ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To investigate the occlusion features in thre e dimensions in patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD).Methods:
Occlusal casts were obtained from 23 asymptom volunteers and 101 TMD pati ents and were analyzed in three dimensions by scores vertically, mesio-distally and labial-or buccal-lingually. Bilateral TMJs of each TMD patient was examin ed with Schuller's radiograph and tomograph, the sounding TMJs were examined wit h arthrography. The relationship between occlusion scores and the changes shown in X-ray images were analyzed.Results:
66.3% TMD patients had abnormal occlusion in vertical direction.Abnormal occlusion in vertical directio n was correlated with TMD symptoms(P 0.05 ).Conclusion:
Abnormal occlus ion in vertical direction is correlated with TMD symptoms.
