About

Trauma, neurological disorders and psychological problems, which are the etiological factors of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, can be seen in patients with traumatic brain injury.

The aim of this study is to investigate temporomandibular joint dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Participants (traumatic brain injury patients and healthy volunteers) will be evaluated once for temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Full description

Temporomandibular joint range of motion, Fonseca questionnaire, facial asymmetry, and massater and temporal pain threshold will be evaluated by measuring both TBI patients and healthy individuals. In addition, post-injury dietary intake and dominant chewing side will be questioned in TBI patients. Temporomandibular movements will be measured with a disposable cardboard ruler.

Exclusion criteria; communication and cooperation problems, congenital or systemic disease affecting the head and neck region, being treated for TMED and having a history of orthognathic surgery.

Enrollment: 60 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
