BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint(TMJ)is the third most common site of pain in the orofacial area, while the masseter muscle was the primary painful masticatory muscle. The temporal and frontal region were pain areas indicated by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMDs) patients. The purpose of this study was to compare two different treatment modalities, physical therapy and occlusal appliance to treat myofascial pain. METHODS This retrospective study comprises of all orofacial pain patients attending orofacial pain clinics of Dental University Hospital, King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Patients were categorized into two groups, the first group: patients treated by the occlusal appliance (hard type). The second group: patients treated by physiotherapy home exercises, including posture position modification. Physical therapy included muscle stretching and isometric tension against resistance exercises and guided jaw movements. Methods of clinical examination was based on the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RDC/TMD) criteria. The data of pain level was collected based on the visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS 16.1 % of patients were male, and 83.9 % of the patients were female. With the mean age being 31.1 years old. 92.9 % were Saudi patients and 7.1 % were non-Saudi. 50 % of the patients were using an occlusal appliance, and 50 % went for physiotherapy. The independent t-test showed a highly significant difference between different management methods with a P – value of 0.038 and a mean difference of 0.32143. 80.5 % of the patients reported masseter muscle pain as one of their main complaints. CONCLUSIONS A significant difference was observed between physiotherapy and occlusal appliances with education in treating patients with myofascial pain. Patients using the occlusal appliances showed a high percentage of pain reduction (85.7 %) compared to physiotherapy treatment (57.1 %) in a short period of time. Henceforth, patient’s education plays a significant role in pain reduction. KEY WORDS Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, Occlusal Appliance, Myofascial Pain, Physiotherapy

Objective To determine the prevalence, sociodemographic features, and clinical presentation of temporomandibular joint disorder in otorhinolaryngological practice. Methods This prospective hospital-based study involved patients diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorder in our institution’s ear, nose, and throat department. Data for this study were obtained from the patients using pretested interviewer-assisted questionnaires. Results The prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder in this study was 1.3%. The study population included 17 (26.2%) male patients with a male:female ratio of 1.0:2.8. Joint disorder accounted for 75.4% of all disorders, while both mastication muscle and joint disorder accounted for 21.5%. A majority of the patients (47.7%) presented between weeks 1 and 13 of the illness. Unilateral temporomandibular joint disorder accounted for 98.5% of all disorders. The main otologic clinical features were earache and a dull tympanic membrane in 100% and 35.4% of patients, respectively. Middle ear assessment revealed type A in 73.8% of patients and type B in 20.0% according to Jerger’s classification system of tympanometry. Most patients (81.5%) were referred by their family physician. All patients had undergone prehospital treatment prior to presentation. Conclusion Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common presentation in medical practice. Common clinical features include ear, joint, and mastication muscle disorders.

This study aimed to investigate BMI changes following a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) diagnosis. The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort from 2002 to 2015 was used. In Study I, 1808 patients with TMJD (TMJD I) were matched with 7232 participants in comparison group I. The change in BMI was compared between the TMJD I and comparison I groups for 1 year. In study II, 1621 patients with TMJD (TMJD II) were matched with 6484 participants in comparison group II participants. The change in BMI was compared between the TMJD II and comparison II groups for 2 years. In Study I, the BMI change was not associated with TMJD. In Study II, the BMI change was associated with TMJD in the interaction of the linear mixed model (p = 0.003). The estimated value (EV) of the linear mixed model was −0.082. The interaction was significant in women <60 years old, women ≥60 years old, and the obese I category. TMJD was not associated with BMI changes after 1–2 years in the overall population. In women and obese patients, TMJD was associated with a decrease in BMI after 2 years.
