Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate craniocervical posture and hyoid bone position in patients with and without temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). METHODS A total of 113 people were included in the study, including 55 TMD patients and 58 healthy controls. Using lateral cephalograms, the craniofacial, craniocervical, and hyoid bone positions of the participants were evaluated in terms of 27 variables. RESULTS There was no significant difference in craniocervical angles between participants with or without TMD. While the Hy-B, Hy-NSL, Hy-NL measurements and FMA (°), AFH (mm) measurements of participants with TMD were lower than the control group, the hyoid angle was greater than the control group. CONCLUSION These study findings provide evidence that TMD is not related to craniocervical posture but to the position of the hyoid bone and craniofacial morphology.

Assessment of the Morphology and Degenerative Changes in the Temporomandibular Joint Using CBCT according to the Orthodontic Approach: A Scoping Review. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:6863014. [PMID: 35155678 PMCID: PMC8826117 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6863014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background. Available knowledge about disorders of temporomandibular joint structures and their association with orthodontic variables are still lacking. Objectives. This article is aimed at to identifying studies and presenting current information on the relationship between morphology diversity and the occurrence of degenerative changes in structures of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessed by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the context of craniofacial morphology and malocclusion. Search Methods. The review was conducted by analyzing the PubMed (including Medline), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases up to November 2021 using two different comprehensive search strategies based on keywords as well as additional manual searches. Eligibility Criteria. Selection of the literature was carried out according to the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Methodological quality of the selected studies was evaluated using JBI Critical Appraisal Tool. Results. The electronic databases search revealed 3331 records. After applying the eligibility criteria and JBI assessment, a total of 33 studies were extracted and selected to the study. The review was divided into 4 parts, in which the following correlations were assessed in terms of orthodontic variables: TMJ degenerative changes, joint space and condylar position, condylar shape, TMJ articular eminence, and fossa. Conclusions. Skeletal and dental class II malocclusion with a retrognathic mandible, a hypodivergent skeletal pattern with a steep mandibular plane, and significant lateral mandibular displacement can be risk factors for developing radiographically detectable degenerative changes. Patients with skeletal and dental class III malocclusion as well as a hyperdivergent skeletal pattern may be at greater risk of TMD occurrence compared with other groups. Further studies are necessary to clarify the relationship between the position of the condylar processes and the presence of degenerative changes in the temporomandibular joints among orthodontic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study sought to investigate associations among progressive temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA), airway dimensions, and head and neck posture. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 114 temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients were enrolled. Among 114 patients, 28 had no pathologic bony changes in the TMJ condyles (TMDnoOA), 45 had progressive TMJ OA (TMJOApro), and 41 demonstrated TMJ OA which had not progressed for 12 months (TMJOAnopro). TMJ OA was diagnosed based on the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD axis I. Computed tomography (CT) images and lateral cephalograms were obtained at baseline (T0) and 12 months after treatment (T1). The head and neck posture and airway area in upright position were analyzed using lateral cephalograms whereas airway volume in supine position was determined by 3D reconstructed CT images. RESULTS The volume change of the oropharynx in supine position was more prominent in the TMJOApro than in the TMDnoOA but no significant differences in changes in the pharyngeal airway while in upright position were detected. The retrognathic facial profile became more remarkable at T1 in the TMJOApro and TMJOAnopro compared to those at T0. The forward head posture seemed to be progressed in the TMJOApro than in either the TMJOAnopro or TMDnoOA. CONCLUSION Progressive TMJ OA may have associations with retrognathia and decreased oropharyngeal airway volume in the supine position but not in the upright position. Progressive TMJ OA may be related with altered head posture in the upright position to compensate for reduced airway dimensions.

Abstract
Traumatic joint injuries produce osteoarthritic cartilage manifesting accelerated chondrocyte terminal differentiation and matrix degradation via unknown cellular and molecular mechanisms. Here we report the ability of biomechanical stress to increase expression of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a pivotal driver of chondrocyte terminal differentiation, in cultured chondrogenic cells subjected to fluid flow shear stress (FFSS) and in chondrocytes of rodent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cartilage subjected to unilateral anterior cross-bite (UAC). In cultured ATDC5 cells or TMJ chondrocytes, FFSS induced Ca2+ loading and CaSR localization in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), casually accelerating cell differentiation that could be abrogated by emptying ER Ca2+ stores or CaSR knockdown. Likewise, acute chondrocyte-specific Casr knockout (KO) prevented the UAC-induced acceleration of chondrocyte terminal differentiation and matrix degradation in TMJ cartilage in mice. More importantly, local injections of CaSR antagonist, NPS2143, replicated the effects of Casr KO in preventing the development of osteoarthritic phenotypes in TMJ cartilage of the UAC-treated rats. Our study revealed a novel pathological action of CaSR in development of osteoarthritic cartilage due to aberrant mechanical stimuli and supports a therapeutic potential of calcilytics in preventing osteoarthritis in temporomandibular joints by targeting the CaSR. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Objective The aim of study was to determine the association between signs of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), occlusal support, and alterations in the craniofacial structure of elderly Vietnamese by using cephalometric analysis. Methods The cross-sectional study consisted of 244 participants aged 65-74 years. Participants were examined for signs of TMD, including limited mouth opening, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) crepitus, TMJ tenderness, and muscle tenderness. Dentition was divided into four occlusal support zones based on occluding pairs of posterior teeth by using Eichner's classification: Class A = 4 support zones; Class B = 1-3 support zones or only contact in anterior teeth; Class C = 0 support zones. Fifteen angular and seven linear parameters were used for sagittal craniofacial skeleton analysis. Results 10.3% of participants had limited mouth opening, 49.6% TMJ crepitus, 16.3% TMJ tenderness, and 24.2% muscle tenderness; 45.5% had Class A occlusal support, 38.5% Class B, and 16.0% Class C. Those with Class C had significantly smaller ramus inclination, articular angle, and angles formed by the mandibular plane and shorter facial height compared to Class A and Class B (P < .001). TMD signs were significantly associated with: angles formed by mandibular plane, gonial angle, cranial base angle, effective mandibular length, and anterior facial height (P < .05). Conclusions The alteration of craniofacial structures was significantly associated with TMD signs among elderly Vietnamese. The higher number of lost occlusal support zones, the more significant the changes to craniofacial structures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The association between body postural changes and temporomandibular disorders
(TMD) has been widely discussed in the literature, however, there is little
evidence to support this association. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review to assess the
evidence concerning the association between static body postural misalignment and
TMD. METHOD: A search was conducted in the PubMed/Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane,
and Scopus databases including studies published in English between 1950 and March
2012. Cross-sectional, cohort, case control, and survey studies that assessed body
posture in TMD patients were selected. Two reviewers performed each step
independently. A methodological checklist was used to evaluate the quality of the
selected articles. RESULTS: Twenty studies were analyzed for their methodological quality. Only one study was
classified as a moderate quality study and two were classified as strong quality
studies. Among all studies considered, only 12 included craniocervical postural
assessment, 2 included assessment of craniocervical and shoulder postures,, and 6
included global assessment of body posture. CONCLUSION: There is strong evidence of craniocervical postural changes in myogenous TMD,
moderate evidence of cervical postural misalignment in arthrogenous TMD, and no
evidence of absence of craniocervical postural misalignment in mixed TMD patients
or of global body postural misalignment in patients with TMD. It is important to
note the poor methodological quality of the studies, particularly those regarding
global body postural misalignment in TMD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contemporary approach of dentistry towards interdisciplinary cooperation is based on the neuromuscular concept. In recent years many authors have pointed out a correlation between orthopaedic and dental findings. Furthermore, there is an intimate biomechanical interrelationship of occlusion with cerebral fluid circulation, left and right equilibrium, gaze stabilisation and headache. The influence of a dental occlusion and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) status on general health has been widely analysed in the current scientific literature. AIM The aim of this analytic study was to display the deep relationship between dentistry and other fields of medicine, and to show the necessity of wide cooperation between dentists and physicians. CONCLUSIONS This study was based on a review of 41 sources, including specialised articles and books. The significance of different anatomical and physiological preconditions (occlusion, muscles and TMJ status) was considered and evaluated separately. However, as a result of modern concepts of general body health, extending cooperation between different fields of medicine is essential. The practical application of the principles of neuromuscular dentistry enables one to increase greatly the treatment efficiency of aches in muscles, headaches, postural dysfunctions as well as of many other diseases. However, the dentist's contribution to the development of an interdisciplinary approach is underestimated. Many theoretical aspects of the interdisciplinary relationship have not been sufficiently examined, hence the practical consequences remain unclear. Further research in the field is urgently needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study are to evaluate the dentofacial morphology of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to compare the morphological data with those of healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects. METHODS Twenty-seven RA patients (mean age, 45.77 ± 8.64 years) and 25 healthy subjects (mean age, 44.80 ± 8.24 years) participated in this prospective study. Clinical and functional evaluations of the RA patients were assessed. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level, rheumatoid factor level, and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) titers of RA patients were determined, and DAS28 scores were calculated. Linear and angular measurements were performed on cephalometric tracings and condylar erosion was evaluated on lateral panoramic radiographs. Statistical comparison of the two groups was performed with an independent samples t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between the clinical and laboratory parameters. RESULTS Based on DAS28 scores, no patient with RA was in the remission period, 3 patients had low, 23 had medium, and 1 had high disease activity. Sixteen (59.26 %) patients with RA had positive ACPA titers. Lateral cephalometric radiographs revealed statistically significant difference between the two groups for the measurement of U1-NA (millimeter; p = 0.047), U1-NA (degrees; p = 0.031), L1-NB (degrees; p = 0.030), IMPA (L1-MP; p = 0.001), interincisal angle (U1-L1; degrees; p = 0.022) and midface length (Co-A; millimeter; p = 0.033). A significant positive linear correlation was found between disease duration time and DAS28 scores (r = 0.066, p = 0.040). CONCLUSIONS Dentoalveolar effects of RA on dentofacial morphology are more significant than the skeletal effects. Future studies with larger sample sizes are required to evaluate the exact effects of RA on dentofacial morphology. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians should consider the fact that RA-associated dentoalveolar changes can be observed and may affect the orthodontic treatment process.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be described as non-inflammatory arthritic condition that results in degenerative changes of the joint structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the skeletal morphology of the TMJ in patients with osteoarthritis with severe skeletal malocclusions (Class II and Class III) and patients with Class I occlusion as controls. Cone beam computed tomography images of 45 Class I, 28 Class II and 44 Class III joints of Caucasian patients were assessed for the presence of any degenerative changes in the condyle and fossa/eminence complex as described in the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD). In all groups, the most commonly observed features were articular surface flattening and subcortical sclerosis. A combination of features that corresponds to a diagnosis of osteoarthritis was observed in 3% Class I, 43% Class II and 20% Class III patient joints. In conclusion, degenerative TMJ changes were more common in patients with skeletal jaw discrepancies, but wide inter-individual variations can be observed even in patients with clinically similar malocclusions.
