ASSESSMENT OF THE PREVALENCE OF THE CLINICAL SUBGROUPS OF TEMPORO-MANDIBULAR DISORDERS IN THE EXAMINED ADULTS, THEIR GENDER AND AGE DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

Purpose of the study. To study and analysis of the prevalence of clinical diagnoses of temporomandibular disorders (TMJ) among the examined adults using approved by the International Association of Dental Research (IADR, 2014) diagnostic criteria for TMJ, clinical diagnostic protocol (DC/TMD, Axis I). Research methods. Clinical and radiological methods according to the clinical diagnostic protocol DC / TMD, Axis I, statistical methods of data processing. Scientific novelty. The results of the spread of the different TMD Axis 1 clinical subgroups in the Ukrainian population are based on a standardized, unified assessment system DC/TMD, Axis I, which creates the possibility of comparative analysis with foreign studies and creating common strategies for prevention and treatment of TMD. Conclusions. The most common group of different joint disc displacement types (DD) was 55.47%, and muscle disorders (MD) such as myalgia, myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) – 48.83%. In general, the share of pain-related TMD (PR – TMD) represented by myalgias and arthralgias was 62.11%. The group of DD is the youngest in the age aspect with the m/a of 34.93 ± 11.98 years, the oldest is the group of degenerative temporomandibular joint diseases (DJD) with a share of 18.75% and the m/a of – 48.88 ± 15, 83 years. In all groups, women predominate, depending on the group – 2.5–6 times more than men.
