139 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2024.1429190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aims to investigate the relationship between five sleep traits (insomnia, sleep duration, getting up in morning, snoring, and daytime nap) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using bi-directional Mendelian randomization. Methods The bi-directional Mendelian randomization study was conducted in two stages. Initially, sleep traits were examined as exposures while TMD was evaluated as an outcome, whereas the second step was reversed. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method and other Mendelian randomization methods were used for analysis. Furthermore, we performed the MR-Egger intercept, MR-PRESSO, Cochran's Q test, and "Leave-one-out" to assess the levels of pleiotropy and heterogeneity. Results The IVW method indicates that getting up in the morning reduces the risk of developing TMD (OR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.30-0.81, p = 0.005), while insomnia may increase the risk of TMD (OR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.10-3.85, p = 0.025). However, other sleep traits are not associated with the risk of TMD, and having TMD does not alter an individual's sleep traits. After removing outliers, the results remained robust, with no pleiotropy detected. Conclusion Genetically determined difficulty in getting up in the morning and insomnia can increase the risk of TMD. By optimizing sleep, the risk of developing TMD can be reduced. This underscores the importance of sleep in preventing TMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between jaw function and income in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to explore this association and its relationship with anxiety and depression. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 451 TMD patients, including 361 males and 90 females, participated in this study. The sociodemographic information of patients and their questionnaires including the Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9), and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8) were collected. Patients were divided into the high-income and low-income groups based on a household per capita income of 6000 RMB per month. Multiple regression and mediation analysis were used to explore the association between variables. The bootstrap method was applied to estimate confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Higher JFLS-8 scores were significantly correlated with higher GAD-7 scores (r = 0.361, p < .001), PHQ-9 scores (r = 0.339, p < .001). Females and patients with low income had statistically higher JFLS-8 scores (p < .01, p < .001). Mediation analysis with 10 000 bootstrap simulations revealed a significant direct association between JFLS-8 scores and income (-2.920, 95% CI [-4.757, -1.044], p = .002). A significant indirect association of JFLS-8 scores with income via GAD-7 scores and PHQ-9 scores was also observed (-0.889, 95% CI [-1.728, -0.164], p = .025), accounting for 23.3% of the total association. CONCLUSIONS Low income is associated with impaired jaw function via anxiety and depression in patients with TMD. Clinicians may need to pay more attention to the psychological status of low-income TMD patients in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aims to report the perception of dental practices and assess the individual's psychological stress level and related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) symptoms by evaluating the changes that occurred during the year following the first lockdown (May 2020). MATERIALS AND METHODS An online questionnaire was submitted to the Italian population between 20 March and 20 April 2021. It was sent via online platforms and included 14 questions. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The data were analyzed using a chi-squared test and a comparison of the current data with the May 2020 survey data was performed using independent samples t-tests. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS Forty-three percent of subjects (872) considered the dental practice to be a place with a high risk of infection. Temporomandibular pain and joint sounds were reported by 35.7% (724) of the population; of these more frequently were women (71.8%, 520/724, p < 0.001). About 31% of the participants had moderate/severe psychological distress and, among them, it was found that 46.4% (294/634) reported TMD pain (p < 0.001) and 34.9% (221/634) complained of temporomandibular joint sounds (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Most participants did not consider dental practices as a place with a higher risk of coronavirus disease 2019 transmission and, in contrast to the data from a previous study, people were less afraid to go to dental practices. After the first year of the pandemic, the level of stress and depression increased and the prevalence of TMD pain and joint sounds increased, in association with gender, age, and level of distress.

Focus Groups to Inform the Development of a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMDs). THE PATIENT 2023; 16:265-276. [PMID: 36840915 PMCID: PMC9961303 DOI: 10.1007/s40271-023-00618-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) can help doctors and patients document, monitor, and manage the disease and help researchers evaluate interventions. Patients with TMDs experience symptoms ranging from mild to severe, primarily in the head and neck region. This study describes findings from formative patient focus groups to capture, categorize, and prioritize symptoms of TMDs towards the development of a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). METHODS We conducted ten focus groups with 40 men and women with mild, moderate, and severe TMD. Focus groups elicited descriptions of symptoms and asked participants to review a list of existing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from the literature and patient advisor input and speak to how those PROs reflect their own experience, including rating their importance. RESULTS We identified 52 distinct concepts across six domains: somatic, physical, social, sexual, affective, and sleep. Focus groups identified the ability to chew and eat; clicking, popping, and other jaw noises; jaw pain and headaches; jaw misalignment or dislocation; grinding, clenching, or chewing, including at night; and ear sensations as most important. Participants with severe TMDs more often reported affective concepts like depression and shame than did participants with mild or moderate TMDs. CONCLUSION Findings support PROM item development for TMDs, including selecting existing PROMs or developing new ones that reflect patients' lived experiences, priorities, and preferred terminology. Such measures are needed to increase understanding of TMDs, promote accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, and help advance research on TMDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need to assess a relationship between the psychoemotional state of patients and the occurrence and the intensity of pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in relation to a Polish population. There are no such precision data in the literature relating to the population of big Eastern European country. The study conducted by the authors refer to a large group of male and female adult patients of the Polish population in a different age profile. As a result, this study provides a picture of the situation that also takes into account population characteristics that may affect the clinical situation of patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the pain intensity, pain-related disability, anxiety, depression, and perceived stress among Polish adults with TMD as well as the association between psychosocial impairment and TMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 219 adult patients from the Outpatient Clinic for Temporomandibular Disorders at the Academic Dental Polyclinic in Wroclaw. The patients completed validated questionnaires, and received a TMD diagnosis based on a standardized examination (Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders) performed by a qualified dentist. A statistical analysis was carried out on the collected data. RESULTS Myalgia was the most commonly diagnosed condition among the TMD patients. Furthermore, the prevalence of perceived stress, anxiety, and depression was high in the studied sample. Females showed more depression symptoms than males, while the level of anxiety and stress was similar in both groups. The most statistically significant correlation was observed between the group of masticatory muscle disorders and the level of depression, stress, pain intensity, and pain-related disability. CONCLUSION Due to the high prevalence of increased levels of anxiety, depression, and perceived stress, it is essential to screen the psychosocial status of Polish TMD adult patients. Psychosocial status may have an impact on a studied patient's response to treatment and pain intensity, and pain-related disability. Therefore, Polish TMD adult patients should be provided with management based on an interdisciplinary approach. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION [https://clinicaltrials.gov/], identifier [NCT05183503].

Temporomandibular Disorders as a Risk Factor for Suicidal Behavior: A Systematic Review. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12111782. [PMID: 36579500 PMCID: PMC9692338 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12111782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of common musculoskeletal dysfunctions that affect the temporomandibular joint or masticatory muscles and related structures or are expressed as a clinical combination of these two factors. The etiology of TMD is multifactorial and features related to anxiety, depression and mental disorders can contribute to the predisposition, onset and progression of TMD. The ability to adapt and develop coping attitudes was reduced in patients presenting with chronic pain, while suicidal behavior (suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide completion) was increased. The objective of this review was therefore to investigate suicidal behavior in relation to TMD. METHODS The review was performed according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Six databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Ovid, and Google Scholar) were consulted through the use of keywords related to the review topic. The study is registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022320828). RESULTS The preliminary systematic search of the literature yielded 267 records. Excluding duplicates, 15 were considered potentially relevant and kept for title and abstract analysis. Only six articles were considered admissible reporting a single exposure factor, TMD and a single outcome, suicidal behavior, although these were evaluated through different assessment tools. We found a low association of TMD with suicidal behavior in observational studies, with estimates partly provided [prevalence ratio (PR) from 1.26 to 1.35, 95% confidence intervals (CI) from 1.15 to 1.19 (lower) and from 1.37 to 1.54 (higher); and odds ratios (OR) from 1.54 to 2.56, 95% CI from 1.014 to 1.157 (lower) and 2.051 to 6.484 (higher)], a relevant sample size (n = 44,645), but a few studies included (n = 6). CONCLUSIONS The results of the included studies showed that the prevalence data of suicidal behavior were more present in young adults with TMD, with a controversial association with gender. Suicidal behavior was also correlated and aggravated by the intensity of pain.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose of this study was to examine the discriminative properties of the 3-item Pain (P), Enjoyment (E), and General activity (G) (PEG) questionnaire for grading impact of nondental orofacial pain. Two hundred eighty-six consecutive patients with orofacial pain of nondental origin filled out the PEG questionnaire and Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS, version 2). Correlation between the PEG and GCPS scores, internal consistency of the PEG, and differences between groups were examined statistically (level of significance: P ≤ 0.05). The mean (±SD) age of the 213 patients (158 female) who were included in the analysis was 43.1 (±16.7) years. Of the sample, 48.8% (n = 104) had some degree of orofacial pain-related disability (mean overall characteristic pain intensity: 51.2 ± 23.2, average overall PEG score: 4.3 ± 2.7, and average PHQ-9 score: 8.2 ± 6.5). No significant differences were found between the sexes for any score. The number of disability points (GCPS) and overall PEG score showed a strong and positive correlation (Spearman ρ = 0.77, P < 0.001). The internal consistency of the PEG questionnaire was high (Cronbach α = 0.86). Assuming 3 different levels of orofacial pain-related disability (mild, moderate, and severe), we obtained overall accuracy of 69.01%, with high specificity for mild and severe cases. The 3 PEG groups (mild, moderate, or severe) differed from each other significantly regarding their clinical grading according to the GCPS (Kruskal-Wallis, P < 0.001). Analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that a single cutoff value of 3.8 points in the PEG score yields adequate validity (sensitivity = 0.91 and specificity = 0.78). The proposed 2 cutoff points (upper = 7 and lower = 4) yield low sensitivity for the upper threshold. The 3-item PEG questionnaire is suitable for grading impact of nondental orofacial pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence of sagittal relationships, asymmetries and midline shift, and their associations with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966). MATERIALS AND METHODS 1845 subjects participated in a clinical examination at the age of 46. Occlusal measurements were performed using 3D models. Symptoms of TMD were screened using validated questions, and signs and diagnoses of TMD were assessed using a modified protocol of the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) and questionnaires. Associations between variables of occlusion and TMD were evaluated with χ2-test and Fisher's exact test and using logistic regression analyses, adjusted for self-reported general health, mental health, bruxism, and rheumatoid arthritis. RESULTS The most common sagittal relationships were Class I and normal canine relationship. Half-cusp Class II and post-normal canine relationship were more frequent in females, and Class III and pre-normal canine relationship in males. Deviations from normal cuspid or molar relationships showed a weak but statistically significant association with TMD, especially in females. Half-cusp Class II and Class II relationships were more frequent in relation to joint-related TMD signs and diagnoses while missing canines were associated with pain-related TMD diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS The present study findings gave some indications that canine relationships are associated with pain-related TMD, whereas Angle II sagittal occlusal relations may associate with joint-related TMD. Occlusal characteristics should therefore be taken into account as one possible associating factor in subjects with TMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can be challenging to manage for clinicians and patients alike. It is unclear which factors are associated with prolonging conservative care and patient dissatisfaction with treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVES To examine factors collected during a physical therapy (PT) evaluation in a cohort of individuals with TMD to determine factors associated with an increased number of PT visits and reduced patient satisfaction. METHODS Records of 511 patients referred to PT over 18 months were reviewed to extract 27 variables to develop a predictive model. Outcomes were patient satisfaction following PT and number of PT visits. Linear and zero inflated negative binomial regressions were used, and a multivariate regression model was built for both outcomes. RESULTS Two factors were associated with both lower patient satisfaction and an increased number of PT visits: higher patient rated functional neck disability and a greater number of healthcare professionals seen. Other factors associated with patient satisfaction were duration of symptoms, subluxation, and referral from an oral surgeon. Only patient rated functional neck disability score was a significant predictive factor in the multivariate model. Factors associated with number of PT visits were gender, educational level, time between initial visit and discharge, number of pain areas, bruxism, biopsychosocial factors, dizziness, pain rating, and presence of neck pain. In the multivariate model, gender, number of healthcare professionals seen, and resting pain rating were significant predictors of number of PT visits. CONCLUSION Considering key factors on initial evaluation, specifically functional neck disability and the number of prior healthcare professionals seen before starting PT, can help to predict a higher number of PT visits and reduced patient satisfaction with outcomes.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 50:1464-1470. [PMID: 33712316 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2021.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a distressing consequence of a traumatic event associated with an increased suicide risk and reduced quality of life. Surgeons often have low confidence in identifying psychological problems. The prevalence of PTSD following facial trauma ranges from 23% to 41%. This highlights the importance of identifying and managing at-risk patients to optimize both mental and physical recovery. IMPARTS (Integrating Mental and Physical healthcare: Research, Training and Services) provides electronic screening tools to guide the non-mental health clinician in the 'real-time' identification, documentation, and management of potential mental health problems. The bespoke IMPARTS facial trauma screening tool was piloted in a UK oral and maxillofacial surgery trauma clinic from July 2015 to November 2017. A total of 199 patients completed screening, with 48 (24%) screening positive for possible PTSD. Further analysis of these 48 patients revealed that four (8%) had PTSD symptoms alone; three (6%) also screened positive for depression, 17 (35%) for co-existing symptoms of anxiety, and 24 (50%) for PTSD, anxiety, and depression. IMPARTS was found to be a highly effective tool aiding the non-mental health clinician to screen for PTSD and initiate prompt management. The data captured informs planning of the psychological support service.

Kashiwagi K, Noguchi T, Fukuda K. Effects of soft occlusal appliance therapy for patients with masticatory muscle pain. J Dent Anesth Pain Med 2021; 21:71-80. [PMID: 33585686 PMCID: PMC7871186 DOI: 10.17245/jdapm.2021.21.1.71] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The options for stabilization appliance therapy for masticatory muscle pain include soft occlusal and hard stabilization appliances. A previous study suggested that hard stabilization appliance therapy was effective for patients with local myalgia who developed long facets on their occlusal appliances. The objective of this study was to identify patients in whom a soft occlusal appliance should be used to treat masticatory muscle pain by analyzing the type of muscle pain present and patient factors that influenced the effectiveness of this treatment. Methods The study included 42 patients diagnosed with local myalgia or myofascial pain according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders Diagnostic Decision Tree. The analysis of patient factors included variables believed to be associated with temporomandibular disorders. First, a temporary screening appliance was used for 2 weeks to assess each patient for bruxism during sleep. Soft appliance therapy was then started. For each patient, the effectiveness of the appliance was evaluated according to the intensity of tenderness during muscle palpation and the treatment satisfaction score at one month after starting treatment. Results Data from 37 of the 42 patients were available for analysis. Twenty-five patients reported satisfaction with the appliance. In logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for reduction of facet length was 1.998. Nineteen patients showed at least a 30% improvement in the visual analog scale score. The odds ratio for local myalgia was 18.148. Conclusion Soft appliance therapy may be used in patients with local myalgia. Moreover, patients who develop short facets on the appliance surface are likely to be satisfied with soft appliance therapy. Soft appliance therapy may be appropriate for patients with local myalgia who develop short facets on their occlusal appliance.

Abstract
Background: Anxiety is an important factor in the process of chronic pain in patients with Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD).
Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of minimally invasive management of muscular TMD on the levels of anxiety (state and trait), pain, and other parameters in patients with muscular TMD.
Methods:
A total of 83 patients (64 women and 19 men; mean age, 25.16 ± 4.40 years) who were clinically diagnosed with TMD were evaluated. During the first clinical session (T1) and after clinical evaluation and diagnosis, the participants filled out a pain visual analog scale and answered the Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) and State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S). In addition, the bite strength of the participants was evaluated, and minimally invasive management (thermotherapy, orientation exercises, and cognitive behavioral therapy) was initiated in that session. After 8 weeks (T2), all parameters were reevaluated. The results obtained were statistically analyzed and found to have a significance level of 5%.
Results:
A significant decrease in pain, STAI-T, and STAI-S scales were observed from T1 to T2 (p < 0.0001). Higher values of bite strength were observed at T2 compared to T1 (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the levels of pain, trait-anxiety, and state-anxiety.
Conclusion:
Minimally invasive management of TMD resulted in a reduction in the levels of pain and anxiety (trait and state) of the participants evaluated, suggesting a possible association of these factors with chronic myofascial pain.

Abstract
A 21-year-old female patient presented with temporomandibular disorder, skeletal Class II, Angle Class II division 2 malocclusion, gummy smile, and incomplete overbite was managed successfully by splint therapy and orthodontic camouflage with miniscrew anchorage and extraction. She was treated with occlusal splint to alleviate signs and symptoms of anterior disc displacement without reduction and the associated masticatory dysfunction and revealed the true malocclusion before orthodontic treatment. Computer software facilitated the formulation of visual treatment objective (VTO) and occlusogram which guided the whole arch intrusion, retraction of the upper anterior segment, mesialization of lower left dentition, and distalization of lower right dentition. In this case report, the rationale and importance of preorthodontic splint therapy and specific considerations in orthodontic mechanics for managing this patient were discussed.

Abstract
Psychiatric illness is extremely common and the general dental practitioner (GDP) will inevitably encounter patients with such an illness. This article outlines common psychiatric conditions that the GDP should be familiar with alongside its impact on oral health. It also gives a systematic approach to dealing with a patient who presents to practice with an undiagnosed psychiatric illness, whereby the illness interferes with delivery of suitable dental care.
