Objectives : The goal of this study is to investigate how occupational stress affects temporomandibular disorders (TMD), dry mouth and oral symptoms. Methods : For this study, workers from 5 areas were selected and the survey was carried out from June 1st to 30th, 2012. A total of 410 questionnaires were analyzed. Results : The analysis of the structural model shows that occupational stress has no significant influence on temporomandibular disorder and dry mouth symptoms, but does affect other oral symptoms. The results also reveal that dry mouth symptom and temporomandibular disorder both have a significant effect on oral symptoms. Conclusions : Oral symptoms and job stress appeared to directly and indirectly influence the psychological and social factors of job stress. A systemic investigation on the improvement of oral health in workers is urgently required.

Objectives The aim of this review is to investigate clinical studies for manual therapy on Temporomandibular Joint Disorder and to propose for the better method of studies in the future. Methods We investigated recent clinical studies for manual therapy on Temporomandibular Joint Disorder via searching Pubmed, KISS, KISTI, KERIS, KMBASE and National Assembly Library. 21 domestic and overseas articles were analyzed and the journals, the authors, the published years, countries, methods, periods, techniques of chiropractic, outcome measures, and purpose of those articles were examined. Results Studies on manual therapy were mainly published via Cranio. The diagnostic criteria that most frequently adopted in the overseas articles were research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders, The technique of chiropractic that most frequently adopted in the articles was passive traction and translation of TMJ. Many of the studies were researched for effectiveness of the manual therapy as the secondary treatment. Conclusions Reviewing the recent clinical studies for manual therapy on temporomandibular joint disorder and figuring out the strong points and weak points of those studies are necessary to future studies. It is anticipated that this review would benefit the in-depth treatments for temporomandibular joint disorder in terms of Korean medicine.

Objectives : These studies are designed to make a survey of the effectiveness of oriental medicine treatment on temporomandibular disorder. Methods : The clinical study was done on 194 cases of patients with temporomandibular disorder who was treated in Ja-Seng Oriental Medicine Hospital from January 2008 to June 2008. After treatment we checked VNRS(verbal numerical rating scale) score and five-point linkert scale. Also we observed the change of symptom of click sound and trismus. Results : After the last treatment, The mean VNRS(verbal numerical rating scale) score changed 4.63 to 2.25. The click sound was disappeared of 53% patients, and the trismus was disappeared of 57% patients. And The five-point linkert scale were checked 3.78. Conclusions : It is concluded that oriental medicine treatment has on useful effect on temporomandibular disorder.

Objectives To determine the effectiveness of Tuina for temporomandibular joint disorder. Methods We searched 10 electronic databases (Pubmed, CNKI, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, KISS, KISTI, NDSL, RISS, KMBASE, DBpia) up to May 2017. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using Tuina for temporomandibular joint disorder. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results 14 RCT studies were eligible in our review. 14 studies were divided into 4 groups, and meta-analysised. The meta-analysis of 6 studies showed favorable results for the use of Tuina. High risk of bias were observed in 9 studies. Conclusions Although there are favorable results with meta-analysis, our systematic review are highly dependent on the single source of Chinese electrical database, CNKI. Now limited evidence is available to support Tuina for temporomandibular joint disorder and further well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.

Objective: In patients with temporomandibular joint disorders, air insoles are used to investigate functionality and pain changes in the temporomandibular joint when walking in daily life. Intervention: Sixty-five patients with temporomandibular joint disorder were recruited: 34 as a control group who walked more than 7,000 steps a day in daily life, and 31 as an experimental group who were instructed to take at least 7,000 steps every day while wearing their air insoles. Measurements: To determine the effects of air insoles on temporomandibular joint pain, steady-state pain, maximum mouth opening, average pain, and the most severe pain were measured before and after the experiment. In addition, to evaluate functionality, the ability to open the mouth in a comfortable state, pain when opening the mouth, and the point of sound and maximum degree to which the mouth could be opened were evaluated before and after the experiment. Results: Pain, mouth openness, and sound points showed significant differences from the control group after the experiment, and the maximum mouth opening range showed no significant difference. Conclusion: When air insoles were used by patients with temporomandibular joint disorder, the functionality of the temporomandibular joint was improved and pain was decreased.

다른 근골격성 질환에서와 같이, 측두하악장애의 징후와 증상은 일시적이거나 자기 한정적(self-limiting)인 경우가 많다. 따라서 복잡한 교합 치료나 수술과 같은 비보존적, 비가역적 치료를 초기치료로 선택하는 것은 가급적 피해야 한다. 또한 자가요법, 행동 수정, 물리치료, 약물요법, 장치치료 등과 같은 보존적, 가역적 치료가 측두하악장애의 초기치료로 추천된다.

본 연구는 측두하악장애환자와 정상인 간 그리고 측두하악장애환자의 분류에 따른 하악과두와 하악지 비대칭지수를 파노라마 방사선사진에서 비교하여 측두하악장애환자의 진단 및 치료계획 수립에 도움이 되고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 측두하악장애환자 120명과 정상인 30명의 파노라마 방사선사진을 촬영후, 투사도를 작성하였다. 그리고 파노라마 방사선사진 계측항목 계측치의 평균값과 표준편차를 측두하악장애환자와 정상인으로 구분하여 산출한 다음 비대칭지수식을 이용하여 비대칭지수를 산출하여 양군 간의 비교분석을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 측두하악장애군과 대조군 간 하악과두 수직비대칭지수는 유의한 차이를 보였으나, 하악지 수직비대칭지수에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2. 관절장애군과 근육장애군의 하악과두 수직비대칭지수는 대조군에 비해 더 크게 나타났지만, 관절장애군과 근육장애군 간의 하악과두 수직비대칭지수는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. 관절장애군, 근육장애군, 그리고 대조군 간의 하악지 수직비대칭지수 비교에서는 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4. 관절원판변위군, 정복성관절원판전위군, 그리고 비정복성관절원판전위군 간의 하악과두 그리고 하악지 수직비대칭지수 비교에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 5. 하악과두와 하악지 수직비대칭지수 모두 연령증가와 관련이 없었다. 이상의 결과는 측두하악장애군이 정상인에 비해 하악과두 수직비대칭지수가 높게 나타나, 이러한 차이가 측두하악장애와 관련이 있음을 시사하였다. 따라서 파노라마 방사선사진을 이용한 하악과두 수직비대칭지수 측정은 측두하악장애 진단과 치료시 고려해야 할 중요한 부분으로 사료된다.

Occlusion may change spontaneously but dental treatment or trauma in the patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) may also alter occlusion. This report presents three cases displaying occlusal changes. Review of literature emphasizes the significance of TMD treatment. Conservative treatment modalities such as counseling, medication, physical therapy and splint therapy may be selected as initial treatment options. Irreversible or invasive treatment, such as orthodontic, prosthodontic, and occlusal adjustment should not be attempted early. In case there is no response to conservative treatment, joint injection, muscle injection, arthrocentesis or arthroscopic surgery might be performed.
