Clinical Trial: Age and Gender in TMJ Sounds
Study Status: COMPLETED
Recruit Status: COMPLETED
Condition: Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Age and Gender on TMJ Sound Frequencies and Mouth-Opening Distances
Brief Summary:
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a crucial role in masticatory function, and its proper lubrication is essential for smooth, frictionless movement.Disruptions to the lubricating system, often due to age-related changes or parafunctional activities such as teeth clenching or bruxism, can increase joint friction, leading to vibrations or intra-articular sounds.These sounds have become an essential diagnostic tool for assessing internal derangements of the TMJ.While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is…
