Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) Occlusion and Orthodontic treatment Thor Henrikson
TMD views and opinions…. • Patients • Colleagues • Non systematic reviews. “Viewpoints” • Commercial interests “Not everybody with TMJ clicking needs TMJ surgery”
TMD in relation to Orthodontic treatment • Causing TMD? • Curing TMD? • Neutral?
TMD, Occlusion and Orthodontic treatmentPresentation outline • Introduction to Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) • How do we measure and register TMD? • How do we diagnose TMD?
TMD, Occlusion and Orthodontic treatment • Aetiology? • Scientific evidence regarding the influence of occlusal factors?
TMD, Occlusion and Orthodontic treatment • Orthodontic treatment and TMD? • TMD in treated and untreated cases. • Short and long term
TMD • Collective term • # clinical problems • Masticatory muscles • TMJ and associated structures
Anamnestic data: Symptoms of TMD • TMJ sounds • Pain from the masticatory muscles • Pain from the TMJs • Feelings of fatigue in the the jaws • Tension headache
Clinical data: Signs of TMD • TMJ sounds • Tenderness to palpation masticatory muscles and/or the TMJs • Pain on movement of the mandible • Reduction in mandibular mobility
Symptoms and signs of TMD • are mostly mild in childhood. • increase with age, both in prevalence and severity duringadolescence.Cross sectional, adult, children&adolescents • Magnusson et al. Community Dent Oral Epid 1985 • De Bouver et al. Community Dent Oral Epidemiology 1987 • Wänman and Agerberg. Acta Odontol Scand 1986
Magnusson et al. Four year study of mandibular dysfunction in children. Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 1985 Four year interval. Two cohorts 7-11 years, 11-15 Signs and symptoms of TMD increased in frequency and severity Only a few cases with severe TMD.
Higher prevalence of headaches, TMJ clicking and muscular signs of TMD in girls compared with boys... • Nilner 1986 • Wännman and Agerberg 1986 • Pilley et al 1992 • Kremenak et al 1992 • Nebbe et al 2000.
Men and woman have different courses of symptoms of TMD • Men seem to recover to a greater extent than woman • Wänman A. Longitudinal course of symptoms of craniomandibular disorders in men and woman. Acta Odontol Scand 1996.
Symptoms and signs of TMD • often fluctuates over the course of time… • With both improvement and impairment in the individual • Longitudinal studies of TMD • Könönen and Nyström J Orofacial Pain 1993 • Heikinheimo et al. Eur J Orthod 1990 • Dibbets and van der Weele Am J Orthod 1987 • Magnusson et al. J Craniomandib Pract 1986
In view of the normal fluctuation over time…. • Symptoms and signs of TMD does not mean that TMD treatment is necessary
5% TMD treatment demand in children and adolescents • Wänman and Agerberg 1986. 5% demand • Sonnesen et al. 1998. 7% were referred for TMD treatment • List et al. 1999. 4% treatment demand. • Henrikson et al. 2000. 3% treatment demand.

RDC/TMD Dworkin and LeResche (1992) • Provides astandardized clinical registration • TMD diagnosesand diagnostic criteria • Diagnoses arenonhierarchicaland allows for ofmultiple diagnosesfor a given subject

J Orofac Pain. 2006;20(2):138-44.The reliability and validity of self-reported temporomandibular disorder pain in adolescents.Nilsson, List and Drangsholt • CONCLUSION: Very good reliability and high validity were found for the self-reported pain questions. • In adolescent populations, the questions in this study can be used to screen for TMD pain
TMD, Occlusion and Orthodontic treatment • What is Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)? • How do we measure and register and diagnose TMD? • Aetiology? • Scientific evidence regarding the influence of occlusal factors?
Anatomical factors, including the occlusion and the TMJ • Neuromuscular factors • Psychogenic factors DeBoever and Carlsson Copenhagen, Munksgaard, 1994
Occlusal interferences • Angle Class II, severe retrognathia • Large overjet • Anterior open bite • Posterior cross bite Controversy • Kirveskari et al. 1986, 1989, 1992 • Miller et al 2004, 2005.

Association between occlusal factors and signs and symptoms of TMDbut no causal relationship
Since…. • An association is necessary but not a sufficient criterion for a causal relationship

John MT et al.Overbite and Overjet are not Related to Self-report of Temporomandibular Disorder Symptoms J Dent Res 81(3): 164-169, 2002 • No associations were found between overjet, overbite and reported TMD (TMJ pain, joint noises and limited mouth opening) • “This study provides the strongest evidence to date that there is no association between overbite or overjet and self-reported TMD”
Pullinger & Seligman • J Prosthet Dent. 2000; 84(1):114-5 • Quantification and validation of predictive values of occlusal variables in TMD using a multifactorial analysis. • Occlusal factors explained no more than 5% to 27% of the log likelihood. • CONCLUSION: Occlusal factors may be cofactors in the identification of patients with TMD, but their role should not be overstated
Consensus that the cause of TMD is multifactorialbut • Centrally acting factors like depression and somatization have more evidence to support them as risk factors than local factors • Nevertheless because local factors occur with notable prevalence and may be accessible for prevention they could still have major public health impact Drangsholt and LeResche 1999
Conclusion TMD-Occlusion • Aetiology?! • Occlusal factors are not strong causal factors • Occlusal factors may be contributing factors • The importance of occlusal factors for the development of TMD should not be neglected and not be overstated
Conclusion • Well designed studies will continue to improve understanding • Overall prognoses for TMD is good • Do not over-treat • Except in rare occasions; simple and reversible TMD treatment
