Summary

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of bruxism on Temporomanbular joint functionality and dysfunction severity in individuals with Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD).

Detailed description

The study included 91 individuals aged 20-55 years with TMD. Participants who volunteered to participate in the study signed the Informed Consent Form and completed the Descriptive Data Form including demographic characteristics. The presence of bruxism in individuals with TMD was questioned and the maximum mouth opening measurement was recorded. TMD severity was assessed by Fonseca's Anamnestic Questionnaire (FAQ), pain severity was assessed by Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), and masticatory and TMJ functioning was assessed by JAW Functional Limitation Scale-20 (JFLS-20). The evaluations of the participants were performed only once.

Conditions
