Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı temporomandibular eklem bozukluğu (TMB) olan kadınlarda çiğneme ve boyun kaslarının basınç ağrı eşiği (BAE) arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir.
Yöntem: Çalışmamıza, Ağustos 2019- Kasım 2019 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Üniversitesi, Çapa Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, Total-Parsiyel Protez Ana Bilim Dalı’nda miyofasiyal TMD tanısı almış ve takibi gerçekleştirilen 20 kadın dahil edilerek, olguların veri analizleri retrospektif olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çiğneme kasları olarak anterior temporal ve masseter kaslarının, boyun kasları olarak ise üst trapez ve sternokleidomastoid (SKM) kaslarının BAE değerleri çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. İstatistiksel olarak, verilerin ilişkilendirilmesi amacıyla Pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Olguların çiğneme ve boyun kaslarının bazı BAE değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif bir korelasyon bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Karşılaştırmalar için korelasyonlar “düşük” ve “orta” düzeydedir (r: 0,461- 0,645).
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda TMD’li kadınlarda bazı çiğneme ve boyun kaslarının BAE'si arasında bulunan pozitif ilişki, klinikte her iki bölgenin muayenesinde ve bozukluklarında oluşturulan tedavi programlarında diğer bölgenin de göz önünde bulundurulması gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.

INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRESSURE-PAIN THRESHOLD OF MASTICATORY MUSCLES AND NECK MUSCLES IN WOMEN WITH TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between the pain pressure threshold (PPT) of masticatory and the neck muscles in women with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Methods: Twenty women diagnosed with myofascial TMD who were followed up at Istanbul University, Capa Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Total-Partial Prosthesis, between August 2019- November 2019, were included and data analysis of the cases was performed retrospectively. PPT values of the anterior temporal and masseter muscles as masticatory muscles, and the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles as neck muscles were included in the study. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to provide statistical analysis of the data.
Results: A statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the some PPT values of the masticatory and neck muscles (p<0.05). Correlations were “low” and “moderate” for all comparisons (r: 0.461- 0.645).
Conclusion: The positive relationship between the PPT of the some masticatory and neck muscles in women with TMD in our study highlights the necessity of considering the other region in the clinical examination of both regions and in the treatment programs created for their disorders.
