Incidence of temporomandibular joint disorders in an elderly population
The purpose of this study was to establish incidence of symptoms and tissue-specific changes of tempromandibular joint function in elderly subjects. The study comprised 218 subjects aged 67.2 on average. Manual functional analysis was used for diagnosing tissue-specific changes of temporomandibular joint function. The history established that 30 (13.8%) subjects had subjective symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders, and tissue-specific internal tempromandibular joint disorders were diagnosed in 90 (41.3%) subjects. The most usual tissue-specific changes were osteoarthrosis (13.8%) and total anterior disk displacement with reposition (10.1%). A statistically significant difference was found between sexes in incidence of symptoms and tissue-specific diagnoses (p<0.05). Intracapsular changes of the tempromandibular joint very often occur in elderly persons, and their right diagnosis is very important. It helps in identification and right treatment of the existing changes, as well as in occlusal and prosthetic care of the patient.
